1/ Trailer Dealership

📍 Location: Nevada
💼 EBITDA: $570,000
📊 Revenue: $4,900,000
📅 Established: 2024

💭 My 2 Cents: Utility and cargo trailers are one of those products that touch every part of the economy, from contractors hauling equipment to ranchers moving livestock. Building a dealership from zero to the top-volume dealer for one of North America's largest trailer manufacturers in a single year is an attention-grabber, but that speed is also the thing that requires the most scrutiny. The business covers northern Nevada, northern California, Idaho, and Utah, with 80 to 85% of leads generated through internet channels, so the digital marketing engine is clearly producing. But with only one year of operating history and a lean team built mostly on contractors, there's very little to underwrite. I'd want to see month-over-month revenue trends to understand whether growth is accelerating or flattening, whether the dealer agreement and inventory access transfer under new ownership, and what happens to lead flow if the three marketing contractors leave. The most important question, though, is why the seller is exiting a one-year-old business growing this fast.

2/ Fiber Optic Construction Contractor

📍 Location: New York and Pennsylvania
💼 EBITDA: $1,300,000
📊 Revenue: $4,000,000
📅 Established: 1982

💭 My 2 Cents: Every few decades, a wave of infrastructure spending creates a window for the contractors who do the actual construction work, and right now, that window belongs to fiber optic. The federal government has committed over $42 billion through the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program, with peak construction spending expected in 2026 and 2027, which means qualified fiber contractors are about to be in very high demand. This company has been doing the work for over 40 years, with rate-based contracts that provide consistent, recurring revenue rather than one-off project work. The operation runs with about a dozen employees and three part-time owners looking to retire, which tells me the day-to-day work isn't dependent on any single person. Plus, the seller expects earnings to keep climbing through mid-2026 based on current activity levels. I'd want to understand how concentrated the contract base is across clients, what the bonding capacity looks like for taking on larger government-funded projects, and whether the existing workforce can scale fast enough to meet the coming surge in demand. A buyer who can retain the crew and position for federally funded broadband work could ride a generational infrastructure cycle.

3/ Pool and Spa Sales and Service Company

📍 Location: Vermont
💼 EBITDA: $700,000
📊 Revenue: $1,700,000
📅 Established: 2000

💭 My 2 Cents: Most pool businesses are either pure retail or pure service, so the ones that combine both under one roof tend to be stickier and more profitable. This operation has been doing exactly that for over 25 years, with $550,000 from service work alone, roughly 100 spa units sold per year, and a retail chemical and accessory store with warehouse space. That diversification creates multiple touchpoints with the same customer base, and the chemical and service side keeps them coming back on a regular cycle. That said, the seller runs operations, performs service work, and installs liners personally, so this is a full owner-operator model with no management layer underneath, and the seasonal staffing swing adds another complexity layer for a buyer to manage. I'd want to understand how much of the service revenue is tied to the owner's personal client relationships, whether a maintenance agreement model could be introduced to formalize recurring revenue, and what the seasonal cash flow gap looks like between November and April. A buyer without hands-on pool and spa experience should plan to hire an experienced service manager before closing, not after.

4/ Countertop Fabrication and Installation Shop

📍 Location: Georgia
💼 EBITDA: $500,000
📊 Revenue: $2,500,000
📅 Established: 2005

💭 My 2 Cents: In the trades, the best marketing is the work itself. Over two decades of growing on zero marketing spend tells me this fabricator has earned serious trust in its local market. All revenue comes through word of mouth and repeat customers, and the contracts with home builders and apartment complexes provide a steady base of project work that keeps the shop busy without a sales team chasing it. Plus, with roughly 100 color options in inventory, the shop has the product range to serve both residential remodel and new construction channels. I like that the owner oversees operations but doesn't handle sales, which means the customer relationships live with the team, not one person. The surrounding market is working in the business's favor, too. Coastal Georgia is seeing sustained housing demand driven by port expansion, aerospace employment, and population growth. I'd want to understand the revenue split between builder contracts and direct retail customers, how deep the current project backlog is, and whether the fabrication equipment is modern or approaching replacement age. A buyer who introduces even a basic outbound marketing effort could unlock volume this business has never tried to capture.

5/ Commercial Landscaping and Tree Trimming Company

📍 Location: South Florida
💼 EBITDA: $450,000
📊 Revenue: $1,500,000
📅 Established: 1988

💭 My 2 Cents: In South Florida, landscaping isn't seasonal work. The year-round growing climate means commercial properties need constant maintenance, which makes contract-based operators in this market especially valuable. This 38-year-old operation carries 1 to 3 year contracts and decades-long client relationships with property management companies. It has built its reputation in the South Florida commercial sector through referrals, which means the sales pipeline is relationship-driven and sticky by nature. The owner has stepped back to a semi-absentee role with a general manager handling daily operations, so the transition risk here is lower than most. That said, I'd want to understand how concentrated revenue is among the top property management relationships, what the contract renewal rate has looked like over the past five years, and whether the fleet is well-maintained or if there is deferred capex a buyer would be walking into. Private equity has been rolling up commercial landscaping companies across the Southeast at a rapid clip, so if you can grow this business, there’s a clear exit path.
