Specialized Pest Detection Business – Trained K-9 Teams
$ 675,000
First of its kind in Tennessee, this established niche inspection business serves the hospitality and tourism markets of East Tennessee using trained K-9 detection teams. Operating since 2008, the company was one of the first of its kind in the United States and has built a strong reputation among hotels, resorts, cabins, and property management companies throughout the Smoky Mountain region, along with select residential customers. The business utilizes professionally trained detection dogs capable of identifying pest activity with significantly greater accuracy than traditional visual inspections. This specialized service model creates a meaningful barrier to entry, as trained K-9 assets, certified handlers, proprietary systems, and long-standing industry relationships require both time and capital to replicate. Revenue is supported by a mix of recurring inspection accounts and on-demand service work, with a significant portion tied to hospitality clients who require routine inspections. The company generates consistent revenue and strong cash flow, supported by a lean operational structure and an experienced team. Trained canine handlers are currently in place and expected to remain following a transition, providing continuity for a new owner. The sale includes trained K-9 assets, service vehicles, movable K-9 kennels and related equipment, proprietary reporting software, established branding, and an active client base. The kennel system is designed to be relocated, allowing flexibility in establishing a new operating location. The business is currently home-based, and multiple housing options exist for the K-9 assets. Buyers may choose to utilize an existing garage, outbuilding, or kennel facility on their own property. Other options include commercial boarding facilities and handler-based arrangements. The current operation is housed within a modest kennel facility, demonstrating that a large footprint is not required. The seller is willing to assist with temporary housing during the transition period while a buyer establishes permanent accommodations. This opportunity is well suited for a pest control company seeking a strategic acquisition, an owner-operator, or an entrepreneur interested in owning a specialized service business. The business currently operates with trained handlers performing the majority of inspection work, while ownership primarily oversees administration, scheduling, and operational support. With the right management structure and personnel in place, the business has the potential to be operated on a semi-absentee basis. Previous pest control experience is not required. Buyers who are comfortable working with dogs and managing day-to-day operations can learn the business through comprehensive seller training and established third-party certification programs. The seller will provide transition support to ensure a smooth onboarding process and is willing to remain available as a consultant following the sale, providing ongoing training, operational guidance, and industry knowledge as needed. Get in touch with Sheila Hansen of Transworld Business Advisors of Knoxville today to request an NDA to learn more about this special business listing. Opportunities exist to expand into new geographic markets, increase marketing efforts, and add additional canine teams to service a broader area. Additional upside includes offering extended hours, emergency/on-call services, and strengthening recurring inspection contracts within the hospitality sector. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/knoxvillechattanooga/listings/Specialized-Pest-Detection-Business-–-Trained-K-9-Teams

Fully Remote Real Estate Wholesaling Franchise
$ 225,000
Established in 2021, this franchised real estate wholesaling business sources off-market residential properties in a large metro area and assigns purchase contracts to a network of cash investors. The company operates under a national franchise brand with locations in more than 20 states, giving the owner access to proven systems, training, and a corporate deal-marketing program that generates buyer leads on every property placed under contract. The business is 100% virtual. There is no office, lease, or physical inventory, and the owner and all six team members work remotely. The current owner operates in a management role at roughly 10 hours per week, focused on hiring, training, and oversight, while the team handles acquisitions, dispositions, and transaction coordination. The recent softening reflects a deliberate step back by the owner and a near-complete team rebuild in the past year, with several team members still inside their first 90 days. The owner is selling to focus on family and other real estate ventures. Seller financing may be considered for a qualified buyer at a higher price point. The clearest growth path is owner engagement. The business produced its strongest results when the owner was active in acquisitions with a smaller team; today it has six trained team members and a larger infrastructure than it did at peak revenue. A buyer willing to commit 20 to 30 hours per week to deal flow and team leadership is well positioned to return to and exceed prior performance. Additional opportunities include expanding the buyer list beyond the current investor base, leveraging the franchisor's buyer-lead program more aggressively, adding creative-finance and novation deal structures, and using the virtual model to scale volume without adding fixed overhead. For an existing Detroit investor, the business also offers first look at every off-market property the team sources. https://tworld.com/locations/Wisconsin/northeast-wisconsin/listings/-Fully-Remote-Real-Estate-Wholesaling-Franchise

Established LA Employer-Side Firm with Monthly Retainer Client
$ 450,000
Established California civil litigation practice focused on employer-side labor and employment defense, available to a qualified California-licensed attorney or firm looking to acquire a running book of business rather than build one. The practice is anchored by a long-term monthly retainer with a business client, currently running into 2028, covering active employment litigation and ongoing general advice. Beyond employment defense, the practice handles business-to-business disputes, class actions, real estate trials, appeals and writs, mediation, and arbitration. An active matter is also approaching mediation. Annual revenue is approximately $700,000 based on bank deposits. The practice operates virtually with no office lease, keeping overhead low, and is supported by one experienced full-time contract paralegal. Financial statements, bank records, and client engagement agreements are assembled and available for review after an NDA. The owner is selling for personal reasons and is committed to a transition period to introduce the buyer to clients and ensure continuity of representation. This is an ideal opportunity for an employment defense attorney or small firm seeking immediate cash flow and an established client relationship. Buyer must be licensed to practice law in California. Proof of funds required. Client notification will be handled in accordance with California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.17. A buyer can grow the practice by replicating its retainer model with additional employer clients, converting one-off matters into recurring monthly engagements. An acquiring firm with its own associates can take on more matters than a solo practice can handle, and can cross-sell the practice's clients into adjacent services such as HR compliance counseling, workplace investigations, or wage-and-hour audits. The practice's appellate and trial experience also supports expansion into higher-value litigation. Marketing has been largely relationship-driven, so a buyer with an active business development program has room to add clients quickly. https://tworld.com/locations/CA/northsangabrielvalley/listings/Established-LA-Employer-Side-Firm-with-Monthly-Retainer-Client

Fast Growing Property Management Franchise
$ 49,000
Skip the grueling trial-and-error of starting a property management business from scratch by stepping into a structured, highly scalable property management franchise with a proven operational blueprint already in place! PRICED LESS THAN THE INITIAL FRANCHISE FEE! This emerging location focuses exclusively on high-demand, long-term rentals, including single-family residential homes, townhomes, condominiums, multiplex units, and smaller apartment complexes. As a full-service operation, the business handles the entire lifecycle of rental property oversight, from tenant placement and daily management to streamlined rent collection and hands-on maintenance coordination. This semi-startup opportunity provides an ambitious entrepreneur with an expansive, completely untapped territory spanning ten lucrative counties across southwestern Michigan. It offers the perfect professional middle ground, combining the high-growth excitement of a new venture with the immediate credibility and corporate support of a major national franchise network. Built specifically for rapid scaling, the business model allows a hands-on owner to initially manage daily operations independently and systematically recruit staff as the portfolio of doors increases. The current ownership group launched the business in mid-2025 and successfully established a rock-solid operational foundation. However, unexpected personal circumstances ultimately prevented them from dedicating the time and focus required to fully scale the territory, leaving a primed runway for a new operator. Want a larger territory? Ask the broker about the additional nearby territory also for sale! To ensure long-term local success, the franchisor prefers a dedicated, community-based owner-operator and will provide comprehensive training and onboarding, though the incoming buyer must secure a standard real estate license prior to closing the transaction. https://tworld.com/locations/Michigan/commonwealth/listings/Fast-Growing-Property-Management-Franchise-
