1/ Fence and Gate Supplier
📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $4,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $823,000
📊 Revenue: $5,569,600
📅 Established: 2014
💭 My 2 Cents: Fences and gates are often required by building codes or insurance policies, and this company provides them to both residential and commercial customers across South Florida. I’m especially drawn to their vertical integration (they manufacture and sell their own products) which enables stronger margins, greater quality control, and faster turnaround times. Plus, the business has an excellent reputation (4.8 stars from 174 reviews), operates out of a newly remodeled facility with a showroom (available for lease or separate purchase), and includes $300K in equipment and $200K in inventory in the asking price. I’d want to see a sales breakdown across residential vs. commercial, manufacturing vs. third-party distribution, and product-only vs. installation vs. full-service work. I’d also dig into the margin profile for their manufactured vs. distributed products, whether any exclusive distribution agreements are in place, and if installation services enhance or dilute profitability. On the growth side, I’d explore capacity constraints and what expansion into adjacent markets might look like. With the seller committed to a fully supported transition, this appears to be a strong opportunity in a growing region, especially within a fragmented industry ripe for consolidation.
2/ Auto Dealer Service Partner
📍 Location: California
💰 Asking Price: $11,089,000
💼 EBITDA: $2,685,484
📊 Revenue: $9,997,184
📅 Established: 2019
💭 My 2 Cents: This is a unique business I haven’t come across before that partners directly with auto dealerships to manage their loaner vehicle programs. Operating from within the service departments of dealerships, they handle the entire customer handoff process, manage fleet logistics, and ensure vehicle cleanliness to maximize uptime and customer satisfaction. I really like their low-competition, specialized niche, deeply embedded operating model with minimal overhead, and sticky client relationships in a high-friction stage of the customer journey: the service visit. They also generate a secondary revenue stream through towing and transport services. The operation appears readily scalable, and according to the sellers, the only thing preventing them from bringing on additional dealerships eager for their services is bandwidth, so a new, energetic owner could capitalize on existing demand to drive expansion. I’d want to dig into what percentage of revenue is recurring or secured through contracts with dealership partners, how many dealerships they currently serve, how many are in the pipeline, whether they are overly reliant on any single dealership group or OEM, what each contract contributes in revenue and profit, their contract renewal rate, the roles and responsibilities of their five employees, and whether they use subcontractors for cleaning or other services. Overall, this is a mission-critical, high-retention service that solves a significant pain point: dealers must provide seamless loaner experiences to retain service customers.
3/ Managed IT Services Provider
📍 Location: New York City
💰 Asking Price: $3,250,000
💼 EBITDA: $767,139
📊 Revenue: $1,764,009
📅 Established: 2003
💭 My 2 Cents: This MSP is a comprehensive, one-stop solution for companies and individuals in NYC needing everything from tech repairs to office IT support, in a market where IT reliability is mission-critical. They serve over 1,500 active accounts and boast an eye-catching 48% profit margin, indicating strong pricing power and operational efficiency. While 33% of their revenue is recurring, which is a bit low for an MSP, their 22-year track record and 77,000 clients provide a large, proven base for repeat and reactivation opportunities. I’d want to understand what percentage of recurring revenue is tied to long-term contracts versus month-to-month arrangements, average retention on those contracts, the split between B2B and B2C revenue, who their top clients are and what services they purchase, whether there’s room to upsell cybersecurity, cloud, VoIP, or more modern IT solutions to existing accounts, and who the key employees are, what roles they play, and what client or technical dependencies exist if they were to leave. With a strong foothold in a high-demand metro area, this MSP combines a reliable stream of recurring revenue with clear opportunities for growth and service expansion.
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.
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/ Excavation Business
📍 Location: Texas
💰 Asking Price: $3,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $873,028
📊 Revenue: $1,651,924
📅 Established: 2019
💭 My 2 Cents: In Texas, a state with massive ongoing residential, commercial, and infrastructure development, excavation services are in constant demand. Founded in 2019, this company has already demonstrated strong product-market fit and operational capability, doubling revenue over the past three years. They operate with an extremely lean structure that drives exceptional profitability, with margins exceeding 50%. Over $2M in FF&E is included in the sale, creating meaningful barriers to entry for competitors. I’d want to dig into what types of excavation work (residential, commercial, utility, etc.) drive their revenue, whether growth is coming from a broad customer base or a few large projects, the size and visibility of their current backlog and pipeline, whether any long-term contracts are in place, their bid win rate, trends in margin improvement as they scale, equipment and labor utilization, and the condition and projected lifespan of their machinery. The seller is willing to fully train a new owner or GM for up to a year, which signals a strong commitment to a smooth transition. A growth-minded buyer could also expand into complementary services like demolition, grading, land clearing, or hauling to build a full-service site prep platform.
5/ Concrete Business
📍 Location: Iowa
💰 Asking Price: $3,250,000
💼 EBITDA: $864,508
📊 Revenue: $1,435,451
📅 Established: 1986
💭 My 2 Cents: While concrete businesses are often tied to construction cycles and weather, this one is partially insulated thanks to its strong sales to government agencies, which typically involve more stable, long-term contracts. They operate across multiple locations, providing additional diversification and geographic reach. I like the straightforward nature of the business, its solid margins, and the extensive equipment package included in the sale, valued at $570K. With a history spanning decades, this is the type of company that’s deeply embedded in the community and has long-standing relationships with repeat clients. Thanks to their excellent reputation and track record, they haven’t needed to spend on advertising in over four years. I’d want to learn more about their government contracts, including typical contract terms, their share of total revenue, and whether there’s any revenue concentration among top clients. I’d also want to see the split between contractor and government sales. Given the capital-intensive nature of the business, I’d evaluate the condition and remaining useful life of trucks and batching equipment, along with any expected capex over the next two to three years. The seller is willing to stay actively involved to ensure a smooth transition, including the critical handoff of key client relationships to the new owner.
