Description
The business operates from an approximately 2,400-square-foot, highly visible retail location that supports both walk-in customers and a fleet of 11 fully equipped mobile locksmith service vehicles. Included in the sale are specialized locksmith equipment, automotive key programming and cutting machines, retail showroom fixtures, and the operating assets necessary to continue the business without interruption. The operation is supported by an experienced management team and established systems, allowing the current owner to oversee the business remotely from out of state while spending approximately 16–18 hours per week focused on management, hiring, payroll, and strategic direction.
This opportunity is well suited for an owner seeking a scalable, turnkey service business with established infrastructure, multiple revenue streams, recurring commercial relationships, and significant opportunities for continued growth.
The current owners relocated out of state, creating an opportunity for a local owner-operator or engaged manager to increase oversight and further optimize operations. Management believes the business has significant upside under more active local ownership.
Additional growth opportunities include:
Expanding digital marketing, search engine optimization, and online advertising efforts.
Continuing to grow the commercial customer base while leveraging the company's established reputation.
Increasing operational efficiencies through closer day-to-day management.
Hiring additional technicians to expand service capacity during peak demand.
Expanding utilization of existing dispatch, customer communication, and marketing technology already in place.
Leveraging the company's established storefront location, fleet, equipment, and long-standing community presence to capture additional market share.
These growth opportunities provide a new owner with the ability to build upon an already established foundation while benefiting from decades of goodwill, experienced personnel, and proven operating systems.

$ 1,300,000

Accredited CDL Training School - BPPE & FMCSA
$ 850,000
Established Southern California CDL and DOT compliance training business serving a large and durable commercial driver market. This vocational school offers Class A, B, and C CDL training, corporate and municipal compliance services, and white-label curriculum and technology licensing. The business operates from an established campus with a transferable lease and is positioned in a high-demand transportation, logistics, construction, agriculture, and municipal services corridor. A major competitive advantage is that the business holds transferable state and federal approvals that are difficult and time-consuming for a new entrant to obtain. The school is BPPE approved and registered on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, making it eligible to train entry-level CDL applicants under current federal requirements. Those approvals create a meaningful barrier to entry and strengthen the value of the acquisition. The company operates seven days per week with multiple daily training sessions, supporting stronger capacity utilization and broader student access than many smaller operators. In addition to individual CDL instruction, the business provides fleet compliance training, road test certificates, DOT regulatory support, CHP audit support, and related services for corporate and municipal clients. It also licenses proprietary curriculum, LMS, and CRM tools to third parties, creating a diversified business model with several avenues for expansion. This is a retirement-driven sale. The owner is committed to training the buyer and supporting a smooth transition of operations, relationships, and compliance processes. Assets include the school’s approvals, curriculum, training content, systems, brand assets, website, phone number, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and transferable leasehold position. Existing staff are expected to provide continuity under new ownership. Growth opportunities include expanding corporate and municipal contracts, increasing workforce-development-funded enrollments, adding endorsement programs, growing hybrid delivery, and scaling the white-label licensing platform. This is an attractive opportunity for an operator in vocational education, transportation, compliance, workforce development, or training services seeking an established platform with defensible positioning. Seller financing will be considered for well qualified buyers. https://tworld.com/locations/California/coachellavalley/listings/Accredited-CDL-Training-School-BPPE-FMCSA-

Multi-State Automotive Key & Locksmith Supply Platform
$ 5,000,000
An established automotive key and locksmith supply distribution business is available for acquisition. The Company operates a multi-state platform serving professional locksmiths, asset recovery operators, towing companies, and retail customers through a diversified wholesale and e-commerce model. Founded over six years ago, the business has built a recurring, relationship-driven revenue base, with approximately 70% wholesale sales to repeat B2B customers and the balance through retail and online channels. The core product category, automotive keys and remotes, represents the majority of revenue and benefits from non-discretionary, year-round demand. Operations are supported by a centralized headquarters and warehouse, complemented by regional pickup locations and partnership markets across multiple U.S. states. The Company utilizes proprietary internal software to manage inventory, customers, and orders across all locations and online channels, enabling centralized control with asset-light geographic expansion. The customer base is highly diversified, with long-tenured accounts and no material customer concentration. Demand drivers include vehicle replacement cycles, key loss and theft, repossession and asset recovery activity, and increasing key-technology complexity, supporting durable demand across economic cycles. The owner is open to a full transition of ownership and is willing to support an orderly handover to ensure continuity and knowledge transfer. This opportunity is well-suited for: • Strategic buyers in locksmith, automotive services, or distribution • Private equity or family offices seeking a scalable platform • Operators looking to expand a regional or national footprint Serious inquiries only. Confidentiality agreement required prior to release of financials and company details. https://tworld.com/locations/Arizona/fortlauderdale/listings/Multi-State-Automotive-Key-Locksmith-Supply-Platform

Established Youth Education Franchise – South Orange County
$ 50,000
This is an opportunity to acquire a long-standing, profitable Young Rembrandts franchise operating in South Orange County, one of the most affluent and family-dense regions in California. The program has been operating locally for over 15 years (territory acquired in 2017; program established roughly a decade prior) and benefits from a nationally recognized brand with nearly 30 years of operating history, approximately 100 franchise territories nationwide, and 20,000+ students served annually. Notably, the initial Young Rembrandts franchise fee alone is $44,500, making this an attractive entry point into an already established and operating business, with existing school partnerships, historical operating data, trained instructors, and proven systems in place Young Rembrandts provides curriculum-based, in-school drawing instruction that is widely adopted by elementary schools as a turnkey enrichment program. The brand’s longevity, standardized curriculum, and strong reputation with school administrators have enabled franchisees to build durable, repeat partnerships. The business currently delivers once-weekly, in-school classes during the Fall and Spring semesters, with approximately 15 active school partnerships, roughly half of which are located in Saddleback Valley Unified School District, historically the strongest-performing district in the territory. Following COVID, the business was intentionally streamlined due to the owner’s limited availability. As a result, the business is not operating at the scale it once did—not due to market demand, but due to reduced owner involvement. Historically, the business served approximately 35 schools and, at its peak, over 140 Parks & Recreation locations. The territory remains large, affluent, and proven, and the groundwork—including prior relationships, operating systems, and brand recognition—is already in place. Operations & Staffing · Approximately 5 part-time instructors (lead + assistant structure). · Fall and Spring sessions run 13 weeks each (~32 weeks annually); summers off by seller choice, with clear ability to expand into summer programs. · Minimal owner involvement: approximately 2 months per year (primarily August planning) and <5 hours per week during the active season. Financial Snapshot Annual revenue: approximately $100K–$120K. Annual owner profit: approximately $50K. Figures are from 2024, prior to the owner shifting focus to another business venture, and reflect the last period of meaningful owner involvement. Territory & Expansion Opportunity The franchise territory covers South Orange County, including Tustin, Irvine, Saddleback Valley, and Capistrano Unified School Districts, spanning from Tustin south to Camp Pendleton. The total addressable market includes approximately 207–229 elementary campuses, yet historical penetration peaked at only 10–15% of available schools. This is a compelling opportunity to acquire a proven business with existing clientele, established school relationships, and operating infrastructure in a highly desirable market. With consistent outreach, renewed school partnerships, and modest operational expansion, a new owner can meaningfully scale the business, simply by building upon relationships that have already worked in the past. https://tworld.com/locations/California/beachcitiesandtorrance/listings/Established-Youth-Education-Franchise-–-South-Orange-County
