Northeast Ohio Custom Solar Installer, 54% Margin
$ 290,900
Northeast Ohio Custom Solar Installer, 54% Margin $151,934 Annual Revenue at a 54.1% SDE Margin from Site-Specific Residential and Commercial Solar Installations Across Two Ohio Regions Business Description Custom system design is the operational foundation. Residential and commercial clients across Northeast and Southeast Ohio receive site-specific solar electric systems sized to their property dimensions, energy consumption patterns, and budget parameters. No standardized packages move through this operation. Each project runs from initial consultation through permitted installation under Ohio electrical code requirements. Supplier relationships built since 2020 provide wholesale-competitive pricing on panels, racking components, and wiring. $13,800 in racking and wiring inventory is on hand for active projects. Every completed installation carries a one-year workmanship warranty and 25-year material warranties as standard terms. Those warranty commitments reflect the compliance standards the business operates under across both service regions. The cost structure stays lean. One employee. A leased office. A 30x40 storage facility. No owned real estate. That structure produces $82,186 in SDE on $151,934 in annual revenue, a 54.1% margin that reflects low fixed overhead relative to project revenue. Ohio permitting workflows and electrical code compliance processes are documented and in current use across both service regions. A buyer acquires the supplier network, active project pipeline, customer records, $13,800 in inventory, and $6,000 in FF&E. The operational infrastructure supporting current revenue transfers at closing for $290,900. Business History Stark County was the original service area when the company launched in 2020. Client demand drove geographic expansion into Southeast Ohio as the residential installation base grew and commercial project inquiries increased. Commercial system design capability was added to the original residential service model during that expansion period. The business reached $151,934 in revenue for 2024 with $82,186 in SDE. Profitability held from the first year of operation through the current period. The one-employee structure has supported that revenue level throughout five years of active operation. The business is offered for sale due to the owner pursuing other ventures. Potential Growth and Expansion Cleveland and Columbus metropolitan areas fall outside the current service footprint. Entering either market requires no additional equipment or facility investment beyond what transfers at closing. Battery storage add-ons attach directly to new and existing installations. The current supplier network supports battery storage procurement without new vendor development. Completed installations represent an untapped recurring revenue base. Annual maintenance and monitoring agreements convert existing clients to contract revenue without new customer acquisition. EV charging station installation draws on the same electrical work competency the business currently applies to solar projects. Residential and commercial EV charging demand across Ohio is growing. Solar financing partnerships with lending programs expand the addressable client pool. Buyers who cannot fund full installation costs upfront become eligible clients when financing is available. Competitive Overview The residential solar market reached $94.2 billion in 2024 and is growing at 7.9% annually. The installation sector added nearly 18 gigawatts of capacity in the first half of 2025 alone. System costs have declined 70% since 2010. The federal 30% investment tax credit remains active, reducing net installation cost across all client segments and sustaining demand independent of energy price fluctuations. Local competition in the custom solar installation segment across Stark County and the broader Northeast Ohio market remains limited. National installers operate in the region through standardized system designs and centralized project management teams that do not provide the site-specific design work this business delivers. An independent installer with five years of permitted project history, established supplier pricing, and documented compliance workflows across two Ohio regions holds a position that a new market entrant cannot replicate without years of operational development. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $151,934 with SDE of $82,186 (54.1% margin) Founded in 2020, five years of continuous operation in Northeast Ohio 1 employee; leased office and 30x40 storage facility in Stark County Inventory of $13,800 in racking components and wiring included FF&E of $6,000 included in the sale Service area spans Northeast and Southeast Ohio Direct expansion paths to Cleveland and Columbus require no additional equipment Reason for sale is other ventures; operations remain active Financials Summary Annual Revenue $151,934 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $82,186 SDE Margin 54.1% Asking Price $290,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 3.54x Inventory $13,800 (included) FF&E $6,000 (included) Revenue Trend Growing year over year Ideal Buyer Profile $290,900 covers the full purchase price including inventory and FF&E with no additional real estate outlay required. Construction, electrical, or project management experience shortens the technical learning curve but is not a hard requirement for entry. The right buyer manages client consultations, coordinates permitting across Ohio jurisdictions, and oversees installations from site assessment through final inspection. Active daily involvement in project management and client communication is required at the current one-employee staffing level. A buyer with existing trade relationships or a sales background in construction or energy accelerates revenue growth through the identified expansion channels from the first month of ownership.

