🔥 Fresh Intake: 10 New Businesses For Sale 🔥
Ten brand-new sellers walked through our intake in the last three weeks, and this issue is their debut. None of them have appeared in the newsletter before, and none of them are listed anywhere else. A commercial HVAC company doing $3M in Tampa. A pest control route business in Virginia. A pool company in Vermont clearing $450K. These are deals #69 through #78 in our master pipeline, and the numbers are permanent, so whichever one catches your eye, reply with it. And this Sunday we are hosting a free live workshop on the exact system our clients use to buy businesses like these. Details inside.
👋 Hey Team!
Welcome to all the new subscribers who joined this week!
How this issue works: deal numbers carry over from our master pipeline (Issues #221 through #236), so if you already replied about a deal, the number is the same. Everything in this issue is brand new, numbered #69 through #78. Note the numbers that interest you and reply to this email with them. Most of these businesses are off-market and appear nowhere else, and a real person on our team reads and answers every reply.
The Continental is Acquire Weekly's private buy-side concierge. We work directly with you to source, vet, negotiate, and close off-market businesses that fit your exact buy box, from first search to signed purchase agreement.
If you are serious about acquiring a business this year, this is the fastest path to a closed deal.

#72 - Commercial HVAC Company | Tampa, FL
📍 Location: Tampa, FL 🏷️ Asking Price: $2,400,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: Disclosed in diligence 📈 Gross Revenue: $3,000,000 (owner-reported) 📊 Business Type: Commercial HVAC Contracting 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 $3M Top Line! | Consolidator-Hunted Trade! | Retirement Sale!
✅ Key Highlights:
• HVAC is the single most rolled-up trade in America right now, and Florida is the hottest market for it. Platforms pay premiums for exactly this profile.
• $3,000,000 in owner-reported revenue in the Tampa metro, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.
• The asking price is 0.8x revenue before the cash flow picture is even on the table, which is where the diligence conversation starts.
• Retirement-driven sale from an owner open to discussing seller financing.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Maintenance agreements and service contracts are the classic recurring-revenue lever for HVAC buyers.
• Florida's construction pipeline keeps commercial installation demand structurally high.
📌 Summary:
A seven-figure HVAC operation with a retiring owner in a market consolidators are actively hunting. The buyer who verifies the cash flow first will not be the only one at the table for long.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

#69 - Pest Control Company | Midlothian, VA
📍 Location: Midlothian, VA (Richmond metro) 🏷️ Asking Price: $1,500,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: 15-20% margins (owner-reported) 📈 Gross Revenue: $645,000 (last year), $800,000+ pace this year 📊 Business Type: Residential & Commercial Pest Control 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 Revenue Growing 24%! | Route-Based Recurring Work! | Retirement Sale!
✅ Key Highlights:
• Pest control is the trade private equity loves most: quarterly recurring service agreements, route density economics, and customers who never cancel.
• Revenue moved from $645,000 last year to a $800,000+ pace this year, per the owner. Growth into a sale is the profile buyers want.
• The Richmond metro suburbs keep adding rooftops, and every rooftop is a potential recurring account.
• A straightforward retirement sale with up-to-date financials to verify against.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Commercial contracts and termite work typically carry higher margins than residential general pest.
• Route software and technician capacity are the only constraints on adding accounts in a growing metro.
📌 Summary:
Recurring routes, a growing top line, and a retiring owner. This is the acquisition profile that gets competitive fast, and it debuted here first.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

🎓 Free Live Workshop This Sunday: The Acquisition System
This Sunday we are going live and breaking down the exact acquisition system our clients use to find, finance, and close on profitable businesses, even with no industry experience.
This is for you if:
• You have at least $100K in accessible capital to put toward a deal.
• You are serious about acquiring a business in the next 6 to 12 months.
• You want a repeatable system, not one-off luck or guesswork.
• You are open to using SBA or seller financing so you are not funding the whole deal yourself.
Seats are limited for Sunday's live training, and it is completely free.
