1/ Environmental Consulting Company

📍 Location: Missouri
💰 Asking Price: $2,500,000
💼 EBITDA: $730,415
📊 Revenue: $2,568,148
📅 Established: ~1978

💭 My 2 Cents: In consulting, the client list is the whole business, and this firm's is hard to argue with. Since 1978, they've served the U.S. Army, Army Corps of Engineers, Veterans Administration, and Department of Labor, alongside insurance companies and law firms, across 15 states. The 28% net margin is solid for a firm carrying technical staff, and the multi-region footprint tells me no single contract or geography is carrying the whole operation. I like that they’re subject matter experts across multiple areas, which in consulting means clients call you first rather than putting work out to bid. I'd want to understand how credentials and licenses are tied to the current owner personally, how government engagements renew, and what the buyer experience requirement actually means since the seller flags it as important. At 3.42x with real estate also available, this is attractively priced. The hardest thing to build in this field isn't the capability, it's the trust, and this firm has been compounding that for nearly 50 years.

2/ B2B Aerospace Manufacturing Company

📍 Location: Iowa
💰 Asking Price: $1,650,000
💼 EBITDA: $503,000
📊 Revenue: $1,265,000
📅 Established: ~1990

💭 My 2 Cents: Aerospace manufacturing has a business model most job shops would envy: once you're a certified supplier, the customer base is sticky by default because re-qualification is expensive and time-consuming for everyone involved. This Iowa company has spent 35-plus years as a certified, audited supplier to the aerospace industry. Management is in place and the owner is willing to stay on for an extended transition, which matters in precision manufacturing where process knowledge is the product. The 40% net margin tells me they compete on capability and certification, not price. Plus, I like that $250K in inventory is included in the asking price, which meaningfully offsets the entry cost. I'd want to understand customer concentration since the buyer base is described as mostly local, and how tied the quality certifications are to current personnel specifically. Worth noting: the seller prefers buyers with similar industry experience, so this is better suited to someone already in aerospace or precision manufacturing than a generalist. Ultimately, this deal is reasonably priced for a 35-year certified supplier with no marketing presence.

3/ Digital Marketing Agency

📍 Location: Remote
💰 Asking Price: $1,800,000
💼 EBITDA: $694,369
📊 Revenue: $1,132,098
📅 Established: 2012

💭 My 2 Cents: This agency has something most service businesses spend years chasing: 95% subscription revenue and an owner working 20 to 25 hours a week, all run by a fully remote team in the Philippines and India (which explains the 61% net margin). Their niche is app-based businesses, which is a smart place to specialize since App Store Optimization is technical enough that most generalist agencies can't credibly deliver it. I like that the business runs from anywhere, which opens the door to a wide range of buyers. That said, I'd want to understand average client tenure, whether subscriptions are month-to-month or longer commitments, and how new clients are sourced (since the seller says buyers should bring business development skills). The seller's exit story (stepping away to build proprietary apps) is coherent and consistent with someone who's genuinely optimized this business for independence rather than growth. That's either a green flag or a prompt to dig into why scale was never pursued.

4/ Premium Wholesale Meat Distributor

📍 Location: Pennsylvania
💰 Asking Price: $2,900,000
💼 EBITDA: $812,240
📊 Revenue: $1,760,500
📅 Established: ~2017

💭 My 2 Cents: A 46% EBITDA margin on a wholesale distribution business stops you mid-scroll, because distribution margins are typically razor-thin and this one is anything but. The company specializes in authentic specialty meats spanning multiple cultural and culinary traditions. That curated product portfolio is what keeps chefs and buyers coming back, because you can't replicate that selection by switching to a commodity distributor. They serve restaurants, retail stores, specialty markets, and foodservice operators across PA, NJ, NY, CT, MA, MD, and DE. Once you're on a chef's approved vendor list delivering consistent quality week over week, switching costs are real and quiet, and that's exactly what a margin like this reflects. I like that food is recession-resistant by definition and that the B2B base across seven states gives this real geographic diversity. That said, I'd want to understand how many primary suppliers the catalog depends on, whether the owner is the key relationship driver, and what the cold chain logistics infrastructure looks like (since that's a capital question the seller doesn't address). Nine years is shorter than I'd like, but you don't build margins like these without a positioning that takes years to replicate.

5/ Manufacturing QC Solutions Provider & Precision Machining Company

📍 Location: Illinois
💰 Asking Price: $2,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $452,000
📊 Revenue: $2,405,000
📅 Established: ~2009

💭 My 2 Cents: Quality control is one of the last things a manufacturer cuts when times get tight, which makes this Chicago-area firm's positioning more durable than it might look on paper. The business is a top-three national distributor for its primary OEM partner, with authorized agreements with two additional manufacturers. That kind of distribution standing takes over a decade to earn and tells me the manufacturer relationships here are deep, not transactional. They also layer in CNC machining, proprietary fixturing products, and consulting, training, programming, and repair services, making them the single call a manufacturer makes for QC needs. That one-stop model creates switching costs a straight equipment reseller simply doesn't have. I like that the proprietary fixturing line is something no competitor can replicate by signing a distribution agreement. However, I'd want to understand how the OEM agreements are structured around a change of ownership since that's the central risk in any authorized distributor deal, and what the revenue split looks like across equipment, machining, and services. All that said, this probably suits an existing manufacturing business or someone with direct QC familiarity.