Established Tanning and Wellness Salon in Stark County, Ohio.
$ 124,900
Stark County Wellness Salon, 95% Membership Revenue 95% Recurring Membership Revenue Generates $115,911 Annually from a 2,400 Square Foot Multi-Service Personal Care Facility Business Description Monthly membership billing drives this operation. Clients commit to recurring tanning packages at discounted subscription rates, producing consistent cash flow that holds independent of seasonal fluctuations or walk-in traffic patterns. That structure accounts for 95% of $115,911 in annual revenue. Spray tanning services and retail hair care products generate the remaining 5%. The revenue model is predictable by design and has performed consistently across more than two decades of Stark County operation. The 2,400 square foot facility sits in an established high-traffic retail plaza. Fifteen tanning beds, a stand-up unit, a red light therapy station, and a custom spray tan room with professional application equipment occupy the space. Every piece of equipment is operational and transfers with the sale. Point-of-sale systems and the full customer membership database transfer as well. The all-in monthly lease of $2,325 covers insurance, maintenance, and property taxes with no variable facility expenses layered on top. Staff manages daily operations under documented systems. Current ownership involvement runs approximately 20 hours per week. That time commitment reflects a business that operates on procedure rather than owner presence, making semi-absentee management achievable with a qualified person handling floor operations. The acquisition transfers the membership base, all operational equipment, point-of-sale systems, customer records, and Proctor site status. That designation allows the new owner to complete tanning certification on premises through a 4-hour course. No off-site training is required. Business History Stark County tanning operations at this location began more than 20 years ago. The original service model centered on traditional tanning memberships. Red light therapy was added as consumer demand for non-tanning wellness treatments expanded, broadening the client demographic beyond the core tanning membership base. Proctor site status was obtained during the operating period and remains active. That designation allows the facility to serve as a certified training location for tanning professionals, a credential that independent competitors in the Stark County market typically do not hold. Annual revenue stands at $115,911 with SDE of $24,194. The business is offered for sale as the current owner pursues other ventures. Potential Growth and Expansion Proctor site status supports a standalone tanning certification training revenue line. That service is not currently marketed or priced as a separate offering and represents immediate incremental income. Partnership agreements with hair salons, bridal shops, fitness centers, and travel agencies produce referral-based membership inquiries. Current ownership has not pursued those channels. Mobile spray tanning services extend client reach beyond the physical location with minimal equipment investment and no facility costs. Teeth whitening and beauty party packages fit within the existing 2,400 square foot footprint without structural changes or additional lease space. Adjacent county outreach expands the membership catchment area without equipment investment or facility changes. Competitive Overview The personal care services industry reached $13.2 billion in 2024 and is growing at 6.9% annually. Membership-based businesses in this category show strong performance, with 63.5% reporting year-over-year income growth. The red light therapy segment expanded 40% between 2018 and 2024 as wellness services gained broader consumer adoption across age and income demographics. Independent tanning salons in Stark County compete primarily on price and location. Single-category operators do not match the combination of traditional tanning, red light therapy, and professional spray tanning this facility provides. A 20-year membership base represents retention depth that a new entrant cannot replicate without years of consistent service delivery. Proctor site status adds a compliance and training credential that independent competitors in the immediate market typically do not carry. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $115,911 with SDE of $24,194 (20.9% margin) 20-plus years of continuous operation in Stark County 95% recurring membership revenue provides predictable monthly cash flow Monthly lease of $2,325 all-in, including insurance, maintenance, and property taxes 2,400 sq ft in an established high-traffic retail plaza All equipment operational and included; 15 tanning beds, stand-up unit, red light therapy, and spray tan room Proctor site status allows on-premises owner certification in 4 hours Current ownership time commitment is approximately 20 hours per week Reason for sale is other ventures; operations remain active Financials Summary Annual Revenue $115,911 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $24,194 SDE Margin 20.9% Asking Price $124,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 5.16x Monthly Lease $2,325 (all-in) FF&E Included, operational Inventory $0 Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile Part-time ownership with consistent subscription income suits a buyer, couple, or small partnership prepared to manage a membership-based personal care business. $124,900 in available capital and completion of a 4-hour on-premises certification are the two entry requirements. No prior industry experience is necessary given the documented operational systems and existing staff structure. A buyer comfortable overseeing a subscription customer base at approximately 20 hours per week finds the operational model straightforward from day one. A qualified floor manager in place supports semi-absentee ownership for buyers who prefer an oversight rather than hands-on role. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum. Transworld Business Advisors of Canton is Northeast Ohio's trusted business exit partner, serving Stark and Columbiana County entrepreneurs with confidential business brokerage, certified business valuations, and strategic exit planning.

