Description
A long-established, profitable specialty retailer and service provider of fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and chimney systems serving homeowners across Pasadena, the San Gabriel Valley, and the broader greater Los Angeles area. The Company has built a durable, referral-driven business over three decades, generating revenue from new fireplace installations, recurring chimney cleaning and maintenance service calls, and the sale of related parts and accessories. Premium dealer relationships with leading manufacturers support healthy installation gross margins.
The owner is retiring after 33 years of ownership and is offering the business on a turnkey basis. Recent revenue softness reflects reduced owner activity in the pre-retirement window — not a structural decline — and the owner consistently observes that incremental marketing produces an immediate, outsized backlog of inquiries, suggesting meaningful latent demand and a 2x–3x revenue runway for an active operator.

Remote, Wireless and Specialty Film Equipment Package - Owner RET
$ 1,600,000
This sales, rental and service business is selling off its highly specialized, hi-tech film equipment, valued at over $2.5 million for $1.6 million. The equipment includes various types of Remote Heads, and the proprietary mechanical design and software that has gone into creating, servicing and maintaining it. The Company has traditionally monetized the equipment via sales, rentals and service to its broad group of customers. However, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the 2023 SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes, and the destructive 2025 Los Angeles wildfires formed a devastating "triple whammy" that permanently broke Hollywood's traditional economic model. Together, these distinct crises accelerated a massive, historic exodus of physical production away from Southern California and the film industry. The Founder now wishes to retire, and feels the Company’s Remote, Wireless and Specialty Equipment for shooting and filming will make a useful addition to any Buyer involved in commercial videography, filming or shooting sporting events, live performances, or independent creations. https://tworld.com/locations/California/ny/listings/Remote-Wireless-and-Specialty-Film-Equipment-Package-Owner-RET

Boutique Manhattan Beach Therapy Practice · 91% Client Retention
$ 300,000
Established South Bay / Manhattan Beach outpatient mental-health practice. Six contract clinicians serve clients across eight specialties: perinatal, children & teens, family, couples, men's-focused, ADHD, grief, and art therapy. Four of six therapists are Registered Art Therapists (ATR / ATR-BC) — a hard-to-recreate credential concentration. Out-of-network PPO model: cash-pay at time of service; claims and benefits support provided. Operations are asset-light — single-suite footprint, Theranest practice-management, QuickBooks accounting, and clean year-by-year recast financials available under NDA. A differentiated "Feel the Therapist Before You Book" audio-matching model lets prospective clients pre-select clinical fit, supporting a 30-session average length of treatment. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS LTM Revenue: $325,418 LTM Adjusted SDE: $57,009 (17.5% margin) Pro-Forma SDE: $73,809 (22.7% margin) — credits $6K SEO + $10.8K rent savings already implemented Published rates $200–$250 per 50-min for licensed clinicians; $175 for the Associate (Intern AMFT) CLIENT HIGHLIGHTS 148 currently active clients across the six-therapist roster 91% return rate — clients who come back for more than one session 30-session average length of treatment — well above industry norms <3% concentration — long-tail client distribution; no key-client risk Pure cash-pay base — no payer or insurance contract dependency IDEAL BUYER This practice fits three buyer profiles: Practitioner Buyer — Licensed MFT, LCSW, or psychologist stepping into a turn-key profitable practice with an active client roster, established team, and clear growth runway. Regional Roll-Up / Strategic Buyer — Multi-site group, MSO, or platform consolidator using the South Bay as a foothold; cash-pay simplicity, ATR concentration, and the "Feel the Therapist" IP all transfer with the deal. Investor + Practitioner Operator — Capital partner paired with a clinical operator -- Owner is open to supporting a transition. (1) Activate Owner + Marketing → Supply + Demand. Practice runs lean today on residual organic demand; active leadership plus modest marketing dollars unlocks both sides — recruit more contract therapists (supply) and scale content/social for qualified inbound (demand). Single largest value-creation lever. (2) Multi-Channel Marketing — SEO, Content & Social. Scale blog/SEO across high-demand niches (perinatal, teens, men's, family, ADHD, couples, grief); build location-based pages; activate social with therapist-driven audio/video. (3) Scale the "Feel the Therapist" Audio Library. Systematize therapist audio interviews; repurpose across website, blog, social; embed on service pages to drive conversion. (4) Expand Clinical Team — Revenue-Split Capacity Add. Contract structure adds clinicians at near-zero fixed cost; add therapists in undersupplied specialties. (5) Office Expansion — Reactivate a Second Suite for In-Person Growth. Recently-returned Ste 28 ($10.8K/yr saved) can be redeployed as in-person demand grows; in-person sessions are less price-sensitive and stickier. (6) Rate Optimization. Realized rate ~$180 sits below published licensed-clinician avg ~$223; legacy clients rolling to current pricing lifts per-session revenue with zero new acquisition. https://tworld.com/locations/California/northsangabrielvalley/listings/Boutique-Manhattan-Beach-Therapy-Practice-·-91-Client-Retention
