1/ Aircraft Upholstery Business

📍 Location: Colorado
💼 EBITDA: $430,000
📊 Revenue: $1,750,000
📅 Established: 1991

💭 My 2 Cents: Aircraft upholstery sits in a weird pocket of the aviation world where regulation meets craftsmanship, and few shops have the FAA certifications and specialized skills to do it right. This business has spent over three decades refurbishing aircraft interiors for both private owners and commercial operators near one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country. Their 25% EBITDA margin is respectable for a labor-intensive trade business, and their $100K in specialized equipment provides some tangible asset backing while also highlighting the capital requirements and technical barriers that keep competition limited. With 5 employees and the 77-year-old owner still handling customer service and sales, the big transition risk here is whether those client relationships and technical expertise transfer cleanly to a new buyer. I'd want to understand the project pipeline and average ticket size, the mix between repair work and full interior refurbishments, and whether the team includes FAA-certified technicians or if certifications are tied to the owner. Colorado's growing population of high-net-worth aircraft owners should provide steady demand, but this is ultimately a relationship and reputation business in a specialized niche where word travels fast.

2/ Foot Insole Distribution Business

📍 Location: Remote
💼 EBITDA: $307,000
📊 Revenue: $600,000
📅 Established: 2020

💭 My 2 Cents: Building a 51% EBITDA margin business in just five years tells me this owner found a real arbitrage opportunity in the Amazon FBA ecosystem. The company distributes foot insoles through Amazon under three-year contracts with major brands like Merrell and Wolverine, shipping directly from manufacturers in Asia to Amazon's fulfillment centers to sidestep the usual inventory and logistics headaches. What makes this particularly attractive is the completely remote setup requiring just a few hours daily for inventory management, with zero employees and no physical facilities to maintain. The contracted relationships with established footwear brands provides meaningful stability in a space where most Amazon sellers are constantly chasing the next product trend or dealing with knockoff competition. I'd want to dig into the exclusivity terms of those brand contracts, understand the renewal history and pricing dynamics, and confirm that Amazon policy changes or brand decisions to bring distribution in-house won't blow up the model. The bigger question is whether this is a true business with defensible relationships or simply a well-negotiated arbitrage that could evaporate if Merrell or Wolverine decide to consolidate their distributors.

3/ Auto Repair, Tire Shop, Towing, and Gas Station

📍 Location: Kansas
💼 EBITDA: $500,000
📊 Revenue: $3,000,000
📅 Established: 1974

💭 My 2 Cents: Most auto repair shops pick a lane, but this 51-year-old operation has built a diversified automotive services platform that captures customers across multiple revenue streams. The business combines repair work, tire sales, towing services, and fuel sales under one roof, which means they're getting paid whether you need an oil change, a tow after a breakdown, or just a fill-up on your commute. The current owner, who took over from his father in 2001, works part-time while 11 employees handle daily operations, and one of them is apparently ready to step into a general manager role, which could ease the ownership transition considerably. Revenue diversification is the real story here, since the fuel sales provide steady traffic and cash flow while the repair and towing work delivers higher-margin services, and the existing mix of radio advertising and social media tells me they've at least kept up with basic marketing. I'd want to break down revenue by service line to understand margin contribution from each, assess the facility's condition and whether it's owned or leased, and confirm the towing contracts with local municipalities or AAA that often drive volume. In small markets like this, a 50-year reputation and the convenience of bundled services creates a local monopoly that's tough for national chains to replicate.