Stark County, Ohio
Northeast Ohio Chemical Distribution Dual-Revenue Model
$ 374,900
Northeast Ohio Chemical Distribution Dual-Revenue Model $423,261 Annual Revenue from Product Distribution and Equipment Repair Serving the Same Client Accounts Business Description Commercial and industrial facilities in Stark County purchase chemical products on a recurring cycle. When the equipment running those products requires service, this company handles that too. Both transactions bill to the same client. That structure produces two revenue streams without requiring two separate sales efforts, and it creates a dependency that a single-service competitor cannot match on price alone. Equipment repair is the retention mechanism. A facility relying on this company for both chemical supply and system uptime faces real operational risk in switching vendors. That risk keeps accounts active across billing cycles and reduces the price sensitivity that distribution-only relationships carry. The financial result is $423,261 in annual revenue at a 35.3% SDE margin from a one-employee operation with no facility lease and no warehouse overhead. Revenue has increased each year since 2009. The cost structure stays lean because the model requires no inventory on the books and no FF&E investment. A buyer acquires customer accounts, supplier relationships, 16 years of service records, and the operational systems currently supporting $149,314 in annual SDE. The $374,900 purchase price is the only capital outlay required at closing. Business History Chemical distribution was the original service when the company launched in Stark County in 2009. Equipment repair capability was added as the client base grew and facility needs expanded beyond product delivery. That expansion created the dual-revenue structure the business operates under today. Revenue increased each year through that development period and has continued on that trajectory. Sixteen years of active operation produced a documented service history across commercial and industrial accounts in Stark County. The one-employee model has supported the current revenue level throughout, and the business has remained profitable without interruption across multiple economic cycles. Potential Growth and Expansion The service area covers Stark County. Summit, Tuscarawas, and Wayne counties are adjacent markets requiring no additional equipment or facility investment to enter. Existing service accounts operate without annual maintenance agreements. Converting current clients to contract-based schedules produces predictable recurring revenue from accounts already generating billable work. The current product catalog does not include all chemical lines available through existing supplier relationships. Adding product lines to current accounts requires no new client development. One additional field technician increases the volume of simultaneous service calls. Current capacity is constrained by the single-operator model, not by client demand. Increasing regulatory requirements around chemical handling and equipment compliance in Northeast Ohio industrial facilities create a consulting revenue opportunity within the existing client base. Competitive Overview Two competitor types serve chemical distribution in Northeast Ohio. National distributors operate through centralized logistics with broad product catalogs and no on-site service capability. Regional independents compete on delivery speed and price but do not offer equipment repair. The combination of distribution and repair in a single operation requires product knowledge and technical service skill simultaneously. That combination is not common among regional competitors and takes years of client relationship development to build. Demand from Stark County manufacturing, food processing, and commercial facilities is not discretionary. Chemical programs require maintenance and equipment requires service regardless of economic conditions. That demand characteristic produces consistent purchasing behavior across market cycles and limits the revenue volatility that discretionary service businesses face. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $423,261 with SDE of $149,314 (35.3% margin) Founded in 2009, 16 years of continuous operation in Stark County 1 employee; no facility lease, no warehouse, no inventory on the books FF&E of $0; low capital requirements beyond the $374,900 purchase price Dual revenue model from chemical product distribution and equipment repair Revenue growing year over year with clean financial records Primary opportunity is adding one field technician to increase service call capacity Reason for sale is retirement Financials Summary Annual Revenue $423,261 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $149,314 SDE Margin 35.3% Asking Price $374,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 2.51x FF&E $0 Inventory $0 Revenue Trend Increasing year over year Ideal Buyer Profile Industrial sales, chemical distribution, or equipment service experience shortens the transition period and reduces training time on the technical side. $374,900 in available capital covers the full purchase price with nothing additional required at closing for real estate or equipment. Daily involvement in both sales and service delivery is required at the current staffing level. A buyer who adds one field technician creates the capacity to shift into a management role while revenue scales. Existing relationships in the Northeast Ohio commercial or industrial market accelerate account growth from the first week of ownership. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum. Transworld Business Advisors of Canton is Northeast Ohio's trusted business exit partner, serving Stark and Columbiana County entrepreneurs with confidential business brokerage, certified business valuations, and strategic exit planning.

