Description
The school benefits from a loyal base of families and steady enrollment driven almost entirely by WORD-OF-MOUTH-REFERRALS. The owner has intentionally maintained a low‑profile marketing approach, choosing not to invest in digital advertising, social media, or modern communication platforms. As a result, current enrollment reflects the school’s organic demand rather than its full market potential.
A qualified buyer will find multiple avenues for growth and modernization. The facility and program structure offer the opportunity to ADD AN INFANT LICENSE, expand capacity, and increase enrollment. Additionally, implementing DIGITAL COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING PLATFORMS—such as Brightwheel, Procare, or targeted online advertising—can significantly enhance parent engagement, streamline operations, and elevate the school’s visibility within the community.
With its long operating history, strong brand equity, and substantial untapped potential, this Montessori school represents a compelling opportunity for an owner‑operator, educational investor, or strategic buyer seeking a stable, reputable institution with clear pathways for expansion.
The school has been a longstanding Montessori institution in the Arden Arcade area, serving families for many years and maintaining a strong reputation within the community. The current owner has operated the school since 2008, providing continuity, stability, and a consistent educational philosophy for nearly two decades.
Under the owner’s leadership, the school has developed:
A trusted presence in the Arden Arcade neighborhood
Strong word‑of‑mouth referrals
Long‑term relationships with families
A stable operational model with minimal marketing
This long operating history is a key differentiator in the local market and contributes to the school’s strong brand recognition and community trust.
1. Proven Longevity
A school operating successfully since 2008 signals operational resilience, consistent demand, and strong community roots.
2. Brand Equity
Long-term presence builds credibility — a major selling point for buyers evaluating risk and stability.
3. Enrollment Stability
Even without formal marketing, the school has maintained enrollment through reputation alone, which highlights untapped growth potential.
4. Expansion Opportunity
A buyer can modernize operations, add digital communication platforms, and implement marketing strategies to build on an already strong foundation

30+ Year Maintenance Business with Experienced Team
$ 1,500,000
This well-established facility maintenance business has been serving its market for over 34 years, building a strong reputation for reliability, quality service, and long-term client relationships. The company has grown organically through trade shows, industry memberships, and word-of-mouth referrals, resulting in a loyal and recurring commercial customer base. The business operates with a seasoned team of 8 full-time employees, 4 part-time employees, and 1 contractor providing operational stability and reducing the need for heavy owner involvement. Known as a “one-stop shop,” the company offers a wide range of services including general maintenance, landscaping, cleaning, and additional facility-related solutions. This diversified service offering allows the business to retain clients longer and generate multiple revenue streams from the same accounts. A key strength of the business is its strong base of recurring revenue. The company maintains ongoing service agreements and repeat work with long-term commercial clients who rely on consistent maintenance, landscaping, and cleaning services. These relationships have been built over decades and provide predictable, stable income month-to-month. Many clients utilize multiple service lines, further increasing account value and customer retention while reducing dependency on one-time project work. Included in the sale are approximately $612,000 in assets, supporting a turnkey transition for a new owner. The seller is highly motivated to ensure continued success and is willing to provide an extended transition period. Additionally, the seller is open to remaining involved as an employee if desired, offering valuable continuity and relationship management. Seller financing may also be available for qualified buyers. This business stands out from competitors due to its longevity, strong reputation, experienced workforce, and ability to provide comprehensive services under one roof. While many competitors specialize in a single service line, this company’s integrated approach creates a competitive advantage and higher customer retention. Significant growth opportunities exist, particularly in expanding into new home installations and increasing market share within existing service lines. A buyer with a California contractor’s license (CSLB) or the ability to obtain one will be well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and scale the business further. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a stable, recession-resistant service business with a proven track record, recurring revenue, and substantial upside potential. https://tworld.com/locations/California/redding/listings/30-Year-Maintenance-Business-with-Experienced-Team

