#1 – Made-to-Order Patent Art DTC Brand
📍 Location: Kentucky (fully relocatable)
🏷️ Asking Price: Available upon NDA
🆔 Deal Code: PATENT
💰 SDE: $119,000 reported | $214,000 pro forma
📈 Gross Revenue: $1,500,000 TTM (+20.8% vs FY 2025)
📊 Business Type: DTC eCommerce / Patent Art
🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated
🔥 12,500+ Customers! | 60.7% Gross Margins! | 18% Vendor Savings Quoted in Writing!
Original US patent drawings, hand-painted in period watercolor, printed on archival paper, framed in oak, and shipped from Kentucky. Gifters buy them for husbands and sons, collectors decorate offices with them, museums stock them in gift shops, and interior designers spec them for corporate projects.
✅ Key Highlights:
• The brand has served 12,500+ customers with a 4.9-star rating across 500+ reviews and a low return rate, generating $1.5M in trailing twelve month net sales at a 60.7% gross margin.
• The catalog spans 350+ designs with no single SKU above roughly 3% of revenue and no influencer dependency, with millions of public-domain patents left to expand into.
• The operation is made-to-order and made in the USA, meaning no inventory pile and no warehouse lease for the new owner to absorb.
• An 18% production vendor savings is already quoted in writing, lifting pro forma SDE from $119K to $214K before the buyer changes a single thing.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Nearly all new customers currently come through Meta, leaving Google, Amazon, and creator channels entirely untapped.
• Wholesale opened in 2025 through Faire and museum gift shops, and both channels are already reordering.
• The trade channel of interior designers and corporate projects drives the highest order values in the business and remains underdeveloped.
📌 Summary:
A profitable, differentiated DTC art brand with seven-figure revenue, an American production base, and a documented cost savings the seller already negotiated but will not be the one to collect. Ideal for a buyer with paid media or marketplace experience who can diversify acquisition beyond Meta.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

We've personally used ScaleSmartly ourselves and have referred them repeatedly to other business owners, which is why I'm sharing this. This isn't generic outsourcing or low-level VA staffing. ScaleSmartly focuses on finding proactive, reliable people who communicate well, take ownership, and become valuable long-term members of the team.

#2 – Parisian Premium Streetwear Maison | Acquisition or Investment
📍 Location: Paris, France + US distribution arm
🏬 Retail Space: Owned flagship boutique in the heart of Le Marais, Paris's 3rd arrondissement, one of Europe's densest fashion retail corridors (exact address released under NDA)
🏷️ Structure: Full acquisition or structured investment, terms upon NDA
🆔 Deal Code: PARIS
💶 FY24 Revenue: ~€491,000 combined | Inventory: ~€204,000 on hand
📈 Gross Margin: ~73% combined
📊 Business Type: Premium Streetwear / Fashion Maison
🏠 Ownership: Founder and creative director staying on board to scale with the right partner
🔥 Paris Fashion Week! | Paris 2024 Olympic Uniform Designer! | Le Marais Flagship! | Pitti Uomo 109 Exhibitor!
July 26, 2024: Trinidad and Tobago's national team walked the Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony in uniforms designed by this maison. Steel-pan buttons, coral-snake palette, only fifty of each piece made. A decade of building sits behind that moment, and now the door is open two ways: a full acquisition, or an investment alongside the founder and creative director, who is looking to stay on board and scale the brand with the right partner.
✅ Key Highlights:
• The founder and creative director remains at the helm of design and brand direction post-close, giving an investor or acquirer creative continuity instead of a talent gap.
• The brand is active on the Paris Fashion Week calendar and is a confirmed exhibitor at Pitti Uomo 109 in Florence, showing the SS26 collection to international buyers.
• The maison designed the official Trinidad and Tobago uniform for the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony in partnership with FashionTT, a proof moment no ad budget can buy.
• The owned flagship sits in the heart of Le Marais, red brick, raw plaster, gold trim, in a district where foot traffic is built of exactly the customer this brand sells to.
• €2.41M in capital has already been paid in across the group structure (FR holding, FR SAS, US LLC), giving the incoming partner a finished platform instead of a build project.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Convert Paris Fashion Week and Pitti Uomo visibility into a scaled international wholesale book.
• The US entity is built and waiting for a partner with real distribution muscle.
• The Olympic story supports a licensing and collaboration pipeline that has not yet been monetized.
📌 Summary:
A brand play with two doors in: buy the maison outright, or invest and scale it with the founder still leading design. Either way, you are not replacing the creative engine. You are funding it. The flagship, the entities, the Olympic story, and the fashion week calendar are already in place for the scale phase.