Immediate Revenue Gains (0–6 Months) Add 2–3 stops per route day without hiring additional staff — potential $50,000–$75,000 in incremental revenue annually Introduce floor care products and specialty cleaning lines from the existing 70,000-product catalog — can add 15–20% to average order values Mid-Term Expansion (6–18 Months) Geographic expansion into Summit, Wayne, and Tuscarawas counties — all within 30–45 minutes of current service area — could add $75,000–$100,000 annually with one additional route day per week Formalize preventive maintenance contracts at $150–$300 per location per month — converts reactive service calls into $40,000–$65,000 in predictable recurring revenue. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Northeast-Ohio-Chemical-Distribution-Dual-Revenue-Model
Stark County, Ohio
Stong Brand Stark County Florist, 66 Years of Accolades.
$ 49,900
Stark County Florist, 66 Years. $101,842 Annual Revenue from Two Order Channels. Business Description Commission income arrives from out-of-area orders without a single additional delivery mile. A partner website routes orders beyond the immediate service area to network florists, returning a commission to this location on every transaction. Local orders move through in-house production across fresh arrangements, plants, gifts, and seasonal décor. Three part-time employees handle that production and service daily. The two-channel structure generates $101,842 in annual revenue. Wedding florals, funeral arrangements, holiday production, everyday consumer orders, and corporate accounts each contribute to the annual total. No single category carries the full revenue load. Holiday and event peaks layer on top of institutional and corporate account volume that fills the calendar between those surges. That distribution produces consistent billing activity across all twelve months. The $11,851 in SDE reflects current production volume with that cost advantage already embedded in the financial history. $5,000 in FF&E and $3,000 in inventory transfer at the $49,900 asking price. Thirty days of hands-on training covers production procedures, supplier relationships, and the partner website order workflow. Business History Floral retail at this Stark County location dates to 1960. The original production model centered on fresh arrangements and expanded across the following six decades to include plants, gifts, and seasonal décor as consumer purchasing patterns shifted. Partner website integration added a commission revenue channel that operates alongside in-house production without requiring additional staffing or delivery infrastructure. The business is offered for sale due to owner retirement. Potential Growth and Expansion A direct local delivery ordering system captures digital customers without the commission structure that applies to partner-routed out-of-area orders. No facility changes are required to activate that channel. Funeral homes, hotels, event venues, and Stark County corporate offices represent a direct outreach opportunity. Commercial account expansion requires no additional staff or production equipment. Wedding florals generate higher per-order margins than everyday consumer arrangements. Bridal show participation and direct outreach to event coordinators build volume on existing production capability. Seasonal décor and gift retail currently supplement floral revenue. Expanding those product lines for peak holiday periods adds revenue without facility or staffing changes. A consistent visual presence on image-driven social media platforms reaches the wedding and event planning demographic at minimal cost. That channel is not currently active. Competitive Overview Stark County's retail floral market divides across three competitor types. Independent florists in retail space, grocery store floral departments, and national order-gathering services each occupy a different segment. Order-gatherers collect fees from each transaction and route fulfillment to local florists, compressing margins for the fulfilling florist while delivering inconsistent results to the end customer. Grocery departments serve a commodity price point and do not compete for wedding, funeral, or custom arrangement work. Two structural positions define this operation's standing in that field. The active partner website generates commission income from out-of-area orders without requiring additional production capacity or delivery infrastructure. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $101,842 with SDE of $11,851 (11.6% margin) Founded in 1960, 66 years of continuous operation in Stark County 3 part-time employees handling production and service Building available separately FF&E of $5,000 and inventory of $3,000 included in the $49,900 asking price Dual revenue channels: in-house local production and partner website commission income Revenue distributed across weddings, funerals, holidays, consumer, and corporate accounts 30 days of transition assistance provided; reason for sale is retirement Financials Summary Annual Revenue $101,842 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $11,851 SDE Margin 11.6% Asking Price $49,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 4.21x Monthly Rent Negotiable or Building Purchase FF&E $5,000 (included) Inventory $3,000 (included) Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile $49,900 covers the full business acquisition including FF&E and inventory. The building is negotiated separately. A buyer prepared to work inside the operation daily extracts the most value from the 30-day training period and the existing account relationships. Three part-time employees handle production, but owner presence in client-facing roles drives account retention and development at this revenue level. Retail management, event coordination, or account sales experience translates directly to the wedding and corporate floral expansion opportunities. