40 Year Profitable Bookkeeping & Tax Services Firm
$ 200,000
CF : $ 90,135
Take over a well-established bookkeeping and tax services firm with a trusted reputation built over more than 40 years in business. The owner is preparing for retirement, creating an excellent opportunity for a buyer to step into a stable, relationship-driven practice with consistent, recurring demand. The business serves a loyal base of long-term clients located throughout the U.S., providing recurring bookkeeping and tax services year after year. Client retention is strong, and revenue has grown steadily through organic means, with approximately 4–5 new clients added annually. New business is generated almost entirely through word-of-mouth referrals, underscoring the firm’s strong reputation, client satisfaction, and trusted relationships. With minimal marketing currently in place, there is meaningful upside for a buyer who wishes to invest in growth, expand service offerings, or scale operations. This opportunity is well suited for a CPA, EA, or experienced accounting professional seeking a turnkey practice with dependable cash flow, flexible operations, and a solid foundation for continued expansion.

High-Performing Smoothie Franchise – $510K Gross, $240K+ Net, Prime Regional Mall
$ 545,000
CF : $ 240,000
This is a rare chance to acquire a high-performing, nationally branded smoothie franchise located in one of North County San Diego’s busiest regional malls. With two major national retailers directly in front of the store, this location enjoys heavy daily foot traffic and strong visibility. The same owner has operated this business successfully for 23 years, making it one of the most stable and proven franchise units in the region. Business Overview This turn-key smoothie franchise offers a simple menu, clean operations, and strong brand support. The owner typically works 10AM–2PM, and the business is currently staffed with 3 part-time employees. If both owners work, no weekday staff is needed. The store is open 355 days per year, closing only three days annually. The mall is bringing in new entertainment uses such as an arcade and boiling-style restaurant, expected to increase foot traffic even further. Financial Summary (2022–2024) Gross Revenue: • Reported: $460K–$470K • Actual: ~$510K/year Net Income (incl. owner payroll): • 2022: $258,500 • 2023: $216,600 • 2024: $253,000 Average Net: ~$240K+ annually Additional Cash: ~$120/day Books are clean, with 80% credit-card sales. Lease & Rent • Current Rent: ~$9,600/month (includes storage + kiosk) • Lease Term Remaining: 2.5 years (no option) • Rent originally $6,000 in 2003 The store has maintained strong profitability despite rent increases due to consistent, high-volume traffic. Franchise Information • Franchise fee: 7% • Strong brand recognition • Simple training and operations • Known as one of the top-performing units in the San Diego region Why This Location Stands Out • 23 years same owner – extremely stable • $510K actual gross revenue • ~$240K+ net income • Anchor stores directly in front • Low staffing requirements • Proven, clean financials • New mall tenants expected to increase sales Ideal for owner-operators or semi-absentee buyers seeking a profitable, reliable franchise with long history and predictable cash flow.

San Diego, California
Relocatable Hospice – San Diego, No ADRs
$ 550,000
This ACHC-accredited hospice agency represents a clean, turnkey platform for a qualified buyer seeking immediate entry into the San Diego County hospice market. Established as a California C-Corporation, the agency is licensed through October 11, 2027 and operates within an approved San Diego County GSA. The office footprint is approximately 1,000 square feet on an annual lease at about $800 per month, providing a low overhead base of operations with the flexibility to relocate the agency, subject to regulatory approval. * The hospice is currently operating with a very low census of one patient, which allows a buyer to step in without inheriting a large, complex case load. The seller reports no current or past ADRs, no liens, judgments, or other business debt, and no historical billing issues. Taxes are up to date. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are included in the sale, offering an efficient physical and administrative set-up for a buyer who wants to focus on growth rather than build-out. The seller reports a CAP of approximately $56,300 total for 2023, 2024, 2025-2026. ** This hospice does not fall under the 36-month Medicare rule, which means a qualified buyer can pursue a change of ownership and begin billing under the existing provider number once CMS and state approvals are in place. Buyers are still expected to verify this status during due diligence and to confirm all regulatory details with their own Medicare consultants, attorneys, and compliance professionals. * Operationally, the agency benefits from standardized policies, procedures, and survey-tested practices consistent with ACHC requirements. The most recent accreditation survey was completed on November 17, 2025, and the agency remains in good standing based on the seller’s disclosures. Existing staff are expected to remain with the buyer, supporting continuity of care, smoother onboarding, and preservation of day-to-day operational know-how, subject to the buyer’s hiring decisions and staff acceptance of new employment terms.* The San Diego County hospice market continues to experience strong long-term demand, driven by an aging population, chronic disease burden, and continued policy and payer support for home- and community-based end-of-life care. Older adults (60+) already represent over 23% of the local population, with the 65+ segment at more than 17%, and these cohorts are projected to continue growing over the coming decade. At the same time, California has one of the largest concentrations of hospice organizations in the country, so buyers must compete on compliance, quality, and referral relationships rather than on licensing status alone. This listing offers a compliant platform with minimal operational baggage, giving an experienced operator the chance to focus on building census and referral pipelines instead of navigating legacy issues.* This opportunity is well suited for an experienced hospice owner, clinical operator, or strategic healthcare group looking for a licensed and accredited hospice shell with minimal liabilities and low fixed costs. The seller will only consider all-cash buyers and will not entertain any SBA 7(a) loans or seller financing structures. All reasonable offers will be reviewed, provided the buyer can demonstrate healthcare experience and verifiable proof of funds. * Seller Preferences: (1) Possess healthcare experience, particularly in operating a hospice agency or similar agency, (2) provide verifiable proof of funds for the transaction, and (3) have access to patient referral sources and a network of licensed healthcare professionals. Seller Recommendations: (1) Buyer should possess the capability to generate patient referrals, (2) Buyer should have access to the necessary professional team members, (3) It is advised that the buyer engages a professional team (e.g., Medicare Consultant, Accountant, Attorney) to assist with due diligence and review processes. Buyer Requirements: (1) All prospective buyers must sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and (2) Proof of Funds is required from all potential buyers. Due Diligence: All in-depth due diligence beyond the Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) will require the Buyer to submit a Purchase Agreement. Disclaimer: The seller is solely responsible for the accuracy of any information provided. Healthcare Biz Brokers, its agents, representatives, or subsidiaries make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or validity of the information shared. Buyers are strongly encouraged to seek advice from their professional advisors (e.g., accountant, attorney, Medicare consultants) and to conduct their own due diligence for verification purposes. If any agreements, contracts, or legal documents are shared with a buyer or seller party, it is the sole responsibility of each respective party to review and seek independent legal counsel before signing any document. Healthcare Biz Brokers, Inc. does not provide legal interpretations, enforceability opinions, or transactional guarantees regarding any document shared during the transaction process. * Buyer to verify due diligence. ** Medicare CAP verification to be done by the Buyer as part of their Due Diligence

Semi- Absentee / Coastal / Membership-Based / Recurring Revenue / Skincare Studio
$ 195,000
CF : $ 126,581
Established skincare studio with a proven membership model generating 38% recurring revenue and systems in place to operate without the owner on-site.

Currently utilizing only 2 of 3 treatment rooms, the business offers immediate upside through expanded hours, light marketing, and increased membership sales.
