Listing of the Week:

An incredible opportunity to acquire two well-established home improvement businesses in eastern Pennsylvania, including real estate, is now available. No prior industry experience is needed, as both businesses have a strong, experienced team in place and outstanding local reputations. With seller discretionary earnings exceeding $850,000 on $3.2 million in sales for 2024 (and 2025 sales already up 10%), this is a profitable and growing operation. Priced at $2.5 million, the deal has already been pre-approved by multiple banks, making financing more accessible.

Deal of the Week:

A niche trash and linen chute maintenance business has officially sold for $3.3 million! Listed in September, the deal faced an initial setback when the first buyer fell through, but persistence paid off. A strategic buyer stepped in, financing the real estate in cash and securing a business with strong financials, $665,000 in seller discretionary earnings on $3 million in revenue. With 6,000 active clients and over 300 service contracts, this business stood out as one of the only providers of its kind in the state. Thanks to solid financials and a smooth due diligence process, the final sale price held firm. To learn more, contact Jake Tobin at (954) 999-2233 or [email protected].
