We Buy Trades & Service Businesses
That Run Without the Internet

We look for businesses with loyal customers, steady cash flow, and an owner who's ready to pass the torch. You don't need a website, social media, or an online presence — that's actually what we look for.

🔧

HVAC

Heating, cooling, and ventilation. Established service routes, recurring maintenance contracts. Ideal if owner-operated with 5+ employees.

🪠

Plumbing

Residential and commercial plumbing. Strong demand, loyal customer base, limited competition in suburban markets.

🏠

Roofing

Established roofing contractors with repeat commercial clients or strong referral networks. Storm-restoration experience a plus.

🫧

Laundromats

Coin-op or card laundry. Passive income model, minimal staffing, predictable cash flow. Our favorite business type.

⚡

Electrical

Licensed electrical contractors with recurring commercial clients or residential service territory in suburban Tennessee or Alabama.

🌿

Landscaping & Lawn Care

Established routes, commercial contracts, or recurring residential programs. Prefer businesses with operator or foreman in place.

Why Work With Us

We Do Things the Old-Fashioned Way.
Handshake First. Paperwork Second.

🤝

Seller Financing Welcome

We actively prefer seller financing. It's better for you and it shows we're serious about the business — not just a quick flip.

🔒

Complete Confidentiality

Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know a thing until you decide it's time. We sign an NDA on day one, period.

💰

No Broker. No Fees.

We don't use business brokers. That means no 10–12% commission coming out of your sale price. You keep more of what you've earned.

⏱️

Fast, Simple Process

We've bought businesses before. We know what we're doing. Most deals from first conversation to close in 60–90 days.

📍

We're Local

We focus exclusively on the Southeast — Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, and Mississippi. This is our home too.

🎯

We Buy to Keep

We're not private equity. We're not flippers. We buy good businesses and keep them running — your legacy stays intact.

A Note on Seller Financing

Seller Financing Isn't a Last Resort.
It's Our Preference.

Most buyers want all cash from a bank. We're different. We believe the best deals happen when the seller stays invested in the outcome — and that's exactly what seller financing does. We'll work with you on structure, terms, and timeline so you walk away feeling good about it.

Common Questions

We Hear These A Lot

Do I need a website or financial records to get started?
No. We work with businesses that have no online presence at all — that's our specialty. For financials, we can work from tax returns, QuickBooks, or even just bank statements. We'll figure it out together.
How does seller financing work, exactly?
Instead of getting all your money from a bank at closing, a portion of the sale price is paid to you over time — like a monthly payment with interest. It often results in a higher total sale price, and it means we're motivated to keep the business successful. We're happy to explain the options in detail.
Will my employees find out I'm thinking about selling?
Not from us. We sign a confidentiality agreement before any details are shared, and we have extensive experience keeping transactions quiet until the right moment — which is entirely your call.
How long does the process take?
From first conversation to closing typically takes 60–90 days. We don't drag things out. If we say we're interested, we move.
What if I'm not ready to sell yet — just exploring?
That's perfectly fine. Many of our best conversations start that way. We can talk through what your business might be worth today, what would make it more valuable, and what the right timing looks like for you. No pressure whatsoever.
What states and cities do you buy in?
We focus on Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, and Mississippi — specifically within about two hours of Nashville. That includes Murfreesboro, Columbia, Clarksville, Huntsville, Bowling Green, and dozens of surrounding communities.