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum. Transworld Business Advisors of Canton is Northeast Ohio's trusted business exit partner, serving Stark and Columbiana County entrepreneurs with confidential business brokerage, certified business valuations, and strategic exit planning. We specialize in helping retiring small business owners maximize value, preserve legacies, and execute confidential transitions. Our certified business appraisers provide accurate valuations for succession planning, business sales, and acquisition opportunities. Whether you're selling a family business, planning retirement, buying an established company, or need expert guidance through the complex business transition process, we deliver proven results for Canton's business community. Potential Growth & Expansion Let's talk real estate first: should the new owner buy both the business and the real estate, long-term passive income is available through 6 potential commercial spaces, if the buyer decides to lease them. This residual income is perfect for any investor, and ultimately means the buyer can build equity faster! Now, the business itself presents multiple avenues for growth under new ownership. While it has maintained strong community recognition for decades, there remain untapped opportunities in both digital marketing and local partnerships that could significantly increase sales and visibility. Digital Presence & Advertising Online Marketing: Strategic investment in Google Ads, social media campaigns, and SEO targeting “Stark County florist” and “same-day delivery” keywords could drive higher traffic to the business’s online ordering platform. E-commerce Expansion: Enhancing the website with modern design, recurring subscription options (weekly, monthly bouquets), and streamlined mobile ordering could capture a younger, tech-savvy audience. Social Media Branding: Consistent engagement on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest can showcase arrangements and seasonal designs, creating ongoing customer engagement and referral opportunities. Local Partnerships & Community Engagement Healthcare Providers & Hospitals: Establishing formal contracts or partnerships with area hospitals and healthcare facilities would provide a steady stream of orders for patient gifts, celebrations, and sympathy flowers. Funeral Homes & Cemeteries: Strengthening relationships with funeral directors and cemeteries can ensure consistent business in sympathy arrangements and memorial services. Corporate Accounts: Targeting local businesses, chambers of commerce, and professional organizations for recurring orders (office décor, client gifts, employee recognition) offers another layer of stability. Schools & Universities: Partnering with area schools and colleges for proms, graduations, fundraisers, and events could provide high-volume seasonal orders. Event Venues: With the Pro Football Hall of Fame and numerous banquet and reception centers nearby, establishing preferred vendor status for weddings, banquets, and large events could drive significant revenue growth. Operational Enhancements Delivery Fleet Expansion: Investing in delivery capacity ensures fast, reliable service, which can differentiate the business from online-only competitors. Cross-Selling & Upselling: Expanding gift offerings (candles, chocolates, balloons, home décor) provides additional sales per order and creates new seasonal promotions. Subscription & Membership Models: Offering “flower-of-the-month” clubs, wedding floral packages, and corporate subscription services can secure predictable recurring revenue. By leveraging its strong brand reputation and community roots, this business has the potential to double its reach with focused marketing and proactive relationship-building, positioning it as the premier full-service florist in Stark County. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Stong-Brand-Stark-County-Florist-66-Years-of-Accolades-
Stark County, Ohio
Stark County Ohio Pizzeria Established 1989
$ 99,900
Stark County Pizzeria, 37 Years. $337,123 Annual Revenue at a 21.4% SDE Margin from a Carry-Out and Catering Operation with a $750 Monthly Lease Business Description The $750 monthly lease is the structural foundation of this operation. Food service space across Northeast Ohio trades at rates that are multiples of that figure. The gap between this location's occupancy cost and market-rate alternatives flows directly to the bottom line, producing $72,039 in SDE on $337,123 in annual revenue. That cost advantage is not replicable by a new entrant to the Stark County market today. Pizza drives the majority of daily production. Wings, fried chicken, jojos, cold beverages, and locally sourced snack items complete a consistent menu that serves individual carry-out customers alongside institutional accounts. Schools, churches, and civic organizations place recurring catering orders that generate volume beyond the walk-in base. Customers from surrounding townships travel specifically to this location, a geographic draw built across 37 years of consistent production. Four employees handle daily kitchen operations and service. The facility is fully equipped with no deferred maintenance waiting for an incoming owner. $25,000 in FF&E and $5,000 in inventory transfer at the $99,900 asking price. Thirty days of hands-on training covers production procedures, supplier contacts, and daily operational systems from the first week of ownership. Business History Pizza production at this Stark County location began in 1989. The menu expanded from its original core over the following decades as customer preferences evolved, adding wings, fried chicken, jojos, and locally sourced snack items to the production