Project Courtside
Rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, highly profitable pavement marking and line painting business serving Alberta's thriving civil and commercial construction industry. Operating continuously since 2008, this company has built an elite reputation as a trusted partner to major paving contractors, property managers, and commercial developers across the province.
The business provides a comprehensive range of pavement marking services including roadway marking, parking lot layout and striping, parking structure marking, stenciling, runway and helipad marking, sport courts and recreational facilities, and crack filling. This diversified service offering supports consistent, seasonal revenue generation and positions the company as a true one-stop provider for its contractor clients.
FY2023 | FY2024 | FY2025
Revenue $490,783 | $551,254 | $713,241
SDE $177,765 | $256,393 | $359,623
SDE Margin 36% | 47% | 50%
Revenue has grown consistently year over year, with Seller's Discretionary Earnings nearly doubling between FY23 and FY25. The 50% SDE margin in FY25 reflects an exceptionally lean, well-managed operation with strong cash generation. The business is offered at 2.4x FY25 SDE — a compelling multiple for a business of this quality, scale, and growth trajectory.
What You're Buying
The acquisition includes a well-capitalized fleet, comprising 12 line painting machines, trailers, specialty equipment, earth-moving machinery, and service vehicles, everything needed to begin generating revenue from day one.
Why This Business Stands Out
The company serves over 50 customers annually with no single client representing more than 16% of total revenues, providing a diversified and resilient revenue base. The business has consistently operated with backlogs and waitlists during peak season, a testament to its reputation and the strength of its contractor relationships.
Staffing is managed through a proven seasonal labour model built around a recurring, returning workforce aligned with peak operational months, keeping labour costs predictable and manageable without year-round payroll obligations.
The Market Opportunity
Alberta's construction sector is forecasted to be among the strongest in Canada through 2026 and beyond, underpinned by the province's Capital Plan and record residential and commercial development activity. Significant untapped market share remains accessible through expanded service offerings and deeper penetration of the company's existing contractor network.
