Company is committed to providing the highest level of professionalism and safety for all visitors looking to take helicopter training classes, helicopter tours, aerial media, charter flights, gender reveals, City events, weddings, Aircraft management or finding a Helicopter Ride in So CA. Located at the best helicopter training airport in LA. Partnership separation and absentee ownership is motivating the sale. The sellers have done the heavy lifting over more than a decade and have other interests and responsibilities. At this time, though the business is quite profitable and positioned for significant growth, its physical assets and certifications are valued as much or more than the cash flow (from a replacement vs commercial lender perspective). That said, after an uncontrollable and very unfortunate industry maintenance issue in 2023, 2024 and 2025 cash flow has caught up. Sellers are motivated but the business is growing, the fiscal reality is comfortable, and the future is bright. This is an established good business with a solid team in place. Regardless, the buyer will need to be well capitalized and/or have immediate experience and significant cash available for continued investment to grow. Physical Assets to be sold together: Two owned R44 Helicopters and two R22…along with a 3 yr old full motion flight simulator – estimated value at $1,400,000. There is also a managed R44 currently flying and a managed Cabri pending overhaul since 11/25. The newly acquired leased Cessna 172 TAA is in the air and will be ready for a full schedule of flight training in Q1 2026. FAA Part 135 (Charter Full certificate).

Chief Pilot, Director of Operations and Director of Maintenance positions are required to maintain the full certificate. Part 91 LOA for air tours. SEVIS certification received effective 6/1/23 (student exchange visitor program which will enable company to issue i20 and M1 Visas). This represents a very significant growth opportunity into the future. Certificate and Certifications – estimated value $700,000. Cut the line! These certifications and certificates take many years (6-8) to secure and newcomers to the 141-flight school side can’t even apply until business has been operational for 2 years. Rare Dual Rating in industry offers reduced requirements for pilot licensing with multiple new revenue streams and additional competitive advantage beginning 2026. Nwe Hanger 2024: Investment $100,000. Helicopter parts: estimated value $50,000 Various other physical assets: 7- person golf cart, mobile fuel and pumping system and other hanger equipment. Estimated value. $10,000 Hanger FFE: estimated value $25,000. Company is the ONLY operator in California to have the Guimbal G2 Cabri advanced trainer and the only school in the So. CA area to have an FAA accredited helicopter flight training device (simulator). Zero accidents on record. 100% safety record. All processes and systems (including SMS safety) are fully documented. Training manuals exist for every role. No single employee “IS” the company. CEO/Chief Pilot owners have been largely absentee but will be available as needed part-time to assist transition. The CEO may be available after the sale in a part-time advisory capacity. The Chief Pilot will assist with a transition, but there must be a clear path for complete exit in a reasonable timeframe. Current Staff: Operations Manager, Assistant Ops, Front Desk Admin, 4 FT, 2 PT plus new Fixed Wing Instructor/Pilot, 2 owners mostly absentee owners (both Pilots). The critical gap you will need to fill is that of Chief Pilot. Currently the Chief Pilot wishes to exit the business following a reasonable transition period. She also serves as the Chief Instructor. Current revenue streams: Flight Training, Charter, Tours, Aerial Photography and videography, Gender Reveal (first in the country to make it into a viable commercial product), Aircraft Management.

Significant investment and operational efficiencies have set the next owner operator up for accelerated growth in revenue and earnings beyond 2024. Capital investment in 2021 & 2022 resulted in owned vs. leased helicopters, though there is 1 managed r44 and 1 managed Cabri in the 2025 mix. The new Cessna 172 TAA is leased. The change in strategy resulted in significant annual expense reduction and the new hanger and flight simulator are adding income streams in general and opportunities to generate income when the weather isn’t appropriate for flying. The Fixed Wing addition will not only enable a new revenue stream but Dual Rating benefits to pilots and in turn the business. Bring or earn your pilot license, hire more pilots, or train and employ them to grow the business to its potential. Revenue History: 2018 $1.2, 2019 $1.3M, 2020 $1M and 2021 $1.68M, 2022 $1.36M, 2023 $1.12M, 2024 $1.32M, 2025 Jan-Sept $1,054k. 2024 SDE $493K.