SBA Lender Pre-Qualified Farmers Agency — $579K Revenue/$276K SDE
$ 1,350,000
Rare opportunity to acquire a top-performing Farmers Insurance agency in one of Sacramento's most desirable areas. This long-established agency, originally founded in the early 1990s and acquired by the current owner in 2013, has delivered three consecutive years of accelerating revenue growth, culminating in 20% year-over-year growth in 2025. The agency manages over $4.3 million in total written premium across 1,919 policies spanning Auto, Homeowners, Life, Commercial, and specialty lines. Revenue reached $578,673 in 2025, with CPA-verified Seller's Discretionary Earnings of $275,555, representing a 47.6% SDE margin. This is not a typical captive agency. In addition to the core Farmers book, the agency operates a diversified independent brokerage platform generating approximately $100,000 in additional annual commissions across 150+ policies. This hybrid model provides meaningful revenue diversification and an established platform for continued growth. The agency benefits from established referral relationships and a strong local reputation, driving high-quality inbound opportunities. Retention is strong, with 100% Fire/Homeowners retention and 93% Life retention. Q1 2026 year-to-date retention was 96.87%, demonstrating continued momentum. The book added 85 new policies and a net increase of 23 policies in force through March 2026. The agency comes staffed with four employees, including three licensed team members and one support/marketing role. Established systems and operating infrastructure are in place, providing a turnkey platform for an approved buyer. The seller is approaching retirement and is committed to a comprehensive three-month post-close transition and training period to support continuity of client relationships, staff retention, and a successful ownership transition. The business has received preliminary SBA lender prequalification at the full $1,350,000 asking price based on a lender review of the agency's historical financial information. The preliminary structure contemplates SBA 7(a) financing, subject to buyer qualification, lender and SBA underwriting, business valuation, Farmers approval, collateral requirements, and other customary conditions. This acquisition is particularly well-suited for an existing Farmers agency owner seeking to expand within the applicable Farmers district. All purchasers remain subject to Farmers' licensing, geographic, district, location, and agency approval requirements. All financials are CPA-verified. NDA and buyer qualification are required before receiving the full Confidential Information Memorandum. Contact: Todd Eichman, Managing Partner — Transworld Business Advisors — teichman@tworld.com | 916-281-5838 Growth opportunities include expanding the agency’s independent brokerage platform, which already generates approximately $100K in annual commission revenue across 150+ policies through NowCerts; scaling commercial lines, which grew 37.6% year-over-year; cross-selling the existing 1,919-policy book; leveraging California and Nevada licensing for cross-border growth; and increasing digital marketing and online lead capture. The agency’s hybrid Farmers plus independent brokerage model provides a strong platform for retaining clients when Farmers is not the best fit and creating additional revenue opportunities beyond a traditional captive-only agency. https://tworld.com/locations/California/saccentralnapavalley/listings/SBA-Lender-Pre-Qualified-Farmers-Agency-—-579K-Revenue-276K-SDE

40-Year Sacramento Appliance Distributor — SBA Pre-Approved
$ 825,000
40-Year Sacramento Appliance Distributor — SBA Pre-Approved, $1.4M+ Pre-Sold Backlog Representing a staple of the Sacramento business community, this asset-rich appliance distribution and retail center is available for the first time in approximately 40 years. This is not a "potential-based" listing; it is a "straight-facts" acquisition opportunity with a record-breaking 2024 revenue of $3.23M, verified by IRS tax returns. The business operates as a critical partner to a vast network of local contractors and developers, providing a defensible moat that big-box retailers cannot penetrate. The sale includes an expanding pre-sold contractor backlog—now exceeding $1.4 million—that transfers to the buyer on Day 1, ensuring immediate cash flow and operational momentum from the moment of closing. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS -SBA Pre-Approved: This opportunity has undergone an initial SBA financing pre-screen and is formally pre-qualified for 7(a) acquisition financing. Preliminary analysis indicates sufficient cash flow to support the $825,000 purchase price, with eligibility for an SBA loan amount covering 90% of the total project cost over a 10-year term. -$1.4M+ Pre-Sold Backlog: As of late March 2026, the pre-sold pipeline has grown from $974K to over $1.4 million. This self-replenishing pipeline contains hundreds of thousands in locked-in gross profit, providing a built-in safety net for a new owner from the moment of closing. -Asset-Heavy Value: Priced at $825,000, the deal is heavily weighted toward hard assets. With an adjusted inventory and equipment floor of over $744,000, the buyer is paying only approximately $81,000 in goodwill — less than half a year's weighted earnings — for a 40-year legacy. The listing price is supported by an independently calculated floor value of $744,079. -Record Revenue: 2024 marked the highest gross receipts in company history at $3.23M. Three consecutive years of IRS-verified revenue above $3 million — 2022, 2023, and 2024 — confirm the business's consistency and resilience. -Strategic Location: Operating from a high-visibility showroom on a major Sacramento thoroughfare, the business benefits from decades of organic foot traffic and professional contractor pickups. REASON FOR SALE After four decades of successful operation, the founding owner is seeking retirement. The seller is committed to a thorough transition period to ensure the long-term success of the contractor relationships and staff stability. FINANCIAL SUMMARY --Asking Price: $825,000 --2024 Revenue: $3,234,907 (IRS Verified) --Weighted SDE: $180,424 (3-year average, 2022–2024) --Inventory (Included): ~$847,000 (Adjusted) --Established: c. 1946 NOTE ON 2025 EARNINGS The 2025 Seller's Discretionary Earnings of $15,802 reflects an accounting timing difference specific to this business model — not operational decline. Under the contractor presold model, revenue and profit are recognized only upon delivery. As of late Q1 2026, the pre-sold pipeline contains over $1.4 million in contracted orders awaiting delivery. The profit from these orders does not appear on the 2025 P&L but will be recognized in 2026 as deliveries occur. A buyer who closes this acquisition inherits the right to that profit on Day 1. Full detail and supporting documentation are provided in the Confidential Information Memorandum. This listing is confidential. A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement is required to receive the business name, address, and full financial package including four years of IRS-verified tax returns, the lender-adjusted valuation report, formal SBA pre-approval terms, and the presold pipeline detail.

