1/ Dance Competition Business

📍 Location: Florida
💼 EBITDA: $750,000
📊 Revenue: $4,000,000
📅 Established: 2012

💭 My 2 Cents: Competitive dance is a surprisingly large and deeply committed ecosystem. Studios treat these events as anchors of their annual calendar, parents budget for them the way travel sports families budget for tournaments, and a competition that has earned a strong reputation becomes the kind of thing studios register for the moment registration opens. The fact that both competitions sell out within days tells you the brand has real standing in that community, and that kind of loyalty takes years to build and is genuinely hard to replicate. The January through June season likely means entry fees are collected well in advance of the events themselves, which is a working capital advantage worth confirming. I'd want to dig into year-over-year registration trends across both competitions, how much of the part-time workforce returns each season, and what the venue contract structure looks like since securing quality event spaces is a real operational dependency. The owners overseeing event planning themselves is the transition risk to watch, but for a buyer with event operations experience, the brand equity here is the kind of thing that takes a decade to build from scratch.

2/ Roofing Restoration and Replacement Business

📍 Location: Northern California
💼 EBITDA: $700,000
📊 Revenue: $3,500,000
📅 Established: 2005

💭 My 2 Cents: Roofing is one of those trades where the barrier to entry is a truck and a crew, but the barrier to staying is showing up on time, doing the work correctly the first time, and being reachable when a customer's ceiling is leaking. This operator has been doing exactly that in Northern California for 20 years. With $700K in EBITDA on $3.5M in revenue, the 20% margin is solid for a roofing contractor, and though they’re only currently operating in the Bay Area, the fact that they ran profitable nationwide projects a few years ago tells me the operational capability is there if a new owner wants to pursue that again. Right now the owner is still handling estimating alongside one employee, which creates a real capacity ceiling. There are only so many bids you can get out the door, and bid volume is directly correlated with revenue. I'd want to understand the revenue mix between restoration and full replacement, how the newer paid lead channel is performing relative to word-of-mouth, and what the warranty and callback rate looks like. A buyer who can take over the estimating function or bring in a dedicated salesperson could meaningfully grow the top line without changing much else.

3/ Automotive Tire and Repair Service Business

📍 Location: Texas
💼 EBITDA: $600,000
📊 Revenue: $1,900,000
📅 Established: 2001

💭 My 2 Cents: A 31% EBITDA margin at an independent tire and auto repair shop is genuinely impressive, and it tells me this business has something most competitors don't: a deeply loyal customer base built over 25 years with virtually no traditional marketing spend. The owner has been serving as the local sheriff for the past five years while his wife and son run daily operations supported by 10 to 12 employees, several of whom have been with the company for over two decades. What makes this even more interesting is the macro tailwind: the area is attracting new residents driven by data center, wind farm, and solar farm development, meaning the existing customer base could grow organically just by staying put. The key question I'd want answered is how tied the loyal customer relationships are to the family name versus the shop itself, even with the wife and son willing to stay on post-close. I'd also want to understand the shop's capacity utilization, the mix between tire sales and repair labor revenue, and the condition and age of the lifts and alignment equipment. If the son is already helping run daily operations, the more interesting question is why he isn't the one buying it.
