1/ Resort Property Maintenance Company

📍 Location: South Carolina
💰 Asking Price: $3,650,000
💼 EBITDA: $1,000,000
📊 Revenue: $3,400,000
📅 Established: ~2005

💭 My 2 Cents: Auto-renewing contracts with resort facilities and commercial properties are about as close to annuity revenue as a maintenance business can get, and this company has spent 21 years building a portfolio of exactly that in one of the busiest hospitality markets on the East Coast. They operate as a single-source provider across parking lot maintenance, landscaping, and janitorial services, which means clients are dealing with one vendor instead of three, and switching costs are real. The bundled model also creates natural upsell opportunities every time a client adds a service line and compresses overhead. I'd want to understand the average contract length and renewal terms, what % of revenue the top 5 clients represent, and how the business has managed labor availability given how tight service staffing has been in resort markets. Ultimately, replicating this book of business from scratch would take a new entrant years and significant underbidding, which is exactly why acquisition is the right entry strategy.

2/ Concrete Restoration and Protective Coatings Contractor

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $1,100,000
💼 EBITDA: $447,201
📊 Revenue: $840,269
📅 Established: ~2011

💭 My 2 Cents: Florida's salt air, aging concrete, and year-round humidity mean restoration work is a maintenance reality that never goes away for commercial property owners. This company handles structural repair, crack remediation, waterproofing, surface restoration, and protective coatings across commercial, industrial, and residential clients. Their 53% EBITDA margin is unusually high for a construction trade and tells me the crew earns on expertise, not on undercutting competitors. Growth has been referral-only, which means there’s an opportunity for a buyer to build up a sales and marketing function (but that margins would also need to compress in order to scale up). I'd want to know what share of revenue is commercial versus residential, whether the referral base runs through the owner personally or is spread across the team, and if the business holds any specialty coatings certifications that would take a competitor years to replicate. At 2.5x, the business is priced very reasonably for a specialty contractor.

3/ Scaffolding and Shoring Company

📍 Location: Florida
💰 Asking Price: $1,900,000
💼 EBITDA: $884,596
📊 Revenue: $2,604,259
📅 Established: 1962

💭 My 2 Cents: A scaffolding company that has operated in the same market since 1962 is not something you come across often. The crew carries 75+ years of accumulated industry experience between them, and the business handles engineering, site inspections, erection, dismantling, delivery, and pickup for commercial construction projects without needing a sales team to keep the pipeline full. What makes it more interesting than a straight contracting play is the equipment rental and direct manufacturer sales division, which means revenue comes in from multiple streams, not just active project work. I'd want to understand the split between project work and the rental side, the client mix across construction verticals, and how the pipeline backlog looks over the next 12 months. What’s interesting is the seller is offering real estate (3 buildings on 2.18 acres) for purchase separately for $1.34M, which may lower total debt service and improves cash flow coverage from day one if a buyer pursues SBA 7(a) financing.

4/ Digital Marketing Agency

📍 Location: Remote
💰 Asking Price: $3,400,000
💼 EBITDA: $850,000
📊 Revenue: $2,300,000
📅 Established: ~2005

💭 My 2 Cents: 85% recurring revenue in a digital marketing agency is a number most agencies chase for years and never hit. But what makes this one worth a closer look is the context: the seller built this over 21 years and is retiring, which removes the biggest risk in agency acquisitions. Most digital agency founders are younger, which means the exit motivation is usually burnout, a pivot, or a better offer, all of which raise questions about what they're leaving behind. A retirement after two decades is a cleaner story. This company designs and develops eCommerce websites, manages paid media and content creation, and also runs cold email and LinkedIn outreach. The service mix is broad enough that no single channel shift wipes out revenue, but I'd want to understand how the weighting has evolved as paid search costs have climbed and SEO has gotten more competitive. I'd also want to see annual client churn, average retainer tenure, how the agreements are structured (monthly vs. annual commitments), and whether the client base skews toward any single industry that could introduce cyclicality. What’s really interesting with agencies is the room for margin improvement through tooling (particularly on the content and outbound side) where AI can compress a lot of the existing workflow.

5/ Industrial Automation and Engineering Services Firm

📍 Location: Ohio
💰 Asking Price: $2,780,000
💼 EBITDA: $694,617
📊 Revenue: $2,339,679
📅 Established: 1966

💭 My 2 Cents: Sixty years ago this was an electrical contractor. Today it's a PLC/SCADA integration and operational technology firm (the people who program and maintain the control systems that run industrial facilities) serving water/wastewater, food and beverage, automotive, metals, and chemicals clients. That industrial base tends to use the same engineering partners for years because the institutional knowledge about their specific systems makes switching costly. A 24-hour response service department keeps them embedded in day-to-day client operations in a way that a pure project contractor can rarely match. I'd want to understand the split between recurring maintenance and service agreements versus new capital project work, whether the technical expertise is concentrated in a few key engineers, and what the real estate situation looks like given the building is owned in a separate entity and not included in the asking price. The industrial automation buildout happening across all of their client verticals right now means the next owner is walking into a demand environment driven by Industry 4.0 retrofits, EPA compliance automation, and reshoring capex that didn't exist five years ago.
