1/ Jukebox Route

📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $5,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,148,233
📊 Revenue: $3,973,573
📅 Established: N/A

💭 My 2 Cents: Move over, ATM routes. This jukebox operation delivers all the benefits of equipment leasing without the cash handling headaches or security concerns. The company owns and leases TouchTunes jukeboxes and audiovisual systems exclusively to franchisees of a major nationwide restaurant chain, with 686 units deployed across 34 states under long-term revenue-sharing agreements, some spanning over a decade. What makes this particularly attractive is the revenue-sharing model tied to a stable, multi-location customer base that already has the foot traffic and venue infrastructure to support consistent jukebox usage, eliminating the need for constant customer acquisition or site turnover. The 29% EBITDA margin on nearly $4M in revenue reflects the scalability of managing equipment across hundreds of locations, and the sale includes roughly $3.2M in equipment assets that provide both tangible value and replacement cost protection. I'd want to understand the revenue split mechanics with franchisees, equipment refresh cycles and capital expenditure requirements, and whether there's exclusivity or risk of the franchisor bringing jukebox services in-house or switching vendors. The beauty of this business is that it capitalizes on the enduring demand for ambient entertainment in casual dining while benefiting from the shift to digital jukeboxes that offer broader song libraries, mobile app integration, and higher per-play revenue than traditional coin-operated machines.

2/ Towing Business

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $2,275,000
💼 EBITDA: $572,465
📊 Revenue: $1,872,337
📅 Established: 2008

💭 My 2 Cents: Towing is a steady, recession-resistant business built on accidents, breakdowns, and parking enforcement, all of which happen regardless of economic conditions. This Southwest Florida operation has built a diversified book of business that spans insurance contracts, municipal agreements, repair shop partnerships, and direct consumer calls, which provides stability and reduces dependence on any single revenue stream. What stands out is the maturity of the operation: a fleet of rollback trucks, wreckers, and service vans valued at $400K, along with experienced dispatchers and drivers who handle the complexity of 24/7 operations. The business has clearly moved beyond the owner-operator stage and established the systems needed to run predictably. Growth opportunities likely exist through expanding municipal contracts, adding impound storage services, or strengthening digital presence to capture more direct consumer calls in a region with growing population and vehicle registrations. I'd want to understand fleet maintenance schedules and replacement costs, driver retention and insurance expenses, and whether existing contracts have room for rate increases given inflation in labor and fuel. Ultimately, the institutional relationships they have take years to build, creating a durable barrier to entry in a market where timing and reliability matter more than price.

3/ Residential & Commercial Plumbing Company

📍 Location: Michigan
💰 Asking Price: $2,200,000
💼 EBITDA: $560,945
📊 Revenue: $1,560,052
📅 Established: 1951

💭 My 2 Cents: Plumbing is one of those essential service businesses that weathers every economic cycle, and this mid-Michigan operation has proven its staying power over 75 years. The revenue mix is well balanced, with 70% coming from residential service and repair work that provides repeat revenue, and 30% from commercial boiler projects that offer higher-ticket contracts and diversification. What's impressive is the maturity of the team: experienced staff run daily operations without heavy owner involvement, and one owner is willing to stay on post-sale, which could solve the master plumber licensing requirement for buyers without the credential. The business has grown entirely through word of mouth and referrals without any marketing spend, which signals strong reputation and substantial untapped upside through SEO optimization and Google Ads. I'd want to understand technician retention and wage structures, the backlog and renewal rates on commercial contracts, and whether the residential customer base skews toward emergency calls or planned maintenance. Given the nationwide shortage of skilled tradespeople and the fact that 75 years of reputation can't be replicated overnight, this business offers a meaningful competitive moat in a fragmented local market where most plumbers are still one-person operations struggling to scale.

4/ Specialty Foods Manufacturer

📍 Location: Maine
💰 Asking Price: $2,850,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,007,000
📊 Revenue: $7,500,000
📅 Established: 25+ Years Ago

💭 My 2 Cents: Contract manufacturing in specialty foods offers a compelling middle ground between branded consumer products and pure commodity production, and this Maine-based operation has built a stable business around it. For over two decades, they've supplied premium freezer-to-oven products to national grocery chains, direct-to-consumer brands, and private-label clients, operating as the production engine behind other companies' brands rather than competing for shelf space themselves. The business benefits from long-term client relationships that suggest reliable order flow, and the included assets are substantial: $1.69M in equipment and $575K in inventory rolled into the asking price, plus $2.5M in real estate available separately, which gives a buyer flexibility on structure and future facility costs. What jumped out to me is the 13% EBITDA margin on $7.5M in revenue, which is respectable but suggests room for improvement through operational efficiency, capacity utilization, or premium product mix. I'd want to understand how much revenue sits with the top three clients, production capacity and throughput limits, and if co-packing agreements include price escalation clauses to protect against rising input costs. The real opportunity here is leveraging excess capacity to add new clients or product lines while benefiting from the tailwinds of consumers trading up to premium frozen foods and brands outsourcing production to focus on marketing and distribution.

5/ Window & Door Replacement and Roofing & Remodeling Company

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $3,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,056,727
📊 Revenue: $10,503,722
📅 Established: 30 years ago

💭 My 2 Cents: This business has built a smart competitive advantage by bundling two complementary service lines under one roof: a mature window and door replacement operation with 30 years of history and a newer roofing and remodeling division launched in 2017. The integrated offering allows them to capture larger projects and present homeowners with a single point of contact for exterior upgrades, which creates natural upsell opportunities and differentiates them from smaller, single-trade contractors. With 33 full-time employees and solid infrastructure including $369K in equipment and $375K in inventory, the business appears operationally mature and capable of handling meaningful volume from two adjoining leased facilities. The Florida location is particularly attractive given ongoing demand for hurricane-rated windows and energy-efficient products, which should provide steady tailwinds as building codes tighten and insurance incentives favor resilient construction. The strong project backlog and repeat client base suggest reliable cash flow, though I'd want to understand customer concentration across developers and HOAs, the mix between residential and commercial work, and how dependent sales are on the owner's relationships or estimating expertise. One big advantage of this deal is the seller's willingness to offer 50% financing and potentially stay on as a partner, which should reduce transition risk.
