1/ Home Medical Equipment Distribution Business

📍 Location: North Florida
💼 EBITDA: $400,000
📊 Revenue: $2,500,000
📅 Established: 1964

💭 My 2 Cents: Ostomy supplies (the pouches and accessories used by patients who've had bowel or bladder surgeries) are a niche category with sticky economics: patients need monthly refills for life, insurance covers most of the cost, and switching providers is a hassle nobody wants. This distributor has been at it for 60 years, building a referral network with nurses, specialists, and insurance networks that would take a new entrant years to replicate. The current owner, who bought the business in 2024, has already upgraded technology and processes while pursuing more aggressive digital marketing to complement the traditional referral channels. What stands out is the cash flow dynamics: the largest supplier offers 60-day payment terms while insurance reimbursements arrive in two to three weeks, meaning the business collects before it pays. The team of roughly 10 employees handles operations, though the owner still serves as general manager. I'd want to understand reimbursement trends from Medicare and private insurers, the mix of product margins across the five manufacturer relationships, and how dependent the referral pipeline is on specific healthcare provider relationships. The aging U.S. population and growth in outpatient care should provide steady tailwinds, but the real value here is the recurring revenue locked in by patient inertia and the complexity of navigating insurance billing.

2/ Battery and Electric Equipment Supplier

📍 Location: Massachusetts
💼 EBITDA: $910,000
📊 Revenue: $2,600,000
📅 Established: 1950

💭 My 2 Cents: Industrial battery distribution doesn't get much attention, but this 75-year-old operation makes a strong case for the model with a 35% EBITDA margin on $2.6M in revenue. The company sources from manufacturers like East Penn, US Battery, and Leos Manufacturing, then resells under its own name to customers who value technical expertise and problem-solving over the lowest price. That positioning matters because batteries are not commodities when your forklift fleet is down or your backup power fails. The operation is lean, just the owner and one driver, which explains the strong margins but also represents the biggest risk: this is a one-man show where the owner works full time and handles everything except deliveries. He's 59, caring for a parent with Alzheimer's, and looking for a successor since his children aren't interested. I'd want to understand how transferable the customer relationships are, whether the supplier accounts would survive an ownership change, and what it would cost to hire a salesperson or operations manager to reduce owner dependence. The right buyer here is someone willing to work in the business initially while building out the team, because 75 years of reputation and a $910K cash flow don't come around often in distribution.

3/ Automotive Repair Shop

📍 Location: North Texas
💼 EBITDA: $600,000
📊 Revenue: $1,700,000
📅 Established: 2005

💭 My 2 Cents: General automotive repair is a competitive space, but this shop has built something most independents never achieve: a fully staffed operation that runs without the owner turning wrenches. Five technicians and two service advisors handle customer repairs, while a front desk manager and shop foreman oversee daily operations, allowing the owner to visit only occasionally. That kind of organizational depth is rare for a shop doing under $2M in revenue and tells me the systems and culture are solid. Located in one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, the business has grown through word of mouth, referrals, and SEO without any paid advertising, which points to real upside from targeted marketing or fleet accounts. The 35% EBITDA margin is healthy for the industry, though I'd want to understand technician pay structures and retention, average repair order value, and whether the current facility could handle more volume or if capacity is maxed out. With the owner retiring and a management team already in place, this is a cleaner transition than most auto shops, where knowledge and customer trust often walk out the door with the seller.
