Nebraska, Iowa
Exterior Contractor - $1.57M Revenue, $175K SDE, Seller Financing
$ 375,000
CF : $ 174,714
Three subcontractor crews handle all field installation, so the business carries no field payroll and owns no crew fleet. Operations run from a home office and two month-to-month storage units - combined facility cost is under $1,700 a year. Roofing accounts for about 60% of revenue and siding about 40%, with gutters, window replacement, and painting completing the mix. Roughly 95% of work is residential, split about 65% insurance-claim and 35% retail across Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa. 2025 revenue was $1,572,447. Seller's discretionary earnings (SDE) were $174,714 in 2025 and $182,471 on a two-year average. The owner works about 30 hours a week across sales, estimating, and project management, at a market replacement salary near $80,000. Field labor runs entirely through subcontractors on a per-job basis, so the cost base scales with demand rather than fixed headcount. A national shingle manufacturer's top contractor-certification tier supports extended warranties that non-certified contractors cannot offer. The CRM, aerial-measurement, and estimating tools transfer with the business, along with the trade name, phone number, website, and impressive Google review rating. The owner believes the retail side is under-marketed relative to the insurance-claim base - a lane a new owner could expand without adding crews. Seller financing is available to qualified buyers. Buyers who sign a confidentiality agreement receive the full Confidential Information Memorandum, with complete financials, customer detail, and transition specifics.

Iowa
Premier High Precision CNC Machine Shop
Call/Email
CF : $ 760,000
The Business is a precision machining business founded in 2001 with two locations in Iowa. For over two decades, the Company has built a reputation for manufacturing complex, tight-tolerance components and assemblies for industrial customers across the Midwest and nationally. It employs approximately 30 skilled machinists and production personnel across its two Iowa locations. The workforce is composed of skilled CNC programmers, setup operators, quality technicians, and administrative staff. The team is experienced with the Company's equipment, workflows, and customer base and is expected to remain in place following a change of ownership. The Company is AS9001D certified, 9001:2015 certified, and ITAR registered, reflecting its commitment to quality management and its ability to serve defense and government-adjacent supply chains. The Business offers a comprehensive suite of precision machining and assembly services. The Company's experienced staff is capable of working with a wide variety of materials — including standard alloys, exotic metals, and plastics — and is dedicated to delivering high-quality parts with tight tolerances and competitive turnaround times. The Business is supported by corporate parent structure for certain back-office functions. It represents an attractive opportunity for a buyer who values a stable, trained workforce in a lower-cost Midwest labor market. DIFFERENTIATION The Business differentiates itself from regional competitors through a combination of broad machining capabilities, multi-axis capacity, quality certifications, and workforce stability. Key differentiators include: • Comprehensive Multi-Axis Machining Platform: It operates 3 & 4-axis milling, mill-turn, turning centers, horizontal milling, and high-volume machining — a capability set that allows the Company to serve a wide range of part geometries and production volumes under one roof. • AS9100D Certification, ISO 9001:2015 Certification, & ITAR Registration: Formal quality management certification and ITAR registration signal to customers that it can meet exacting documentation, traceability, and compliance requirements — requirements that smaller Iowa shops often cannot satisfy. • Assembly Capabilities: Beyond machined components, it offers assembly services ranging from simple press-fit products to more complex mechanical assemblies, broadening its value proposition and enabling deeper integration into customers' supply chains. • Scale Advantage in Iowa Market: With approximately 2x the revenue of the average Iowa machine shop, it brings a level of capacity, equipment depth, and workforce breadth that smaller local competitors cannot match. • Established Northwest Iowa Presence: it has served Northwest Iowa's industrial manufacturing base for over 20 years, building relationships, local brand recognition, and an understanding of regional customer requirements that a new entrant cannot replicate quickly. OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH The Business presents a buyer with multiple organic and strategic growth levers, most of which can be activated without significant capital investment: • Capacity Utilization: The Company currently operates with ample excess capacity on its existing machinery. A buyer with an active sales function or existing customer relationships can immediately increase throughput and revenue by filling available machine time. Additional expansion capability is readily available. • Geographic Expansion of Customer Base: While the Company's core market is Northwest Iowa, its capabilities and certifications are competitive on a regional and national basis. Targeted marketing to OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in adjacent Midwest markets (Nebraska, Minnesota, South Dakota) represents a near-term growth opportunity. • Defense & Aerospace Entry: The Business is ITAR registered, and recently received its AS9100D certification, positioning it to pursue defense and aerospace supply chain opportunities. Given the Company's existing machining capabilities and quality infrastructure, it now has open access to higher-value defense programs — the same market segment that drives premium margins at its other affiliate. • New Industry Verticals: It currently serves primarily industrial customers. Its capabilities are directly applicable to energy (oil & gas, renewables), medical device, and semiconductor equipment sectors — all of which are growing and command higher pricing than general industrial work. • Value-Added Services: Expanding into finishing services (painting, anodizing, plating coordination), kitting, or supply chain management for customers could increase per-order revenue and deepen customer relationships. • Strategic Add-On Acquisitions: A buyer with a roll-up strategy could use the Business as a platform to acquire other Iowa or Midwest machine shops, consolidating the fragmented regional market and achieving scale economies in purchasing, overhead, and sales.

Turnkey Executive Transportation Business | Iowa Market
$ 395,000
Acquire the original operating location of a national franchise brand built around premium, productivity-focused business and leisure travel. This business delivers a "mobile office" and "Gulfstream private jet" experience, on the ground, for professionals and corporate teams traveling 100–400 miles — replacing unproductive driving and inefficient short-haul flights with a high-end, concierge-grade alternative. The Iowa market is where the model was developed and proven. Revenue has been generated entirely through word of mouth and existing relationships, with no dedicated sales or marketing in place. For a relationship-driven owner, that's not a weakness — it's the opportunity. The sale includes a current-generation Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with full branded buildout (~$185K asset value), providing a revenue-ready vehicle from day one. Two additional vehicles are supporting the market currently. Centralized support handles reservations, dispatch, billing, and marketing systems — so the owner can focus on growth, not operations. Additional fleet can be added through leasing or purchase as demand scales. Seller Financing Available for a Well-Qualified Buyer.
