1/ Virtual Bookkeeping & Accounting Firm

📍 Location: Arizona (Remote)
💰 Asking Price: $2,950,000
💼 EBITDA: $709,000
📊 Revenue: $1,420,000
📅 Established: 2001

💭 My 2 Cents: A 50% EBITDA margin in professional services is hard to come by, and this virtual bookkeeping firm has figured out how to achieve it by keeping the operation lean, remote, and focused. The business handles bookkeeping, payroll, and book cleanup for small business clients, deliberately outsourcing tax work to a contracted CPA firm to avoid seasonal revenue swings. That decision alone is smart because it creates predictable monthly recurring revenue without the feast-or-famine cycle that plagues most accounting practices. The 100% remote model means no office lease, and the owner works just 20-30 hours per week on oversight and sales while an Accounting Manager runs core operations. For a CPA or accounting professional, the obvious value-add is bringing tax services in-house to capture more wallet share from existing clients, and there's also an opportunity to deploy AI tools for transaction categorization and reconciliation that could meaningfully expand capacity without adding headcount. I'd want to understand the average client tenure, what percentage of revenue comes from the top 10 clients, and whether the Accounting Manager is committed to staying post-sale. Move quickly if you’re interested, as this is exactly the type of predictable, high-margin, business that tends to attract competitive bids.

2/ Managed IT Service Provider  

📍 Location: Utah
💰 Asking Price: $2,100,000
💼 EBITDA: $515,000
📊 Revenue: $750,000
📅 Established: 2014

💭 My 2 Cents: MSPs have become one of the most sought-after acquisition targets in tech services, but this one stands out by leading with cybersecurity and focusing on regulated verticals like healthcare and financial services. That positioning matters because compliance requirements in these industries create stickier client relationships and higher switching costs than a typical break-fix IT shop. The business has around 20 active clients with three anchor accounts driving contractually recurring revenue, and it operates on an enterprise-grade vendor stack including Datto, Sophos, and Microsoft 365. The 69% EBITDA margin is exceptional for an MSP and tells me the operation is running efficiently with minimal overhead. The owner is retiring and motivated to support an SBA-friendly close, which should make financing straightforward. That said, I'd want to understand the concentration risk in those three anchor accounts, the average contract term and renewal rates, and whether the technical staff would stay through a transition. For someone with an IT services background or a strategic buyer already in the MSP space, the cybersecurity specialization and regulated client base could be worth more than the standalone financials suggest.

3/ Healthcare Advertising Agency

📍 Location: South Florida
💰 Asking Price: $1,095,000
💼 EBITDA: $474,381
📊 Revenue: $1,157,093
📅 Established: 37 years ago

💭 My 2 Cents: Thirty-seven years serving hospitals and medical organizations has given this advertising agency something money can't buy: trust and institutional knowledge in a risk-averse industry. The business specializes in branding, signage, and printing for healthcare clients, including everything from building logos to ADA-compliant directional signs. Healthcare marketing is notoriously relationship-driven and slow to change vendors, which explains the strong repeat business and long client tenures. The operation is lean and profitable, with a key sub-contractor managing day-to-day operations in the owner's absence. At 2.3x EBITDA, the asking price is also surprisingly attractive for an absentee-run business with this margin profile and client stickiness. I'd want to understand how much of the client base is tied to the owner's personal relationships versus the agency's reputation, assess whether the signage and printing services are vulnerable to commoditization, and determine if the healthcare niche could expand to adjacent segments like senior living or medical offices. The real value here is the three decades of vendor approvals and compliance history that hospitals require before working with anyone on their premises.

4/ Fire Protection Services Company

📍 Location: South Florida
💰 Asking Price: $3,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $850,000
📊 Revenue: $5,000,000
📅 Established: 1965

💭 My 2 Cents: Sixty-one years in business tells you everything about the durability of this fire protection company. Fire sprinkler systems, alarms, and special hazard systems are mandated by building codes and require regular inspections, which creates a recurring revenue stream that's essentially guaranteed by regulation. The company serves commercial, industrial, and residential clients with a full-service offering that includes design, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and 24/7 emergency response. With 27 employees split between office staff and field technicians, the operation has meaningful scale and infrastructure. That said, the union contract is worth noting since it provides labor predictability but also limits flexibility on wages and work rules. What makes this interesting is the combination of mandated recurring revenue from inspections and project-based work from new construction and retrofits. I'd want to understand what percentage of revenue comes from recurring inspection and maintenance contracts versus project work, assess the geographic concentration and whether the license covers statewide expansion, and review the union contract terms and expiration. On the plus side, the seller's willingness to offer financing and an extended transition period reduces execution risk for buyers unfamiliar with the fire protection trade.

5/ Electrical Contractor

📍 Location: Colorado
💰 Asking Price: $10,302,000
💼 EBITDA: $2,650,668
📊 Revenue: $9,044,864
📅 Established: 1993

💭 My 2 Cents: Luxury residential electrical work in Colorado is a different game than typical residential contracting, and this company has spent 29 years building the relationships and reputation to dominate it. 70% of revenue comes from new construction and ground-up remodels on high-end homes where cost sensitivity is low and quality expectations are high. The business has relationships with over 20 general contractors who don't even bother bidding projects out because they trust this company to deliver. That kind of entrenched positioning is rare in the trades and creates a meaningful competitive moat. The owner has already transitioned day-to-day operations to a VP and project manager, which should ease the handoff. At 3.9x, the multiple is in line with market for a business of this scale and profitability, but the deal structure requires 95% cash at closing with a strong balance sheet, which limits the buyer pool. I'd want to understand whether the contractor relationships are transferable or tied to the owner personally, assess the pipeline visibility given the long lead times on luxury construction, and verify the licensed electrician staffing situation given how tight the labor market is. The deal structure is demanding, but the $750K in working capital included helps offset the upfront cash requirement and provides cushion for a capital-intensive trade business.
