About this business

This is a residential and commercial Christmas lighting company with a complementary year-round event rental operation, serving a major metro area in Georgia since 2011. The business installs professional-grade holiday lighting for homeowners, HOAs, municipalities, car dealerships, and commercial properties, and rents event items including marquee letters, uplights, backdrops, and balloon displays for corporate and private events. Revenue is split roughly evenly across residential Christmas lighting, commercial Christmas lighting, and event rentals, with the event side keeping key staff employed and the bills paid through the off-season.

The owner built the operation from the ground up over more than a decade, designing many of the rental products in-house and manufacturing them on-site. The Christmas side runs on a tight seasonal calendar, with installs from early October through early December and removals through January. The owner reports that the average Christmas lighting customer stays on for about five years, and key installers have remained with the business season after season. The event business is year-round, with peak demand in May, October, and December, and the owner believes it could support two to three times its current volume with one or two additional drivers.

The owner is ready for a new chapter after more than a decade of building the business. He has been stepping back for stretches of up to three months at a time in the spring, and the operation has continued to run. He is offering up to 12 months of consultation support and will assist with the summer and fall Christmas transition to ensure a smooth handoff.
