1/ Septic Service & Grease Recycling Business

📍 Location: New Jersey
💰 Asking Price: $10,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,500,000
📊 Revenue: $3,700,000
📅 Established: 2006

💭 My 2 Cents: The booming green waste and renewable fuels industries are being supercharged by tax credits and aggressive carbon reduction goals, and this New Jersey–based business is perfectly positioned at their intersection. It combines two highly synergistic divisions: septic system installation and servicing, and a recycling operation that converts collected grease into brown oil. I love that they face almost no competition, with just one other grease recycler in the region, and that they can capture value twice: once from clients who pay for grease collection, and again from those who buy the processed brown oil for food processing and biofuel production. I also like how they run a program that qualifies them for state and local government contracts, ensuring a steady stream of work. I'd want to understand the revenue breakdown between the two sides of the business, the standard terms of their recurring contracts (service contracts for grease traps and septic systems typically renew annually or quarterly), and the historical pricing and volatility of brown oil tied to biodiesel markets. While this is a great niche business with strong margins and attractive exit potential to larger ESG and energy players, the valuation multiple isn’t low, so I’d want to confirm that the recurring revenue base truly justifies the price.

2/ Industrial Electrical Contractor

📍 Location: Michigan
💰 Asking Price: $1,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $554,349
📊 Revenue: $6,000,000
📅 Established: 1957

💭 My 2 Cents: U.S. manufacturing, semiconductor, data center, and clean-energy investments driven by the CHIPS Act and IRA are creating huge demand for industrial electrical contractors. This company fits right into that trend as a founder-owned electrical contracting firm that’s been around since 1957, serving a diverse mix of industrial, commercial, and institutional clients across the Midwest. The business has been fully managed by an experienced leadership team for years, as the owner is already retired, and key personnel plan to stay on to ensure a smooth transition. That’s no small advantage, given how scarce skilled labor has become in the trades. I also like their hard-earned reputation for reliability and safety, plus the $1.1M in FF&E and nearly $200K in inventory included in the sale. I’d want to get a clear sense of the revenue mix across client types, the current backlog and pipeline, how many service or recurring maintenance contracts they have, and how working capital is managed on large projects, particularly around progress billing, retainage, and cash collection timing. With data center electricity demand expected to triple by 2030, this looks like a steady cash-flow producer with strong upside potential.

3/ Asphalt Milling Business

📍 Location: Iowa
💰 Asking Price: $7,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,517,274
📊 Revenue: $2,111,719
📅 Established: 2006

💭 My 2 Cents: Federal and state infrastructure bills (particularly the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) are injecting billions into road repair and resurfacing projects across the Midwest, and asphalt milling is a critical first step in nearly every resurfacing or maintenance job. This established asphalt milling company has built a strong reputation across the Midwest for quality, reliability, and lasting client relationships over nearly two decades. What immediately caught my eye is their exceptionally high EBITDA margin for the construction sector, which points to strong operational efficiency and pricing power. I also like their $2.2M in specialized equipment and machinery, with these hard assets both supporting financing options and creating a barrier to entry for competitors. I’d want to dig into their average contract size and duration, revenue split between public and private clients, committed projects and recurring municipal or DOT relationships, bid volume and win rate trends over the past three years, working capital cycles (especially how they manage winter months), and the age and replacement schedule of their fleet. Overall, this looks like a steady business that’s built for someone excited to scale and capture the growing demand.

4/ Multi-Location Tutoring Business

📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $3,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $969,525
📊 Revenue: $2,573,184
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: The U.S. tutoring market is booming, especially in Texas with its high academic competition and affluent suburban communities that prioritize education spending. What I like about the tutoring model is that it generally runs on recurring monthly billing and multi-session packages, which create predictable, annuity-like cash flow. This listing includes two franchise learning centers in Texas with over 20 years of experience, serving students from kindergarten through high school. Both are located in high-traffic, family-oriented areas, each benefiting from minimal direct competition, a loyal client base, and strong franchisor support that includes a national digital marketing campaign. Each center operates on a semi-virtual model, with many administrative and consultation functions handled online, keeping overhead low and improving management flexibility. While the franchisor appears to be a valuable partner, it’ll be important to review royalty rates, marketing fees, renewal terms, and territory protections. I’d also want to understand student churn, average length of enrollment, referral rates, seasonality, tuition pricing, and instructor utilization. With one center already fully staff-run, proving the model’s sustainability, this could be a compelling semi-absentee or eventually even fully-absentee ownership opportunity.

5/ Entertainment Logistics Company

📍 Location: New Jersey
💰 Asking Price: $4,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $2,087,655
📊 Revenue: $10,189,670
📅 Established: 2014

💭 My 2 Cents: This highly specialized trucking and logistics company provides white-glove transportation services for A-list clients in the entertainment and touring industries. What’s really unique about their model is that drivers use their own vehicles, keeping capex and overhead low while allowing the company to scale up or down seamlessly with demand. I love their strong margins for a logistics business, which isn’t surprising given that high-profile clients value reliability, confidentiality, and timing over price. The timing for this segment is also particularly strong, as artists and event producers are back in full swing and logistics providers that survived 2020–2021 are now thriving amid pent-up demand. On top of that, rising spend per tour has driven up both the sophistication and budgets of major productions like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and U2, creating a tailwind for experienced operators who can handle complex, high-touch tours. I’d want to better understand their revenue breakdown by client type (concerts vs. sports vs. film productions vs. live events), whether they have multi-tour or multi-city contracts in place, how seasonality affects operations, and how many drivers are active vs. on standby in their network. The business is being offered at a very attractive multiple, and there’s a solid transition plan in place, with the owner willing to stay on for up to three years to ensure a smooth handoff, while his son, who manages entertainment-sector relationships, is also available to remain with the company as needed.
