📊 Newly Listed Deals

⚡ Residential Electrical Services

Residential electrical services business in San Francisco, California, established in 2015. Provides troubleshooting, repairs, lighting upgrades, panel work, safety inspections, and other essential electrical services. Revenue comes from a balanced mix of service calls, upgrade projects, and repeat customers. Four employees with established scheduling processes and customer management systems. Suitable for owner-operator or manager-led structure.

  • 📍 Location: San Francisco, CA

  • 💰 Asking Price: $299K

  • 💼 SDE: $285K

  • 📊 Revenue: $1.1M

  • 📐 SDE Margin: 25.9%

  • 🧮 Estimated DSCR: 6.5x

  • 💵 Estimated Cash Flow After Debt Service: $241K

  • ℹ️ Source: BusinessesForSale.com

  • Listed: 1 Day Ago

Business Highlights:

  • 1.0x SDE multiple and 0.3x revenue multiple on a 10-year-old electrical services business. Exceptional value entry point

  • $1.1M revenue with 4 employees and established systems for scheduling, customer management, and field operations

  • Balanced revenue mix across service calls, upgrade projects, and repeat customers. Consistent cash flow throughout the year

  • Licensed electrical services in the San Francisco market, where demand remains strong and barriers to entry (licensing, permitting) limit competition

  • Growth paths include expanded marketing, additional technicians, and increased service capacity. Manager-led structure is feasible

💡 EBIT Take: $299K for an electrical business doing $1.1M in revenue with $285K SDE. The 1.0x multiple is as cheap as it gets for a licensed trade. 6.5x DSCR means you're printing money from day one on SBA terms. The question is why it's priced this low. Dig into whether the SDE is overstated, whether the license transfers, and what the owner's role actually is.

🏥 Pain Management & Radiology Practice

Established multi-site pain management and interventional radiology practice operating across three locations in New Jersey and New York. Grown from a single practitioner to a team of three providers offering traditional pain management (epidurals, facet injections, nerve blocks) alongside advanced in-office interventional radiology procedures. Clinical volume: 60 patients/week (physician), 40 evals/week (NP), 15–20 interventional procedures/month. 100% outpatient. Two NJ facilities are owned, one NY location is leased.

  • 📍 Location: New Jersey / New York

  • 💰 Asking Price: $6.0M

  • 💼 SDE: $1.5M

  • 📊 Revenue: $2.9M

  • 📐 SDE Margin: 51.6%

  • 👤 Owner Involvement: Active

  • 🧮 Estimated DSCR: 1.9x (Blended)

  • 💵 Estimated Cash Flow After Debt Service: $723K

  • ℹ️ Source: Synergy Business Brokers

  • Listed: 1 Day Ago

Business Highlights:

  • 51.6% SDE margin on $2.9M revenue with a differentiated clinical model combining traditional pain management and in-office interventional radiology. Few practices offer both under one roof

  • Payer mix: Medicare 60%, Personal Injury 30%, other insurance/self-pay 10%. Diversified across three reimbursement channels with strong PI margins

  • Two owned NJ facilities (including a recently purchased 3,000 sq ft building being developed into a dedicated procedure suite) plus one leased NY location (2,000 sq ft, MTM with conversion option). Real estate included in asking price

  • Embolization services (GAE for knee osteoarthritis, shoulder embolization) represent a significant growth area with plans to expand into uterine, plantar fasciitis, and prostate applications

  • Key staff have nonsolicitation agreements, NP handles 40 evals/week independently, and written treatment protocols reduce provider dependency. Founding physician leads clinically

💡 EBIT Take: The 51.6% SDE margin is exceptional for a medical practice, but the gap between SDE ($1.5M) and EBITDA ($900K) means ~$600K in owner compensation is baked in. The real question is provider dependency. The founding physician sees 60 patients/week. With owned real estate included, the $6.0M ask at a 4.0x SDE multiple (6.7x EBITDA) is reasonable if the clinical volume holds through transition. The embolization expansion is a genuine growth story. Verify referral source concentration and whether the physician plans to stay post-close.

⛽ 5-Location Gas Station Portfolio

Portfolio of five operating gas stations in established Arkansas markets, including branded and unbranded locations plus one unbranded site. Combined fuel volume of 1.77M gallons (March–December reporting) averaging 260K gallons per site annually. Fuel drives traffic while inside sales ($3.1M combined), lottery commissions, ATM income, and rental income contribute to overall profitability. Lean staffing model with one employee per shift, minimal owner involvement, and employees handling day-to-day operations.

