Custom Plastics Manufacturer - 50+Year History
$ 1,100,000
Established custom plastics extrusion manufacturer with over 50 years of operating history serving a stable base of industrial customers. The business specializes in manufacturing engineered, application-specific plastic components that are embedded into customer products and processes, resulting in recurring revenue and long-standing relationships that in many cases span decades. The company operates with 22 employees and is not owner dependent. Day-to-day operations are managed by a long-tenured general manager and experienced team, with the owner having limited involvement. The general manager is willing to remain for a transition period of 12 - 24 months to ensure continuity. Revenue is driven by repeat production programs supported by customer-specific tooling, which creates switching costs and supports revenue durability. The company maintains a debt free balance sheet and strong cash flow. Operations are conducted from a 16,000 square foot facility with available capacity for future growth. The real estate is owned by the seller and may be included in the transaction or leased, providing flexibility for different buyer profiles. All real estate matters will be handled by Transworld Business Advisors of Schaumburg's partner and managing real estate brokerage in compliance with Illinois real estate law. This opportunity is well suited for a strategic buyer seeking to expand capacity or capabilities, or for an owner operator or financial buyer looking to acquire a highly profitable manufacturing platform with recurring revenue, institutional operations, and multiple avenues for growth. A strategic buyer can drive growth by leveraging existing customer relationships to introduce new programs and increase capacity utilization. The platform is well suited for expansion into adjacent industries requiring precision plastic components, including healthcare and industrial applications. Additional opportunities exist through add-on acquisitions in a fragmented market. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/schaumburg/listings/Custom-Plastics-Manufacturer-50Year-History

26-Year Established Deck & Patio Restoration Business
$ 125,000
$270,000 Revenue | $72,900 SDE | Low Overhead | 5 Subcontractors Turnkey established exterior maintenance business serving homeowners throughout Kane County and surrounding communities. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a 26-year-old deck and patio power washing, staining, and sealing business with an established reputation, proven operating history, and a simple, low-overhead business model. The company specializes in power washing and staining residential decks and power washing and sealing patios and outdoor hardscapes. These services help homeowners maintain, protect, and improve their outdoor living spaces while extending the useful life of their decks and patios. The business generates approximately $270,000 in annual revenue and $70,000 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE). The company operates with no W-2 employees, utilizing a network of five experienced subcontractors to perform the field work. This structure provides the owner with flexibility while limiting the fixed overhead associated with maintaining a larger employee workforce. Business Highlights 26 years in business Approximately $270,000 annual revenue Approximately $70,000 SDE Kane County, Illinois service area No employees Established network of 5 subcontractors Specializes in deck power washing and staining Patio power washing and sealing Established customer base and reputation with 50% repeat business Low-overhead business model Limited inventory requirements Strong potential for repeat and referral business Ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or existing home-service company Significant Growth Potential The business provides an excellent foundation for a buyer looking to grow a proven service operation. The current owner has built a business with more than two decades of operating history, but a new owner could potentially increase revenue through more aggressive marketing and sales efforts. Growth opportunities include: Google and digital advertising Improving and expanding the company's online presence Increasing customer reviews and referrals Direct-mail and neighborhood marketing Developing relationships with landscapers and deck contractors Referral partnerships with painters, real estate agents and property managers Expanding the geographic service area Adding complementary exterior cleaning and maintenance services Increasing repeat-service scheduling Utilizing technology to improve estimating, scheduling and customer follow-up Ideal Buyer The business would be an excellent acquisition for an individual looking for an established, owner-operated service business, an existing pressure-washing or exterior-maintenance company seeking to expand, or an entrepreneur looking for a business with an established market presence and relatively low fixed overhead. An existing home-service company could also potentially achieve significant synergies by adding these customers and services to its existing operation. Why Buy This Business? Starting a service business from scratch requires years of developing a reputation, establishing a customer base, developing reliable subcontractor relationships, and learning the market. This opportunity provides a buyer with 26 years of operating history and an established business model from day one. With approximately $270,000 in annual revenue, $70,000 in SDE, no employees, and five established subcontractors, this business offers an attractive combination of established operations, low overhead, and multiple opportunities for future growth. A great opportunity for an entrepreneur or strategic buyer to acquire an established Kane County home-service business and build upon its 26-year foundation. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/lagrange/listings/26-Year-Established-Deck-Patio-Restoration-Business

