Residential/Commercial Pool Construction and Repair Maintenance
Call/Email
This Southern California-based pool construction business has built a solid reputation over nearly three decades. Specializing in custom residential and commercial pool builds, the company delivers high-end design and construction services with a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction and quality craftsmanship. Clients benefit from detailed 3D designs, direct project management, and a seamless experience from consultation to final inspection. The business operates under a subcontractor model with no in-house labor, creating minimal overhead and allowing for scalable growth. Approximately 65% of revenue is derived from repeat commercial clients, including large-scale property managers. Residential projects typically range from $85K–$150K and are booked consistently through SEO-driven leads and referrals. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, home-based business with strong vendor relationships and an excellent reputation in the Inland Empire. C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor LICENSE REQUIRED This business is ideally positioned for expansion. With no storefront or warehouse overhead and a reliable subcontractor model, it offers immediate scalability. A buyer could grow the business by hiring a project manager or designer to increase job capacity and reduce owner involvement. There is strong opportunity to reactivate paused lead generation platforms such as HomeAdvisor and Angi, which previously delivered 30–40 leads per month. Additionally, establishing a presence on social media and launching email marketing or referral campaigns could further accelerate growth. Expanding service areas into adjacent high-income markets, such as Orange County and Palm Desert, would unlock additional revenue streams. The business could also introduce maintenance contracts or recurring service packages to build consistent cash flow beyond project-based work. https://tworld.com/locations/California/ontario-ca/listings/Residential-Commercial-Pool-Construction-and-Repair-Maintenance
Pacific Grove, California
Men's Curated Retail Boutique - Monterey Peninsula
$ 100,000
A rare opportunity to acquire an established men’s retail boutique on the Monterey Peninsula — one of California’s most desirable coastal markets. This is an asset sale for a business in an active stage of growth, with a loyal customer base already in place, a prime Pacific Grove location, and a brand identity that took years to build and would be nearly impossible to replicate from scratch. The business sources limited-run, globally curated menswear from independent vendors around the world, offering customers pieces they simply won’t find anywhere else. A personalized, high-touch shopping experience has built strong word-of-mouth and consistent repeat traffic. Revenue has grown every year since opening in late 2023, reaching over $40,000 in 2025 — all without a formal marketing program. Note: In December 2025, the business incurred significant one-time expenses to open a second Monterey location, which has since been closed. These costs appear in the 2025 financials but do not reflect the ongoing expense structure of this location. The Pacific Grove operation is the core business being offered here. The store occupies approximately 800 square feet in a prime downtown Pacific Grove address under a favorable lease expiring in 2028 — $1,225 per month, all utilities included, no NNN. One part-time employee is in place. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, vendor relationships, a live e-commerce store, social media accounts, and branding assets. The sellers are available for a transition period. Growth upside is significant and straightforward: no marketing program currently exists, e-commerce has room to scale, and in-store events and expanded vendor relationships are natural next steps for a new owner ready to put energy behind a strong foundation. Inventory is in addition to the purchase price, estimated at approximately $40,000 at cost. NDA required. Full financials available to qualified buyers.

California Business Market Insight
California's business landscape varies dramatically by region and category. The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley remain the country's leading hub for technology and professional services, while Los Angeles County's entertainment, retail, and hospitality sectors make it one of the most active markets in the state for restaurant and retail acquisitions. Orange County and San Diego County combine affluent residential demand with strong tourism and biotech industries, driving steady activity in healthcare, franchise, and hospitality categories. The Central Valley — including Fresno, Bakersfield, and Sacramento — remains the state's agricultural backbone, supporting a consistent market for food production, distribution, and agriculture-adjacent businesses. The Inland Empire's logistics and distribution corridor, anchored by its proximity to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, has become an active market for warehouse, transportation, and industrial service businesses. Smaller metro areas and coastal counties continue to support strong demand for laundromats, gas stations, liquor stores, and other everyday-service businesses that anchor local communities throughout the state.
