π Startup Spotlight
Discover profitable online and traditional businesses.
#1. Commercial Landscaping & Mowing Company(πΈ $5.1M in Gross Revenue)
π° Asking Price: $2,480,000
This 27 year old commercial landscaping company is being offered by the original owner. Currently, Seller is absentee, with sufficient management in place.
All revenue derived is from commercial contracts, mostly corporate and commercial property owners. No industry experience required. Seller is retiring. Building and land is available for sale, and Seller will hold mortgage.
Type: Service Business
β Key Highlights
$5,161,991 in Gross Revenue
$708,064 in Cash Flow
Real Estate Included
Real Estate Value: $1,900,000
81 Full time employees
$475,000 in furniture value
$12,000 in inventory
π Growth Opportunities
Expand Geolocations: With 80 full time staff and a strong track record gives the new owner the opportunity to start operating in other local regions and win bigger contract sizes.
π©Cons
Size of contracts: Iβd dive into what the current relationships are with the current clients. What % of revenue comes from the bigger contract sizes, what happens if you lose one contract? Will you lose a bulk of the revenue?
#2. Online Recruitment Agency For Healthcare (πΈ $272k in Gross Income)
π° Asking Price: $800,000
Launched in 2020, the company has a team of experienced virtual assistants responsible for sourcing candidates through a variety of employment platforms. That ranges from general job recruitment sites such as LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter to specialized sites, such as Doccafe, a job board for those working in the medical field.
Type: Service Business
β Key Highlights
$272,698 in Gross Revenue
$210,400 in Cash Flow
77% net profit margins
$500,000 in deal flow in pipeline
89% CVR for candidates who apply for their job listings
π Growth Opportunities
Sales Team: Outreach to medical and healthcare facilities and expand their partnerships with hospital organizations that are a vital source for finding new clients.
π©Cons
SOP: New owner would have to review some of the SOPs for a business like this. Majority of the work is managed by VAs, as the new owner Iβd vet the current systems in place and how the workflow is completed.
In Partnership With eVouch
eVouch is a Shopify app that gets your customers to post Instagram stories about your brand.
I've integrated eVouch into several of my own brands and let me tell you, the results have been nothing short of spectacular. We're talking about customer engagement that has truly disrupted our traditional metrics.
On average, we've seen 3.5% of all customers actively posting stories about their purchases. That's organic reach that you can't put a price on!
What's the secret sauce? The app provides discounts to shoppers to share their experiences through Instagram stories, making it a win-win for both the customer and the brand. Customizable templates make it effortless for your customers to create visually appealing stories that align with your brand's aesthetic.
Don't just take my word for it; experience the eVouch effect for yourself. Trust me, you'll wonder how you ever managed to grow your brand without it.
I donβt have a discount code for it right now but Alonzo told me that all brands who come in through me are eligible for a 1 month free trial (instead of the regular 2 weeks), priority support, and free creative design by their in-house designers.
Feel free to book a call with Alonzo here
#3. Organic Skincare Line (πΈ $300k in TTM Revenue)
π° Asking Price: $700,000
Profitable eCommerce with $300,000 in TTM revenue and $176,725 in TTM profit selling multi-functional organic bath and skincare for our bodies with the lowest possible impact on the environment.
All of our products are crafted and formulated with intention, and thoughtfully packaged in biodegradable and fully recyclable materials.
Type: eCom
β Key Highlights
$300,000 in TTM revenue
$176,725 in TTM profit
$30,000 in revenue last month
$15,000 in profit last month
Raised approx. $300,000 in funding
π Growth Opportunities
Wholesale: Seems like the business generates majority of their revenue from wholesale which is a great start to have. Iβd start figuring out how to increase this line of business through more outreach.
DTC: Skincare industry has a generic playbook which you can follow. Create a compelling offer, clear messaging on landing page & ads. Solawave is a great example of this.
π©Cons
Margins: For skincare I feel like the margins are really bad. Look into finding new suppliers or raising prices to see if you can increase those margins so when it comes to advertising youβll be more profitable on first order.

Great read!
Most people can buy a $300,000 SDE business and change their life but they have no idea what those ops look like.
Well grab a coffee, kick your feet up, and let me show you.
