Today’s Sponsor

Hello SMB Deal Hunters!

I’m excited to share 5 new businesses for sale worth checking out. First up…

Today's issue is sponsored by SMB Diligence, the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted legal counsel and Quality of Earnings providers.

1/ Hydraulic Hose Supply & Service Provider

📍 Location: Georgia
💰 Asking Price: $2,625,000
💼 EBITDA: $504,000
📊 Revenue: $1,490,000
📅 Established: 2018

💭 My 2 Cents: This is one of those unglamorous but absolutely essential services that quietly keeps entire industries running. Construction equipment, factories, trucking fleets, and farms all grind to a halt if a hydraulic hose blows, and these hoses always fail from pressure, heat, or abrasion (sometimes multiple times a year). This company not only runs a storefront but also operates four fully equipped mobile vans that provide 24/7 on-site emergency service, the kind of high-margin, “need it now” work that locks in customer loyalty. On top of that, they come with $825K in real estate, $500K in vans and major equipment, and $250K in inventory. Their north Georgia location is a strong market, fueled by construction and agriculture that rely on hydraulics every day. Since it’s a franchise, the franchise agreement will be a key piece to dig into (what support is provided, what restrictions exist, and how the costs stack up). I’d also want to see their repeat vs. one-time customer breakdown, how often accounts replace hoses annually, the revenue and margin split between storefront and vans, and van utilization rates. Bottom line: hydraulic hoses are mission-critical consumables that fail constantly, and if this business has built a reputation for reliability, it’s going to have sticky customers and recurring demand baked in.

2/ Assisted Living Facility

📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $10,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $2,948,844
📊 Revenue: $5,958,900
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: It’s hard to find an industry with stronger demographic tailwinds than assisted living, with over 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day. This assisted living and memory care facility operates 11 residential homes and an activity/office building on nearly 5 acres in Dallas County, TX. They are known for their wide range of amenities, including 24-hour care, medication management, full housekeeping, and an on-site beauty salon, and were recognized in 2024 as a top local workplace. While the $10M asking price may seem steep at first glance, it includes $6.1M in real estate and $560K in FF&E. I’d want to see a detailed valuation report on the real estate and facilities, covering the condition of each residence and the level of ongoing maintenance. I’d also want a clear picture of occupancy rates, the payer mix (% private pay vs. Medicaid/Medicare vs. long-term care insurance, with private pay yielding higher margins and public programs bringing slower pay and lower rates), key referral partners (hospitals, home health agencies, community centers), staffing turnover, and whether there is potential to expand licensed bed capacity. Ultimately, this is a fragmented market with meaningful consolidation opportunities for an operator who can run professionally and scale.

3/ Granite Fabrication Business

📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $3,200,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,025,236
📊 Revenue: $3,209,506
📅 Established: 1997

💭 My 2 Cents: While granite fabrication businesses are tied to construction and real estate cycles, Texas remains one of the strongest markets nationwide, leading in new housing starts, commercial development, and population growth, all of which drive demand for granite countertops. This granite fabrication company has been serving high-end residential and commercial clients for over 25 years, with a proven track record, strong reputation, and long-standing builder and developer relationships. I like that they do high-end custom work, which is more resilient than commodity countertops since affluent customers are less price-sensitive. Plus, with a 3,000 sq. ft. fabrication facility and $500K+ in well-maintained machinery, they have the infrastructure to support increased volume. I’d want to examine their revenue mix between residential and commercial projects and compare profitability across both segments, assess any client concentration risk, and review turnover among key fabricators and installers. Multiple SBA lenders have already pre-approved financing, which should help streamline the acquisition process.

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 😳

SMB Diligence is the platform I helped start for matching business buyers with vetted diligence providers, from M&A lawyers to Quality of Earnings providers.

Their network of experts has worked on hundreds of small business transactions (including many from the SMB Deal Hunter community).

4/ Commercial Electrical Contractor

📍 Location: Georgia
💰 Asking Price: $8,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,600,000
📊 Revenue: $24,000,000
📅 Established: 1980

💭 My 2 Cents: This established Atlanta-based electrical contractor has focused on commercial, industrial, and institutional clients across the Southeast for 45 years, a region that continues to see sustained growth. A key differentiator is their woman-owned status, which provides access to FBE/WBE procurement channels and diversity-focused contracting programs. For a buyer, maintaining eligibility for these designations will be critical to continuing to serve a significant portion of their client base. I’d want more detail on their $20M contracted backlog, including average project size, timing of revenue recognition, and the mix of contract types, as well as turnover rates among their 52-employee staff and clarity on who holds the Master Electrician License within the company. Notably, the business also has a CEO who is interested in staying on post-sale, signaling operational depth beyond the owner and supporting a smoother transition.

5/ Sewer & Waterway Contractor

📍 Location: New York
💰 Asking Price: $2,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $685,192
📊 Revenue: $5,140,113
📅 Established: 2017

💭 My 2 Cents: Much of New York’s water/sewer infrastructure is 50–100+ years old, and municipalities are under pressure to replace it. This heavy civil contractor, based in New York and specializing in water, sewer, and drainage projects, caters to municipal/government clients across the Hudson Valley through Westchester. They have a backlog exceeding $5M and come with $1.2M in included hard assets and $1.2M in accounts receivable. They operate with a core team of 12 and utilize union-affiliated staff for field labor, which allows them to scale efficiently up or down as projects demand. I’d want to understand how entrenched they are with local municipalities, their bid win rates, upcoming RFP pipeline, and the depth of relationships with engineers and project managers who award contracts. I’d also need to know how long payments actually take to collect (municipalities are reliable but often slow) and, given the union labor, what current collective bargaining agreements, escalation clauses, and pension/benefit liabilities are in place. This opportunity should appeal to a buyer with construction experience or interest, and it’s made more attractive by the seller offering 15% financing and up to a year of transition support.
