Description
This is far more than a traditional frame shop. The business offers full-service custom framing and specializes in conservation framing, shadowboxes, canvas stretching, jerseys, object framing, multiple openings and unique custom projects. Customers value the tremendous selection as well as the hands-on design expertise that helps them create something truly special. With decades of history, an established customer base, stellar reviews and a reputation for outstanding quality and client care, this is a wonderful opportunity for a creative entrepreneur or an existing framing, art, design or home décor business looking to expand. The foundation has already been built—the next owner can step in and carry a trusted local business into its next chapter.
Significant opportunity exists for a new owner to grow this already profitable business, as the current owners have relied primarily on word-of-mouth, repeat clientele and their outstanding Yelp and online reviews, with very little active marketing. Industry trends continue to favor personalized home décor, custom framing, gallery walls, memorabilia preservation and meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces, while online customization and digital ordering are creating additional avenues for growth. A new owner could capitalize on the business’s stellar reputation and loyal customer base through targeted digital and social media marketing, stronger utilization of its outstanding Yelp reviews, an enhanced online presence, partnerships with interior designers, artists, photographers and local businesses, and expanded online ordering and design services. With decades of goodwill already established, there is meaningful opportunity to introduce modern marketing strategies and reach an entirely new generation of customers without changing the personalized service and craftsmanship that have made the business successful.

Established Disaster Restoration & Remediation Business
$ 2,100,000
This established disaster restoration and remediation company serves a mix of residential and commercial customers throughout the Northwest Chicago suburbs. The business provides a comprehensive range of property recovery services, including water damage mitigation, structural drying, mold remediation, fire and smoke cleanup, specialty cleaning, contents handling, environmental remediation, and reconstruction support. The company has developed a strong operating platform supported by an experienced production team, commercial-grade restoration equipment, service vehicles, established subcontractor relationships, and documented processes for project scheduling, claims coordination, customer communication, and field execution. An experienced Operations & Production Manager oversees day-to-day operations, supported by multiple Crew Chiefs and Production Technicians, reducing the owner's involvement in daily field supervision. The business operates from a professionally equipped facility that supports administrative functions, equipment storage, vehicle staging, dispatch, and project execution. The operation is well positioned to respond quickly to emergency restoration needs while managing multiple active projects across its service area. Financial performance has demonstrated consistent growth, with revenue increasing from $1.77 million in 2023 to $2.12 million in 2025. The company has also maintained attractive gross margins while continuing to invest in its team, equipment, and operating infrastructure. This opportunity provides a buyer with an established platform in an essential, needs-based service industry with recurring demand driven by water intrusion, fire damage, mold, environmental issues, property turnover, and insurance-related restoration needs. The business may be attractive to an existing restoration, construction, environmental services, or home services operator seeking to expand its presence in the greater Chicago market. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/schaumburg/listings/Established-Disaster-Restoration-Remediation-Business

Code Ninjas Franchise — Turnkey Center in Affluent DuPage Cty
$ 280,000
Rare opportunity to acquire an established Code Ninjas — the world's largest kids coding franchise (300+ centers) — serving one of Chicagoland's most affluent, education-obsessed western suburban markets in DuPage County. This is a turnkey center with approximately $282,000 invested: a brand-new 2025 build-out ($150K), $25K of equipment, $80K furniture and fixtures, and and $27K protected franchise territory rights. The center relocated in May 2025 to a right-sized 1,600 sq ft space at just $3,800/month NNN — cutting occupancy costs roughly in half and setting up a lean go-forward cost structure. Building a comparable new Code Ninjas runs $177K–$385K per the franchisor's FDD, plus 18–24 months of ramp with zero students and zero revenue. The center generated $300,844 of revenue and approximately $113K of seller's discretionary earnings in 2024, demonstrating what the location can do at full enrollment. Trailing-twelve-month revenue is $190K with roughly break-even earnings following the relocation year — a clear recovery play for a hands-on owner-operator willing to rebuild core enrollment on a proven platform. Revenue is anchored by recurring coding memberships plus a strong ~$44K/year summer and day-camp business, supported by durable community relationships, including: *A multi-year partnership with a leading local park district (camps, day camps and clubs) *A high-school internship program with a top-rated public school district's career office *STEM mini-course programs across the district's elementary schools These channels provide enrollment pipeline, local credibility, and B2B program revenue that a new build could not replicate. The sale includes all FF&E, the 2025 leasehold build-out, and franchise rights. The franchisor provides comprehensive training and onboarding for new owners; the seller will provide 20 business days of transition training. Seller financing is available for a qualified buyer. Ideal for a first-time owner-operator, an existing children's-education franchisee adding a territory, or an education-minded entrepreneur. Confidential details — including exact location, financial statements, and partner agreements — are available upon signing an NDA and buyer qualification. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/northsangabrielvalley/listings/Code-Ninjas-Franchise-—-Turnkey-Center-in-Affluent-DuPage-Cty

