1/ Commercial Fountain Design & Maintenance Company

📍 Location: Southern California
💰 Asking Price: $3,700,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,367,484
📊 Revenue: $2,160,866
📅 Established: 1989

💭 My 2 Cents: This 35-year-old Southern California company designs, repairs, and maintains commercial fountains and water features, a niche that naturally benefits from the region’s year-round climate. With no real off-season, maintenance work stays steady all twelve months, giving it a level of consistency most service businesses can’t match. The company has over 100 recurring maintenance accounts and $757K in equipment included, providing both predictable cash flow and meaningful asset backing. What makes it even more appealing is its diversified client base, which spans large property management firms, commercial sites, and high-end residential customers. That balance helps smooth out demand and keeps the pipeline full across different market segments. The margins are impressive too, which suggests a lean, well-run operation built on long-term relationships rather than one-off projects, but could also indicate underreported owner labor. I’d want to dig into how much of the revenue comes from recurring maintenance versus project-based work and how dependent operations are on the owner’s technical expertise and relationships. Most businesses like this rely almost entirely on word-of-mouth and referrals, which means there’s significant upside for a buyer who invests in digital marketing, SEO, and direct outreach to property managers and developers.

2/ Auto Repair Shop with Real Estate

📍 Location: Massachusetts
💰 Asking Price: $3,200,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,013,352
📊 Revenue: $4,130,385
📅 Established: 1948

💭 My 2 Cents: This family-run auto repair shop has built an enduring reputation for precision craftsmanship and stellar customer service. I’m really taken with their proven track record over many decades (!), while their location in an affluent area means their clientele should prioritize reliability and service over price. The business is being valued at $3.2M, while their fully equipped facility is listed for $3M. Importantly, the seller will only consider offers that include the facility. Given their strong cash flow and the extended amortization terms available for real estate purchases, the math could work out for a new owner to cover both purchases with the business's earnings. I’d need to look into the breakdown of labor vs. parts revenue, if they have any fleet contracts in place, if they have any key insurance partnerships or DRP (Direct Repair Program) relationships in place that drive referrals, how stable the technician team is (labor is often the biggest constraint in shops like this), and how much expansion their current staffing and facilities could support. Auto repair is one of the few truly recession-resistant service categories, and shops like this should remain resilient for the long haul.

3/ Site Development & Earthwork Business

📍 Location: Pennsylvania
💰 Asking Price: $3,700,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,284,403
📊 Revenue: $4,663,312
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: Site development and earthwork companies sit at the foundation (literally) of every construction project. Nothing gets built until the dirt is moved, utilities are in, and the site is prepped. This company caters to a mix of residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal clients across central Pennsylvania. Under current ownership since 2020, they have experienced impressive growth, averaging a 29% CAGR, with revenue rising from $1.9 million in 2021 to over $4.6 million in 2024. Their infrastructure-related contracts and municipal clients provide a partially recession-resistant revenue base, while the $3.3M in vehicles, equipment, and machinery in the sale represents a significant barrier to entry for competitors. I also like that because they have an early position in the construction value chain, they get paid first, operate on short project cycles, and are typically less exposed to project overruns or payment delays that hit subcontractors later in the process. I’d want to get a handle on their current work in progress, backlog, and pipeline, if there are a few developers or municipalities driving most of the word, and if gross margins are consistent across projects (a sign that they’‘re disciplined with bidding). The owner is not involved in day-to-day operations and, assuming the experienced leadership team remains in place, this could be an interesting opportunity for a buyer who wants to work on the business rather than in it.

4/ Aggregate Hauling & Materials Transport Company

📍 Location: New York
💰 Asking Price: $1,990,000
💼 EBITDA: $577,707
📊 Revenue: $2,328,920
📅 Established: 2008

💭 My 2 Cents: The aggregate hauling and materials transport industry sits at the center of every major construction and infrastructure project—it’s the literal backbone of how roads, bridges, and buildings get built. Demand is driven by long-term, government-backed spending rather than short-term consumer trends, which makes it one of the most durable corners of the industrial economy. This particular trucking company hauls sand, gravel, and stone for construction projects in the Albany area, as well as non-hazardous waste transport, wastewater facility deliveries, heavy equipment transport, and flatbed logistics for lumber and building materials. I like their diversified service mix and revenue streams, exposure to recession-resistant infrastructure projects, and large fleet of 15 commercial trucks and associated equipment valued at $900K. I’d want to know how much of the revenue is tied to government or utility contracts versus one-off private projects, which business lines are most profitable and least cyclical, whether relationships are long-term or bid-based, and the age, mileage, and replacement needs of the 15 trucks. Ultimately, this company should continue to benefit from recession-resistant demand from infrastructure and essential utilities.

5/ Stone Fabrication & Installation Business

📍 Location: Virginia
💰 Asking Price: $2,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $583,855
📊 Revenue: $2,201,836
📅 Established: 2001

💭 My 2 Cents: Homeowners and designers are favoring bespoke natural materials (limestone, marble, quartzite) over cookie-cutter finishes, creating demand for full-service stone companies like this one. This 25-year-old company sources domestic and exotic materials such as limestone and offer premium custom design, fabrication, and installation for architects, builders, interior designers, remodelers, and homeowners, with core offerings including countertops, fireplaces, slab showers, and stone furniture. Approximately 99% of their projects come through referrals, underscoring their long-standing client relationships and industry trust. Businesses like this can be very owner-dependent, so I’d need to be very comfortable with how a new owner can keep the same supplier relationships and high-quality craftsmanship. I’d also want to better understand their average project size and margin profile, whether there is any risk of client concentration with their top referral partners, how much working capital is typically required for material procurement, whether the $500K in existing inventory is readily sellable or includes slow-moving or outdated stone stock, and the tenure of the fabricators and installers (since they can be hard to find and retain). Given the company's reputation and asset base (including $250k of high-tech machinery), even modest investments in sales or automation could translate into substantial incremental profit.
