1/ Senior Relocation & Estate Sale Company

📍 Location: N/A
💰 Asking Price: $1,950,000
💼 EBITDA: $520,000
📊 Revenue: $2,000,000
📅 Established: 2017

💭 My 2 Cents: I’m always on the lookout for businesses that meet the needs of our aging population. This company delivers a full suite of services dedicated to senior citizens and their moving needs, including downsizing support, home clear-outs, inventory management, and auctions. I like their diverse revenue streams, mission-driven brand with national press coverage, and strong increase in billing rates since inception, which underscores the sticky demand for their services. And it makes sense as seniors move for life-stage reasons (retirement, assisted living, passing of a spouse), not discretionary timing. I’d want to know the revenue breakdown across their services, where most leads come from (e.g., senior living facilities, realtors, elder law attorneys), and how concentrated their referral base is. I’d also want to see what portion of auction gross transaction value (GTV) converts to net revenue, what tech stack powers their operations, the condition of their small fleet of vans and trucks, their employee vs. contractor mix, and the true cost of labor compared to billed rates. For a growth-minded buyer, this is a scalable model that can expand geographically into new territories, or even potentially through franchising.

2/ Security Systems Provider

📍 Location: South Carolina
💰 Asking Price: $3,300,000
💼 EBITDA: $850,899
📊 Revenue: $5,064,417
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: Regular readers know I like security businesses as they’re not only mission-critical since customers can’t simply pause them like other expenses but most clients who install also sign long-term service and maintenance contracts. What’s even better about this business, in operation for 25 years in the coastal South Carolina area, is they specialize in the design and installation of security and video surveillance systems for commercial and government clients, which generally correlates with larger contracts, recurring service/maintenance, and less price sensitivity. I like that $488K of FF&E comes with the asking price, while their well-designed facility, experienced staff, and internal systems suggest a well-run operation that can support additional growth. I’d need to check how dependent they are on their top clients and if there’s any concentration risk, their average contract length and renewal rate, gross margins on design/installation vs. service/maintenance, what their current backlog and pipeline look like, and which brands/technologies are used and if they have any exclusivity or reseller agreements. There are strong market tailwinds here with rising crime concerns, liability risks, and insurance requirements pushing businesses and governments to invest more in surveillance. Plus, new tech means upgrade cycles every 5-7 years, keeping demand alive.

3/ Sports Surfacing Contractor

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $3,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,079,687
📊 Revenue: $4,255,633
📅 Established: 2003

💭 My 2 Cents: This Florida-based specialty sports contractor provides high-quality surfacing solutions for athletic facilities and public infrastructure for commercial and institutional clients across the Southeastern United States. They benefit from strong public funding tailwinds, with infrastructure bills, school budgets, and community investments in recreation facilities fueling demand. I like their combination of new construction and maintenance work, the $425K of FF&E included in the sale, and the leased facility that is already built out. I also like that they have grown organically without outbound sales or marketing, which points to their stellar reputation and strong referral network. Given their small 6-person team, I’d need to understand the depth and experience of project managers and crews and how they leverage subcontractors. I’d also need to get a handle on their current backlog and pipeline, project mix, win rate on bids, ability to scale labor across multiple states, whether they have manufacturer partnerships such as exclusive distributor or installer status, and their exposure to material cost fluctuations in asphalt, synthetic turf, and rubber. While this business requires specialized expertise, the seller is open to staying on as a consultant for an extended period as needed.

4/ Healthcare Management Service Organization (MSO)

📍 Location: California
💰 Asking Price: $3,300,000
💼 EBITDA: $734,000
📊 Revenue: $2,100,000
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: A healthcare MSO is a company that takes care of all the business and administrative work for doctors so they can focus on treating patients. This well-established MSO supports 17,000+ members across California, Texas, and Arizona, with their services deeply embedded in provider operations spanning business development, network expansion, IT systems, finance, medical management, claims processing, and provider network operations. I like their multi-state coverage, long-term contracts that ensure stable recurring revenue, and very strong 35% margins driven partly by their lean operation and low overhead. I also like that the retiring owner is open to providing up to 3 years of transition support through a management agreement, which would ensure a seamless handoff. I’d want to find out how they earn money through per member per month fees, shared savings, administrative fees, and performance bonuses, how their member base is distributed across the three states, how sticky their clients are and what their churn rate is, and whether there are any pending regulatory changes in these states that could impact operations or put pressure on margins. While this business comes with regulatory complexity, for someone with a healthcare background there could be huge upside with healthcare management solutions providers expected to grow at a double-digit CAGR through 2030.

5/ Pallet Manufacturer

📍 Location: Iowa
💰 Asking Price: $6,200,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,039,070
📊 Revenue: $5,272,346
📅 Established: N/A

💭 My 2 Cents: This Iowa-based manufacturer makes pallets, crates, and other packaging materials that are critical for supply chains across industries. While these products are often commoditized and low margin, they have differentiated themselves by maintaining a large inventory that allows them to quickly and fully fulfill orders. They come with real estate valued at more than $2.2M and $1.2M in FF&E, with an additional $950K of inventory available that is not included in the asking price, and this serious volume of assets both solidifies a moat against new entrants and opens up doors for additional lending options. I’d need to dig into their inventory strategy, including turnover rates, risk of obsolete stock, and the systems used for inventory management. I’d also want to understand how lumber price fluctuations are managed through pass-through pricing or hedging, whether customers are on long-term contracts or spot orders, and the facility’s capacity and current utilization. Ultimately, pallets are the backbone of global logistics, invisible yet indispensable.