Commercial HVAC 2025 EBITDA $1M+ and GROWING due to PERFORMANCE
$ 6,800,000
CF : $ 1,300,000
Commercial HVAC 2025 EBITDA over $1M. The company is GROWING fast due to consistent Excellent Performance and Infrastructure! Seller owned real estate included with the sale of the business (Dec 2025 appraisal about $1M). 2025 gross revenue is trending over $5M. All current agreements renewed in December for 2026 with conservative additional revenue projected about 40% YOY. California CSLB # 889426 (C20, C38); Arizona ROC # 351412 (C39) required. This is a family‑owned commercial HVAC & Refrigeration contractor providing installation, maintenance, and repair for mission‑critical systems across Southern California, Greater Phoenix, and Greater Tucson. The company emphasizes transparent, non‑commission recommendations and fast‑response emergency service. Founded in the ‘90s, ownership began to pivot from residential to commercial about 2019. Since then, they have a robust list of 1100 billed locations representing about 50 multi-location brands/chains, many represented through 8 large IFM and about 10 small IFM relationships. IFM contracts are awarded based upon performance and once awarded the business is presented to individual customers who hire and pay for the service - some directly, some through the IFM. Most contracts auto renew unless there is a performance issue which has not happened due to close monitoring of metrics. Revenue mix is approximately 90% PM (25% PM and 75% WFPM) and 10% installation. IFM (Integrated Facilities Management). No new construction since 2022. Company margin performance puts it in the top quartile for the industry and performance metrics (KPI’s) with IFM’s and National Brands are best in class with internal target >85% with achievement >80%. Much of the business is generated from IFM performance-based contracts and word of mouth within multi-national chains. Though there has been no direct or social media marketing other than a new website, local B:B customers are also supported. Plans are in place to launch a SEO campaign early in 2026 directed at the new territories. The company expanded to Phoenix and Tucson, AZ late 2023 with about $1M revenue boost in 2025 largely due to the request of Southern CA customers with operations there. There is a significant amount of potential, but a careful growth and implementation strategy is very important to sustainable success. New territories take front ended capital, and about a year to build reputation and establish performance (KPI) results with payback typically within 10 months. The infrastructure, processes and systems are seasoned to support this growth. Currently, the company has comfortable capacity for an additional $750k in revenue annually without additional investment. Based conservatively upon pending RFP awards (they have enjoyed a 100% award rate over the last several years), YOY growth within those IFM’s could be over 40%. Expansion plans with current customers include SF Bay Area, CA, and Texas. The company employs 28 full-time W2 employees with a fleet of 21 configured service vehicles. Due to supplier relationships enduring 15-30 years with 16 primary suppliers and redundancy, the company consistently benefits from top-tier pricing incentives. Key management in place; Sr. Operations, Regional Service Managers, Technical Supervisor and Accounting Manager along with field-technicians, are running the business. The owner oversees operations and focuses on continuously strengthening infrastructure, processes, and systems so the company can keep scaling impressively. There is no union affiliation. The seller has other business and family interests and is operating two other unrelated small businesses concurrently. The family has plans to relocate to the east coast in the future. That said, the seller is prepared to support the transition and further growth for up to 36 months on a negotiable basis. Seller is ideally looking for a growth-oriented buyer/successor who has the capacity to continue the family legacy and thrive. A 25-year lease is in place for the mixed-use property at $6,241.42 per month. However, the seller is the owner of the real estate, which is for sale - with the business - for about $1M (standard appraisal from December 2025 available). The 2,975 sqft building offers 5 offices and a bull pen with (6) 6x6 desks, each with 3-screen computer stations, a kitchen, and warehouse where miscellaneous parts are stored. There is parking for 14 vehicles. It is zoned for office, retail, food or medical use for which there is scarcity in the area. 2025 Gross Proforma Revenue is trending over $5M. Proforma EBITDA is trending over $1M and SDE over $1.3M. FFE estimate: $450k. Supplies estimate: $25k - $50k at any given time. Working capital estimate: $350k. Buyers should be prepared with a significant down payment and should not anticipate a highly leveraged deal structure. SBA might be possible for those with solid industry experience, but you’ll need to come with at least 20% equity injection (down payment) Price: $6,800,000.
