The Standout Listing
Established 30+ Year Commercial Plumbing & HVAC Company ↗
Williamson County, TX
$6,500,000
Revenue
$1,178,697
Cash Flow
$8,500,000
Asking Price
This is a powerhouse commercial services deal in one of America's fastest-growing metros. With 30 years of operational history, $6.5M in revenue, and an 18.1% cash flow margin, this business represents institutional-grade stability in a fragmented industry. The dual service and construction divisions create revenue diversity, while the government contract exposure adds a moat that most competitors can't breach. At 7.2x cash flow, you're paying a premium—but for a business doing $1.2M in annual owner benefit with a 32-person trained workforce and an 11,000 SF facility already in place, the multiple is justified for a buyer looking to bolt on additional trades or roll this into a platform.
Verdict: Best deal of the week—rare commercial infrastructure play with scale and staying power

Profitable Plumbing and Sewer Services Business ↗
Grand Rapids, MI
$1,692,495
Revenue
$355,424
Cash Flow
$489,000
Asking Price
Our take: A home-based, single-operator plumbing business doing $1.7M in revenue with 21% cash flow margins at just 1.4x SDE is essentially a cash machine with a business wrapped around it. Established since 2006 with essential sewer services, this is a lifestyle business that could easily scale with one hire or serve as a tuck-in acquisition for a larger operation.
Verdict: Exceptional value play for operator-buyers or roll-up strategists

High-Volume Coastal Restaurant with ABC Type 47 License ↗
Monterey County, CA
$4,000,000
Revenue
$670,000
Cash Flow
$2,395,000
Asking Price
Our take: A $4M coastal restaurant with 16.75% margins and a full liquor license in Monterey County is a rare find—most restaurant deals this size run sub-10% margins. At 3.6x cash flow, you're buying a turnkey operation with established systems in a tourist-heavy market where barriers to entry (licensing, location, reputation) create defensibility that quick-service and casual concepts simply don't have.
Verdict: Premium hospitality asset with strong unit economics and location moat