Established, Profitable, Independent Insurance Agency for Sale
$ 1,150,000
Wildly successful independent insurance agency for sale with minimum 35%+ year over year growth since 2020 focusing on mainly personal auto insurance AND a separate revenue stream (i.e. car registration that makes up 46% of revenue) located next to a DMV. We repeat that almost 50% of the revenue of this business comes from car registration sales. For those looking for only a book of insurance business to transfer without this additional revenue stream being taken into consideration, this business is not for you and will not value out based on typical insurance agency metrics. With excellent reviews, this agency has managed to sell and secure over 1,700 policies and 3,700+ customers with direct appointments (no aggregator) located in a southwest suburb of Cook County. Please also note there is a decent amount of non-standard policies within the book of business that is being sold, i.e. 25% standard / 75% non-standard. Carriers included, but are not limited to: Progressive, Nationwide, Berkshire Hathaway (Guard), Hartford, First Chicago, and Foremost. It comes with an excellent, affordable office space. Word of mouth has been their only source of growth so there is still tremendous room to grow with marketing. 2025 gross revenue was over $750k with $370k+ in SDE. Speaking Arabic would be an absolute plus, but not necessary based on the clientele and location of the agency. This an excellent tack on for a buyer that already has an agency and/or it can be rebranded as needed. The seller's preferences would be a buyer that already knows the insurance industry, but it can also serve as a massive head start for someone trying to break into the insurance industry. Inquire within for more information. PREFERRED CASH OR CONVENTIONAL LENDING BUYER FUNDING. Limitless. The agency is just getting going as of late and have just scratched the surfaced of their immediate marketing area. This is also with very minimal marketing. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/lagrange/listings/Established-Profitable-Independent-Insurance-Agency-for-Sale

Established Construction Firm with Cabinet/Millwork Capability
$ 1,999,999
Confidential opportunity to acquire a reputable, profitable turnkey construction business providing commercial general contracting with strong self perform capabilities. The company's long standing reputation is based on reliable project execution and quality craftsmanship, supported by an experienced field team and in-house carpentry/finish expertise. Established in 1956 by two brothers, Rosewood was acquired by the next generation of brothers in 1985 and continue its excellence in contracting with a specialty in the RETAIL and RESTAURANT FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRIES. Real Estate Available. Rosewood Construction is well positioned for growth: owning a 10,000 sq ft cabinet and millwork plant and staffing in-house carpenters, metal stud and drywall crews, and finish carpenters gives the company strong vertical integration, tighter quality control, faster turnaround, and better margin capture than many competitors. To scale, Rosewood can pursue higher-value commercial tenant-improvement and multifamily contracts that favor reliable millwork and finish capabilities, expand prefinished/modular millwork product lines for repeatable revenue, target design-build projects to leverage in-house coordination, and offer maintenance or service agreements to create recurring income. Marketing the advantage of a principal-led, single-source delivery and investing modestly in production automation, digital estimating/CAD for shop-to-field workflow, and selective geographical expansion will accelerate market share while preserving the hands-on quality that differentiates the firm. Currently, we rely on word of mouth referrals and there is not a website. Potential growth with a more robust social media and online presence. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/deerfield/listings/Established-Construction-Firm-with-Cabinet-Millwork-Capability
