💬 Harry & Carter’s thoughts:

Remediation and recovery businesses are an increasingly popular acquisition targets due to the constant demand for their services arising from accidents, natural disasters, and environmental hazards. Projects often require ongoing maintenance and monitoring, leading to recurring revenue streams. A significant portion of work is covered by insurance policies which can provide a reliable source of income. After first glance, we would expect a realistic price for this business to be around $1,500,000 or roughly 3x EBITDA.

💬 Harry & Carter’s thoughts: 

Operating for over a decade, this specialized telehealth company presents numerous promising aspects. The listing highlights their possession of "transferrable" contracts with reputable educational institutions. This holds particular appeal as the transferability of contracts is a critical consideration when acquiring a business with contracts in place. Additionally, the business operates remotely and does not necessitate any licensure for its operation. We would be very curious to learn more about this listing.

💬 Harry & Carter’s thoughts: 

We're closely monitoring the waste management services industry. This company operates a 19-acre recycling facility in Fort Pierce, Florida. Landscaping companies frequent this facility to dispose of their debris, which is then processed and sold as composting material. The company earns revenue from both accepting debris and selling the processed material. What sets them apart is being the only legally zoned and licensed recycling facility in the county, giving them a strong moat and ensuring consistent revenue.

• Strong moat

• Growth potential from nearby developments

• Recession resistant service

• Generates revenue on the collection and sale of material.

❓️Why is the owner selling?