NEWYORK, NY
Established Manhattan Childcare Brand with 18-Year Reputation
$ 75,000
An exceptional opportunity to acquire the name, reputation, client base, and operating knowledge of a well-established childcare business serving Manhattan families since 2008. This New York State-licensed Group Family Day Care has earned the trust of local parents by providing compassionate, personalized care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a warm, family-like environment. The program emphasizes healthy development through age-appropriate learning, reading, music, creative activities, indoor and outdoor play, and close communication with parents. Its longstanding presence and strong reputation give a new owner a valuable foundation from which to rebuild and grow. Please note that the business currently operates from the owner’s residence; therefore, the buyer must relocate the program and secure a suitable location, along with all required licensing and regulatory approvals. This opportunity is best suited for an experienced childcare provider, educator, or entrepreneur who already has access to an appropriate space—or who has the financial resources to establish one. The seller is willing to provide up to 4 weeks of training and transition assistance, helping the buyer learn the program and become acquainted with the families. A longer-term, paid consulting arrangement may also be negotiated if the new owner would like additional support. This is not a traditional facility-based daycare acquisition; it is an opportunity to carry forward an established childcare legacy while creating the next chapter in a new location. Miss Adela Tapia’s Childcare’s strongest growth opportunity is relocating to a larger, appropriately licensed facility that accommodates more children and achieves enrollment levels to offset higher rent. A buyer could leverage the established name, reputation, proven program and family relationships. Additional opportunities include extending hours/after‑school services, developing pre‑K or bilingual enrichment, pursuing extra licensing or satellite sites, partnering with employers/schools, and enhancing marketing and digital enrollment. https://tworld.com/locations/NY/ny/listings/Established-Manhattan-Childcare-Brand-with-18-Year-Reputation

Own THE name in Children's Summer Camp
$ 184,900
This franchise is the option for summer camps in the area. This turnkey, owner-operator-ready children's day camp runs themed weekly summer programming plus before/after extended care, backed by an established national franchise system's training, systems, and marketing support. The business has built a loyal, repeat-family customer base. The current season's revenue grew 6.1% versus prior year, with a 44% year-to-date cash-flow margin versus 22% for the full prior season. Low overhead, documented operating procedures, and seasonal-only staffing make this a strong fit for a hands-on owner-operator looking for a franchise-backed business with a condensed operating season and clear room to grow. Acquisition Cost is $184,900 + $10,000 Franchise Transfer Fee Enrollment grew from 241 campers in FY25 to 272 unique campers in FY26. A total of 789 week-slots were sold. Campers attended an average of 2.9 weeks, and 168 campers (62%) enrolled for multiple weeks. Capacity was limited late in the year due to staffing decisions. Increasing staffing alone would allow for more capacity and further growth. https://tworld.com/locations/Michigan/annarbor/listings/Own-THE-name-in-Children-s-Summer-Camp