stablished Physical Therapy Practice – 30+ Years in Kane County
$ 249,000
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, owner-operated physical therapy practice serving Kane County and the surrounding western suburbs for more than 30 years. The practice has built a strong reputation around personalized, hands-on care and individualized treatment, creating long-standing relationships within the local healthcare community and a consistent source of patient referrals. The practice provides individualized rehabilitation and wellness services for patients of varying ages and treats a broad range of orthopedic, sports-related, post-surgical, work-related, and mobility conditions. Treatment is tailored to each patient and may incorporate manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, patient education, balance activities, and other established physical therapy techniques. The facility includes four private treatment rooms, allowing patients to receive care in a comfortable and professional setting. The practice's emphasis on individualized attention differentiates it from larger, higher-volume therapy environments and has helped establish its reputation in the community. An important strength of this opportunity is its established referral network. Referral relationships have been developed over decades and are tied to the practice and its reputation, rather than solely to the current owner. The seller is committed to a smooth transition and will personally introduce the buyer to key referral sources and professional relationships to help maintain continuity following the sale. The current owner is a practicing physical therapist and has operated the business for approximately 33 years. She is willing to remain involved after the transaction for an agreed-upon period, providing the incoming owner with valuable continuity, introductions, and operational knowledge. This opportunity would be particularly well suited for a licensed physical therapist or hands-on owner-operator looking to acquire an established practice rather than building one from the ground up. With decades of operating history, an established patient and referral base, private treatment space, and a seller committed to the transition, a new owner can step into a proven practice with a strong foundation already in place. Growth opportunities include expanding digital marketing and social media presence, strengthening outreach to physicians and other healthcare providers, and building additional referral partnerships throughout Kane County. A new owner could also expand treatment hours, add additional therapists or services, and increase utilization of the existing private treatment rooms. With an established reputation and referral base already in place, a hands-on owner could focus on increasing patient volume while maintaining the personalized care the practice is known for. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/stcharles/listings/stablished-Physical-Therapy-Practice-–-30-Years-in-Kane-County

Triple Threat: Brokerage, Transportation & FDA Warehousing
$ 2,250,000
Established logistics platform offering integrated freight brokerage, asset-based transportation, and FDA-registered warehousing services. The company serves regional and national food and consumer packaged goods clients through long-standing relationships, several exceeding 20 years, creating a stable and repeatable revenue base. Operations are anchored by a 100,000 square foot warehouse facility, a dedicated asset-based fleet, and cloud-based tracking and reporting systems that provide real-time visibility across transportation and storage activity, supporting efficient execution, strong customer retention, and consistent demand across brokerage, transportation, and warehousing services. The business is positioned as a trusted Midwest logistics partner with a diversified service offering and proven operating history. The asking price includes the stand-alone warehouse asset, which has an estimated value of $1,150,000, and the warehousing entity may be acquired independently by a buyer focused on storage and distribution operations. Ownership is also open to structured offers for the transportation and express divisions, including a combination of cash at closing, seller note financing, and performance-based consideration, with recent discussions for this portion of the business indicating a value of approximately $1,100,000. This opportunity is well-suited for strategic buyers seeking a platform investment, expansion into the Midwest, or the ability to acquire specific divisions based on operational focus. Significant upside exists through expansion of the warehousing footprint to capture increasing demand from food and consumer packaged goods clients, along with targeted investment in fleet capacity to support growth across high-demand lanes. The business is also well positioned to leverage its existing cloud-based tracking and reporting systems to strengthen its 3PL capabilities, improve shipment and warehouse visibility, and attract larger accounts with more complex logistics needs. Additional opportunities include regional expansion into neighboring Midwest markets and deeper penetration within existing customer relationships, particularly those with long-standing tenure, as well as developing partnerships with emerging food and consumer brands seeking reliable transportation and FDA-compliant storage solutions. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/schaumburg/listings/Triple-Threat:-Brokerage-Transportation-FDA-Warehousing

Boarding, approved by the landlord, is a major untapped opportunity at $55-$60 per night.

Industrial Supplies Distributor | 25 Years in Business
$ 550,000
Established industrial supplies distributor located in Northeast Kane County, Illinois, serving a diverse base of manufacturing and industrial customers. Founded in 2001, the Company has built a strong reputation for reliability, technical expertise, and consistent service within the finishing and abrasives industry. The business operates as a full-service stocking distributor of abrasive and non-abrasive blast media, finishing materials, and related equipment. In addition to product sales, the Company provides value-added services including equipment repair and maintenance, remanufacturing, job shop services (deburring, blasting, and surface finishing), sample processing, and equipment rental. This integrated model supports repeat business and long-term customer relationships. Operations are based out of a 10,400 sq ft facility with approximately 2 years remaining on the current lease. The landlord has been cooperative and is open to working with a new owner. The business is supported by a reliable, experienced team expected to remain in place post-sale. The industrial supplies and consumables sector benefits from consistent, recurring demand tied to ongoing manufacturing activity, making this a stable and resilient industry. There is a clear opportunity for growth, particularly through the addition of dedicated sales efforts and expanded customer outreach. The owner unexpectedly passed away in 2025 and the business is now being offered for sale by the spouse, who was not involved in day-to-day operations and has chosen to sell to ensure continuity rather than wind down the business. This opportunity is well-suited for a buyer with industry experience or an existing operator looking to expand, offering the ability to step into an established business with a loyal customer base and grow through increased sales efforts and operational efficiencies. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/lagrange/listings/Industrial-Supplies-Distributor-25-Years-in-Business
