1/ Asphalt & Paving Business

📍 Location: Arkansas
💰 Asking Price: $4,750,000
💼 EBITDA: $877,836
📊 Revenue: $6,483,947
📅 Established: 1980

💭 My 2 Cents: This Central Arkansas paving contractor focuses almost exclusively on public-sector work, which tends to be predictable, bid-driven, and less volatile than private construction cycles. In operation for an impressive 45 years, they have built long-term municipal and Arkansas Department of Transportation relationships, ensuring a steady flow of reliable repeat business. They come with experienced supervisory staff and more than $4.45M in equipment, enough to operate two full crews. I really like how much unused capacity is sitting in their asset base, as it seems there is twice as much equipment as is currently in use, so a new owner could double the workload without needing to invest in expensive new equipment. This level of hard assets also acts as a strong downside risk mitigator, as it is nearly worth the entire asking price, meaning a buyer’s purchase goes almost entirely to tangible (theoretically resellable) assets, rather than intangible goodwill. I'd want to understand current backlog and pipeline visibility, the competitive landscape for public bids in the region, bonding capacity and how it transfers, and whether there's appetite from existing customers for expanded services like sealcoating or parking lot work. The beauty of this business is that municipal road budgets are non-discretionary line items that get funded in good times and bad, making this one of the most recession-resistant models in construction.

2/ Auto Glass Repair Business

📍 Location: Arizona
💰 Asking Price: $6,200,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,669,436
📊 Revenue: $9,873,091
📅 Established: 2013

💭 My 2 Cents: Auto glass repair rarely gets systematized beyond a scheduling spreadsheet and a shop full of technicians, which is what makes this Phoenix operation exceptional. The owner has built genuine infrastructure around automation and KPIs, enabling semi-absentee operations where vacations don't disrupt workflow, a rarity in this trades-heavy segment. Arizona is particularly attractive for auto glass, accounting for 10% of all U.S. claims despite representing just 2% of the population, driven by extreme heat, gravel roads, and highway rock chips that create relentless demand. The business operates from two facilities, each with excess capacity, meaning a new owner could layer in volume through insurance partnerships, fleet contracts, or mobile service expansion without immediate capital outlays. I'd want to understand the revenue split between insurance referrals and direct bookings, how ADAS calibration is priced and integrated into the service offering, whether the KPI software is proprietary or transferable, and technician availability in the Phoenix market given the labor constraints across skilled trades. With new vehicles increasingly requiring recalibration after windshield replacement, this business is positioned at the intersection of a high-demand geography and a service category gaining technical complexity and pricing power.

3/ Wildlife Removal and Home Renovation Company

📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $4,900,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,344,000
📊 Revenue: $6,750,000
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: Wildlife removal paired with home renovation creates a natural upsell cycle that most pest control companies never capture, and this business has built both a thriving multi-location operation in Texas and a growing franchise system spanning multiple states. What's unusual here is buying the entire franchisor entity rather than a single franchise location, which means you're acquiring both cash-flowing corporate stores and a royalty stream from franchisees across the country. The dual revenue model provides downside protection and upside optionality: corporate locations generate immediate EBITDA while franchise fees and royalties compound as the network expands with minimal capital investment. The fact that operators are willing to pay for franchise rights suggests strong brand equity, proven systems, and genuine support infrastructure that goes beyond a simple licensing agreement. I'd want to understand the split between corporate EBITDA and franchise royalties, the franchisee support stack (training, lead generation, technology platforms), and whether wildlife work naturally leads to renovation projects or if cross-selling requires deliberate effort. The wildlife removal business model itself is appealing because nuisance animal problems create urgent, emotion-driven service calls that convert at high rates and often reveal structural damage requiring immediate repair work that the company is perfectly positioned to capture.

4/ Commercial Cleaning Company

📍 Location: Tennessee
💰 Asking Price: $3,049,000
💼 EBITDA: $593,751
📊 Revenue: $3,296,916
📅 Established: 1986

💭 My 2 Cents: Commercial cleaning is the kind of unsexy, contract-driven business that quietly prints cash while everyone chases the next shiny thing. This nearly 40-year-old janitorial operation has built exactly the kind of recurring revenue model buyers dream about, with 89% of revenue locked into annual contracts that often renew for years. The economics are compelling: exceptionally low overhead with just $1,600 monthly rent (in a facility available for purchase) and minimal asset requirements, keeping fixed costs lean while preserving margin. Four decades of operating history in one market suggests they've figured out how to retain clients and manage the workforce challenges that sink most cleaning companies, though I'd want to confirm the strength of those client relationships and understand whether contracts are truly sticky or vulnerable to underbidding. The real diligence work here is around labor: understanding their W-2 versus 1099 mix, employee turnover rates, after-hours staffing logistics, and quality control systems that keep customers from churning. The multiple feels slightly aggressive, but if this business is truly delivering 90% recurring revenue with low capital intensity and proven client retention, it's worth exploring whether there's room to layer in higher-margin specialty services like floor refinishing or post-construction cleanup that leverage the existing client base.

5/ Commercial and Municipal Landscaping Business

📍 Location: Nebraska
💰 Asking Price: $1,700,000
💼 EBITDA: $590,000
📊 Revenue: $1,400,000
📅 Established: 1992

💭 My 2 Cents: With 90% of revenue coming from commercial and municipal accounts, this landscaping operation has built the kind of contract-driven business model that most lawn care companies chase but never quite achieve. Unlike residential services where customers bounce between providers over a few dollars, commercial clients prioritize reliability and consistency, which creates stickier relationships and more predictable cash flow across apartment complexes, office parks, and government properties. The infrastructure is solid: $400K in equipment included in the sale, a 2,500 square foot facility at just $3,000 monthly rent, and a disciplined weekly maintenance schedule that minimizes breakdowns and surprise capex. Located in a growing Omaha metro submarket with expanding commercial development, the business is positioned to capture new accounts without needing to chase work in saturated residential neighborhoods. Growth opportunities exist through natural add-ons like hardscaping, irrigation, and snow removal, which would smooth revenue seasonality and deepen wallet share with existing clients. I'd want to understand the current revenue mix between recurring maintenance contracts and project-based work, how they manage labor and equipment utilization during Nebraska winters, and whether key commercial relationships are tied to the owner or formalized through multi-year service agreements. What's often overlooked in landscape businesses is that the real competitive moat isn't the equipment or pricing, it's the reliability and trust built over years of showing up on time with trained crews, something a new entrant can't replicate quickly.