📅 What to Watch: July 2026
As we move through July 2026, here's what savvy buyers are keeping an eye on:
Pro Forma Numbers That Actually Cash → The patent art brand in this week's issue carries a $95K gap between reported and pro forma SDE, and the difference is a vendor quote in writing. That is the standard to hold every deal to: an adjustment is only real if it is documented, executable on day one, and adds no new risk. Everything else is a story priced as a fact.
Brand Equity Is Trading Like an Asset Class → Brand management groups and strategics keep paying premiums for IP, proof moments, and owned distribution rather than raw cash flow. The Parisian maison in this issue is the small-cap version of that trade: an Olympic commission and a Le Marais flagship are exactly the assets that class of buyer underwrites.
The Storage Cap Rate Spread → Stabilized Class A storage in strong markets is clearing in the low-to-mid 5% cap range while value-add assets trade 100 to 200 basis points wider. Assets with temporarily suppressed NOI, like this week's 234-door facility with experiment-level rents still in the income statement, are where that spread pays the buyer who can execute the normalization.
#3 – Ad Creative Template SaaS Platform
📍 Location: Fully remote, US entity
🏷️ Asking Price: Available upon NDA
🆔 Deal Code: TEMPLATES
💰 Revenue Model: Recurring subscriptions with automated billing and dunning
📈 Gross Revenue: ~$1,330,000 in 2025 sales
📊 Business Type: SaaS / Ad Creative Templates
🏠 Ownership: Founder-light with documented SOPs
🔥 Up to 2,000 Templates Per Week! | 100% Automated Onboarding! | Recurring Revenue!
Every media buyer wakes up to the same enemy: the blank canvas. This platform sells the answer on subscription: a library of proven ad templates plus an in-app request engine where subscribers ask for what they need, a trained design team builds it, QA reviews it, and it goes live for everyone on the platform.
✅ Key Highlights:
• The production pipeline fulfills up to 2,000 template requests per week with just 2 designers, and capacity scales linearly with headcount.
• Onboarding is 100% automated from signup to dashboard with zero human touch, supported by in-product flows and self-serve help docs.
• A full churn defense stack is built in: a save offer at cancellation, a churn survey, a 48-hour personal follow-up, and monthly reactivation campaigns.
• Every core operating process, from support escalation to billing recovery, is already documented for due diligence.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• A buyer with an existing audience, agency book, or newsletter can pour subscribers into infrastructure that is already built and paid for.
• Template output scales by simply adding designers to a proven production pipeline.
• Annual plans, team seats, and agency tiers are all untouched pricing levers.
📌 Summary:
A machine deal, not a margin deal. 2025 was the scale-up year and the P&L shows what growth costs. The buyer who wins here is the one who can feed distribution into a subscription machine somebody else already paid to build.

#4 – 234-Unit Self-Storage Facility Below Replacement Cost
📍 Location: North San Diego County, California
🏷️ Asking Price: $5,450,000 ($130.88 per enclosed sq ft)
🆔 Deal Code: STORAGE
💰 NOI: $331,000 annualized 2026 | $404,000 proforma
📈 Cap Rate: 6.08% current | 7.42% proforma
📊 Asset Type: Self-Storage | 234 units (190 storage, 32 containers, 12 parking) on 3.07 acres
🏠 Occupancy: 82% today vs a roughly 95% historic norm
🔥 $131/Sq Ft vs $200+ Comps! | Full Roof Replacement 2020! | Offers Due August 10!
In fall 2025, ownership did something no broker would recommend: they slashed their own rents to test demand. 5x10 units dropped from $123 to $60, and 10x8 containers from $171 to $89. The discounted units filled to essentially zero vacancy, and those experiment-level rents are still sitting in today's income statement, suppressing today's numbers and today's price.
✅ Key Highlights:
• Comparable self-storage in the same county has traded well above $200 per square foot at sub-5% cap rates, while this facility is offered at $131.
• A full roof replacement was completed in 2020 and on-site solar reduces common area utility costs, limiting near-term capital expenditure risk.
• Operations were recently modernized with new management software, online rentals, and a remote-management-ready setup.
• Rate normalization is a documented, low-risk NOI lever because the discounted unit types are already full.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Restore the tested unit types to market rents that the demand data already supports.
• Push occupancy from 82% back toward the facility's historic 95% norm.
• An after-hours call center and dynamic pricing are queued up but not yet implemented.
📌 Summary:
A rare chance to buy suppressed income in a supply-constrained San Diego County market. The seller already ran the demand experiment; the buyer's diligence job is confirming the rent roll and collecting the normalization. Offers are due August 10, 2026, and that is a real date, not a marketing one.
🔒 Confidentiality: Full offering package available upon NDA.
