Here’s what one SMB Deal Hunter Pro member shared this past week:

👀 Joel didn't do this alone.
We found Joel this deal off-market. Our advisors worked with him 1:1 to spot red flags, structure the terms, and secure financing. Next, we’ll set him up with pre-vetted diligence partners and support him through negotiations until close.

1/ VR Training SaaS for Businesses & Educational Institutions
📍 Location: Remote
💰 Asking Price: $2,100,000
💼 EBITDA: $608,000
📊 Revenue: $933,000
📅 Established: ~2017
💭 My 2 Cents: When a state government signs a contract to deploy your training platform, they are not switching vendors next year. That’s because once an institution has deployed the gear and trained staff on the platform, the switching cost is real: new procurement cycles, retraining, and budget exposure nobody wants. This business runs on a proprietary hardware-SaaS model with state-level contracts already in place and a 65% net margin with zero marketing spend, which tells me the product is getting in doors on its own. I'd want to understand the geographic spread of those state contracts, how the hardware component factors into ongoing support costs, and how the platform keeps pace with fast-moving VR technology cycles, since hardware generations can compress a product's relevance faster than software. For a buyer with a background in enterprise or ed-tech sales, the real upside is simple: the product works, it has proof points, and almost nobody knows it exists yet.
2/ Hybrid Email Marketing SaaS / Agency
📍 Location: Remote
💰 Asking Price: $2,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $738,000
📊 Revenue: $907,000
📅 Established: ~2021
💭 My 2 Cents: Retainer-based email marketing is one of the most attractive business models in the agency world, and this one is executing it nearly perfectly. What makes it particularly interesting is that it operates like a productized service: a defined scope, repeatable delivery, and predictable monthly revenue without the custom-project chaos that plagues most agencies. Impressively, they’re running at ~78% net margins with $592K in ARR and 100% year-over-year growth with zero marketing spend. I also like their hybrid SaaS-agency structure (which means delivery scales without proportional headcount), as well as their eCommerce client base (these brands can directly attribute revenue to email performance). The obvious unlock is that no outbound sales motion exists yet, so a buyer who can build one is essentially getting the growth channel for free. That said, I'd want to understand if growth is concentrated in a few accounts, how contracts are structured around cancellation, average client lifetime value, and what's actually fueling the 100% growth rate. The expansion play is also interesting: adding SMS or direct mail would let the business own the full lifecycle rather than just email, making it meaningfully harder to replace.
3/ Commercial Kitchen Equipment Sales & Service
📍 Location: Missouri
💰 Asking Price: $1,600,000
💼 EBITDA: $609,714
📊 Revenue: $6,069,505
📅 Established: N/A
💭 My 2 Cents: A restaurant's walk-in cooler going down on a Friday night is not a problem that waits until Monday, and the company that shows up reliably year after year is the one that gets the call. This business has built that position across a five-county Midwest territory with 14 long-tenured employees and a client base spanning restaurants, healthcare facilities, and hospitality accounts. Net income grew in 2025 over 2024, which tells me the business isn't just steady, it's improving. The 10% net margin on $6M in revenue looks thin on paper, but that's weighted by the distribution side, and service and maintenance work typically carries margins two to three times higher. The real question is what percentage of revenue is recurring service versus one-time equipment sales. I'd also want to understand the scope of any existing maintenance agreements and whether there's room to expand service contract coverage into the outer counties. Two banks already gave pre-approval on the deal, and at 2.6x EBITDA, a buyer who leans into the service side of the model has a clear path to expanding margins without touching top-line revenue.
MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
John Marcus was a product manager in media and advertising.
He would drive around New York City every weekend for about a year looking at laundromats and car washes, and finally found one he thought was perfect.
Except, he ended up walking away from the closing table on Christmas Eve (and we’ll get to why…)
But then, he decided to join SMB Deal Hunter Pro, our business buying accelerator where we help you find, finance, and acquire a business in 6-12 months…or work with you for free until you do.
12 months later, he closed on an $8.1M remotely operated B2B e-commerce services company with $2M in SDE.
John Marcus leaned on us to navigate an raise equity from 6 investors, build an offer with 2 seller notes, and secure a $5M SBA loan.
In the first two months post-close, revenue set records for the prior 24 months.
4/ Wine, Beer & Spirits Import and Distribution Company
📍 Location: South Florida
💰 Asking Price: $2,650,000
💼 EBITDA: $580,200
📊 Revenue: $2,898,500
📅 Established: 2008
💭 My 2 Cents: In most industries, a well-funded competitor can replicate your business in 18 months. In licensed alcohol distribution, they're looking at years of regulatory groundwork, supplier cultivation, and account trust-building before they're even competitive. This operation imports and distributes wine, beer, and spirits across Florida, North Carolina, and the Bahamas, with 250-plus clients including restaurants, retail chains, and regional distributors, all served by a seven-person sales team that already knows the accounts. Wine makes up 95% of the product mix, which keeps the operation focused and the SKU complexity manageable. Revenue has grown consistently from $2.74M in 2022 to $3.12M in 2024, and the owner is offering a six-month transition and seller financing. I'd want to understand the gross margin split between import and distribution revenue, contract terms with the top restaurant and chain accounts, and whether the sales team has non-competes and what it would take to retain them post-close. The sales team is both the asset and the risk here, because in distribution, the client relationships often live with the rep, not the brand.
5/ Salesforce-Native GovTech SaaS
📍 Location: Remote
💰 Asking Price: $2,000,000
💼 EBITDA: $729,000
📊 Revenue: $1,500,000
📅 Established: ~2021
💭 My 2 Cents: A government agency that has embedded your software into their Salesforce environment isn't going anywhere. They'd have to pull the integration, retrain staff, get budget approval, and run a new procurement cycle all over again, which is why near-zero churn in GovTech isn't a boast, it's just how the model works. This platform is built natively inside Salesforce with recurring annual government renewals already in place, stacking two layers of stickiness on top of each other. A 49% net margin on $1.5M in revenue with minimal overhead tells me this is a clean, low-touch operation. I'd want to understand whether existing contracts renew at the agency level or go back through full procurement each cycle, how concentrated the client base is, and how the consulting team is structured and whether senior consultants are on salary or contract. The hardest thing in GovTech is getting the first contract signed, and whoever built this already did that part.

RECENT PODCAST EPISODE
You don't need half a million dollars to buy your first business.
Mitchell Sorkin proved that with $36,000 and a question nobody expected to work.
He was running a VC-backed company and hated it. Raising money, burning it, scrambling to raise more. He wanted something cashflow positive from day one.
So he and his brother started searching.
Today, Mitchell owns 800+ ATM machines with a team of five. He spends about 10-15% of his time on the business.
And for our audio-only listeners, jump in and listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
THAT’S A WRAP
See you tomorrow!