  • 📍 Location: Arkansas

  • 💰 Asking Price: $900K

  • 💼 SDE: $405K

  • 📊 Revenue: Inside Sales: $3.1M; Fuel Volume: 1.77M Gallons

  • 👤 Owner Involvement: Minimal

  • 🧮 Estimated DSCR: 3.1x

  • 💵 Estimated Cash Flow After Debt Service: $274K

  • ℹ️ Source: HedgeStone Business Advisors

  • Listed: 4 Days Ago

Business Highlights:

  • 5 locations at $900K total ($180K per site) with $405K portfolio cash flow. 2.2x asking multiple across the bundle

  • Fuel margins range from $0.20 to $0.40/gallon depending on site. $3.1M in inside sales (March–December) is where the real margin lives

  • Lean staffing at one employee per shift across all sites with stable retention. Ownership provides periodic oversight only

  • 13 total dispensers, diesel available at select locations. $483K annual rent across the portfolio, double-walled tanks with annual inspections and third-party maintenance

  • Cash flow varies significantly by site ($26K–$174K per location). Approximate fuel deposits of ~$150K total required across all five sites

💡 EBIT Take: $900K for a 5-location gas station portfolio generating $405K cash flow is a clean 2.2x multiple. The site-level cash flow spread ($26K to $174K) tells you there's at least one underperformer worth evaluating closely. Inside sales are the margin driver here, not fuel. Verify whether leases are assignable and on what terms before modeling the deal.

❄️ HVAC & Refrigeration Co.

  • 📍 Location: Grand Junction, CO

  • 💰 Asking Price: $575K

  • 💼 SDE: $331K

  • 🧮 Estimated DSCR: 3.9x

  • 💵 Estimated Cash Flow After Debt Service: $247K

  • ℹ️ Source: Transworld Business Advisors

  • Listed: 3 Days Ago

Business Highlights:

  • 34.7% SDE margin on $954K revenue with a 1.7x asking multiple. Strong unit economics for a 4-year-old HVAC operation

  • Seller financing available for qualified buyers with 4-week training/transition period

💡 EBIT Take: Sub-$600K for an HVAC business doing $954K revenue at nearly 35% margins with seller financing on the table. The 3.9x DSCR is one of the strongest in this batch. Only 4 years old, so verify how much of the customer base is relationship-driven vs. systems-driven before assuming retention through transition.

💻 IT Managed Services Provider

IT managed services provider based in the Western U.S., serving over 70 active accounts. Nearly 80% of 2024 revenue is recurring, with the balance from hardware sales, labor, and related items. Capabilities span asset management, monitoring, maintenance, cybersecurity, software licensing, network infrastructure design and installation, and telecommunications. Core W-2 team supplemented by specialized subcontractors. Management will remain through transition.

  • 📍 Location: Western U.S.

  • 💰 Asking Price: Not Disclosed

  • 💼 SDE: $530K

  • 📊 Revenue: $1.6M

  • 📐 SDE Margin: 33.1%

  • 👤 Owner Involvement: Active (Management Willing to Stay)

  • 🧮 Estimated DSCR: N/A

  • 💵 Estimated Cash Flow After Debt Service: N/A

  • ℹ️ Source: Generational Equity

  • Listed: 4 Days Ago

Business Highlights:

  • ~80% recurring revenue on $1.6M topline with 33.1% EBITDA margins. Predictable, contract-based income from 70+ active accounts

  • Client servers hosted within the company's managed data center, creating deep integration and high switching costs

  • W-2 core team plus specialized subcontractors allows workforce scaling with demand. Flexible cost structure

  • All growth to date from word-of-mouth and client referrals. No formal marketing spend, making structured demand gen an obvious lever

  • Management willing to remain through and potentially beyond transition. NDA required for financials and asking price

💡 EBIT Take: 80% recurring revenue and a managed data center hosting model that embeds the business into client operations. That's a strong retention profile. At 33% EBITDA margins on $1.6M, the question is what they're asking. MSPs in this range typically trade at 4-6x EBITDA. Get behind the NDA and evaluate client concentration across those 70 accounts.
