1/ Concrete Block and Precast Business
📍 Location: Washington
💰 Asking Price: $4,850,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,480,875
📊 Revenue: $7,069,746
📅 Established: 1947
💭 My 2 Cents: The concrete products industry is benefiting from strong tailwinds, driven by ongoing federal and state infrastructure spending that continues to pour billions into roads, bridges, and public works—sustaining demand for precast and prestressed concrete even during broader construction slowdowns. This company manufactures over 200 types of concrete blocks and precast and prestressed concrete products for use in infrastructure, architectural, and landscaping applications. In business for nearly 70 years, they have built a strong reputation serving a loyal client base within a 250-mile range of their Pacific Northwest facility. I really like how they are poised for further growth, as they have streamlined their manufacturing practices, creating a scalable infrastructure that can support increased production volume. Another real positive is the more than $2M in FF&E included in the sale, representing both significant tangible assets and a serious barrier to entry for competitors. I’d want to understand who their major clients are, what percentage are recurring, whether relationships are based on annual bids, long-term contracts, or handshake deals, gross margins by product line, the condition of key equipment (e.g., curing kilns, molds, casting beds), expected capex over the next 3–5 years, and the roles of their 18-person team. They have strong earnings relative to their asking price, giving a new owner room to invest in growth or ensure a smooth transition.
2/ Commercial & Residential HVAC Company
📍 Location: Utah
💰 Asking Price: $4,900,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,379,650
📊 Revenue: $8,811,024
📅 Established: 2006
💭 My 2 Cents: I really like this Utah-based HVAC company’s strategic dual-brand model, which allows them to serve both residential and commercial clients across the Intermountain West. The business is evenly split between the two divisions: (1) large-scale systems for commercial clients and (2) installations, repairs, and maintenance on the residential side. This structure provides a built-in hedge against seasonal and economic fluctuations by balancing project-based revenue with recurring service income. I also like their significant cash flow, robust staff, and inclusion of $760K in FF&E (check condition) in the purchase price. I’d need to check the % of revenue from installs vs. maintenance vs. repairs, # of active service agreements and renewal rates, average contract value, licensing requirements for the different states they operate in, what seasonality looks like for either side of the business, what CRM and dispatch systems they have in place, and where leads come from (SEO, referrals, paid ads, homebuilder relationships?). Ultimately, Utah is one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., with strong population and construction growth, especially in the Intermountain West. That should translate to steady demand for HVAC installs, retrofits, and service contracts.
3/ Towing Company
📍 Location: Nevada
💰 Asking Price: $3,250,000
💼 EBITDA: $962,400
📊 Revenue: $3,895,004
📅 Established: 2012
💭 My 2 Cents: Towing is an essential service, whether for accident recovery, breakdowns, impounds, or insurance roadside assistance. People don’t shop around when they need a tow, they call whoever can get there fastest. This Nevada-based company operates a fleet of 22 trucks capable of towing light and medium-duty vehicles, from motorcycles and cars to vans and light trucks. They operate 24/7 supporting a diversified customer base that includes insurance carriers, logistics firms, commercial accounts, and the general public. I like their significant asset base, strong cash flow, solid mix of B2B and B2C customers, and favorable facility lease terms. Their fleet size also suggests they have the infrastructure in place to support an active owner or GM looking to expand their market share. I’d need more details on their fleet, to include its condition, average age, and capex needs. I’d also want to look into the terms of their ongoing contracts and their level of recurring revenue, dispatch and operations systems, as well as driver turnover rates, safety records, and any union issues. There is always a baseline demand for towing, so this looks like an opportunity to acquire a proven cash producer with real upside potential.
PRESENTED BY SMB DILIGENCE
Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Skip Due Diligence…
A friend of mine put a business under LOI and asked me for my advice.
I recommended he contract a 3rd party due diligence partner to rebuild the company's P&L from scratch.
Turns out their EBITDA was off by 2x 😳
Enter SMB Diligence.

4/ Commercial Laundromat & Textile Rental Company
📍 Location: Kentucky
💰 Asking Price: $5,560,000
💼 EBITDA: $824,876
📊 Revenue: $3,885,709
📅 Established: 2001
💭 My 2 Cents: Retail laundromats may be overhyped, but commercial laundromats with recurring B2B relationships are still flying under the radar. This Kentucky-based company has provided industrial laundry and dry cleaning services (think hospitals, hotels, gyms, and factories), as well as textile rental and sales for nearly 25 profitable years (14 under current ownership). The asking price includes nearly $1M in real estate and $400K+ in specialized equipment, but the real upside lies in the fact that they currently operate only one daily shift and are already at capacity, often turning away business. A growth-minded buyer could unlock immediate value by adding a second shift. I’d want to get a handle on the revenue split between their laundry and textile services, if they have any recurring contracts, seasonality trends or contract cycles, equipment condition and projected 3–5 year capex, delivery route profitability (if applicable), and staffing needs for a second shift. If expanding the team is straightforward, this looks like a strong opportunity with built-in demand and clear room to scale.
5/ Commercial Landscaping Business
📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $4,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $942,362
📊 Revenue: $5,495,493
📅 Established: 1996
💭 My 2 Cents: This is not a "mow-and-go" operation—it’s a professionally run, contract-driven business with institutional clients, a built-in team, and predictable cash flow. They service 28 HOA and condo association properties with over $325K in monthly recurring revenue. What’s compelling is these clients don’t churn easily, and contracts are usually governed by formal RFPs or board votes, adding some stickiness to the customer base. More than 65% of revenue comes from maintenance contracts, while the remainder is driven by high-margin extras like landscape upgrades, irrigation repairs, and pest control. The business also includes a 60-person workforce, a well-established management structure that allows the owner to remain part-time in a sales and advisory role, and over $1 million in FF&E. I’d need to better understand their current contracts, to include their standard terms, average duration, and renewal rate, if any of their clients make up more than 10% of sales, if they use subcontractors for services like pest control, the condition of their equipment and if any is pending replacement, and what opportunities might exist to expand their service area or move into adjacent verticals (e.g., commercial office landscaping, municipal contracts). For someone seeking more of a hands-off opportunity, the strong management in place mitigates against transition risk, while the asset-heavy nature of the business offers some nice collateral support for financing.