lineup. Catering relationships with schools, churches, and civic organizations developed through consistent community presence and now generate recurring volume independent of walk-in traffic. The $750 monthly lease has anchored the cost structure across the full operating history. That figure reflects a facility arrangement that cannot be replicated by a new market entrant at current Northeast Ohio commercial lease rates. All required Ohio food service licenses and permits are current and in good standing entering 2026. Potential Growth and Expansion Delivery service is not currently offered. Third-party platform activation adds a revenue channel without kitchen modifications or staffing additions at current production volume. Direct online ordering is not active. A digital ordering system captures app and web customers and reduces inbound phone volume during peak service hours. Catering currently serves schools, churches, and civic organizations. Corporate accounts, sports leagues, and private event venues in Stark County represent an adjacent segment the existing kitchen supports without added equipment. A dedicated lunch special targets the midday carry-out segment. No equipment changes or staffing additions are required at current volume levels. Targeted local digital advertising reaches younger demographics in surrounding townships at minimal cost, extending the existing geographic draw without facility changes. Competitive Overview National pizza chains, regional independents, and delivery-only operations each compete for carry-out volume in Stark County. National chains carry brand recognition but operate at cost structures that are multiples of this location's $750 monthly lease. Regional independents face identical food cost and labor pressures without the rent advantage this operation holds. Delivery-only operations lack a physical presence and cannot serve the walk-in or dine-in customer. The cost structure at this location reflects decades of continuous operation in the same facility. A new independent entering Stark County today faces commercial lease rates that compress margins to levels this business does not experience. That structural gap produces pricing flexibility and margin protection that higher-rent competitors cannot match at equivalent revenue levels. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $337,123 with SDE of $72,039 (21.4% margin) Founded in 1989, 37 years of continuous operation in Stark County 4 employees handling daily kitchen production and service Monthly lease of $750 with no variable facility expenses FF&E of $25,000 and inventory of $5,000 included in the $99,900 asking price Active catering accounts with schools, churches, and civic organizations Delivery not currently offered; third-party platform activation is an immediate revenue opportunity 30 days of hands-on training provided; reason for sale is retirement Financials Summary Annual Revenue $337,123 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $72,039 SDE Margin 21.4% Asking Price $99,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 1.39x Monthly Rent $750 FF&E $25,000 (included) Inventory $5,000 (included) Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile Capital requirement is $99,900 all-in, covering the business, FF&E, and inventory. Daily floor presence is required through the transition period and beyond at the current four-employee staffing level. The 30-day training period transfers production knowledge, supplier contacts, and catering account relationships directly. Food service or account management experience makes the catering expansion opportunity accessible from the first month. The $750 monthly lease provides a fixed-cost floor that protects margin from day one regardless of revenue fluctuations. Absentee ownership does not fit this operation at its current staffing level. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum. Transworld Business Advisors of Canton is Northeast Ohio's trusted business exit partner, serving Stark and Columbiana County entrepreneurs with confidential business brokerage, certified business valuations, and strategic exit planning. We specialize in helping retiring small business owners maximize value, preserve legacies, and execute confidential transitions. Our certified business appraisers provide accurate valuations for succession planning, business sales, and acquisition opportunities. Whether you're selling a family business, planning retirement, buying an established company, or need expert guidance through the complex business transition process, we deliver proven results for Canton's business community. While this pizzeria has thrived for nearly 40 years on a steady base of loyal customers, several growth opportunities remain untapped. A new owner can capitalize on these to expand both revenue and market presence. Delivery Services At present, the business operates strictly on a dine-in and carryout model, without offering delivery. Adding in-house delivery or partnering with third-party platforms such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub could immediately increase sales volume. With customer demand for convenience at an all-time high, even a modest adoption of delivery could significantly broaden the restaurant’s customer base. Catering & Group Sales The shop’s reputation for handcrafted pizzas, fried chicken, and jumbo wings makes it a natural fit for catering school events, office lunches, church functions, and community gatherings. Expanding into catering with family-style trays, bulk orders, and party packages would provide a new revenue stream while strengthening the restaurant’s presence at community functions. Networking & Community Engagement Joining local Chambers of Commerce and other business associations would enhance visibility and open doors to new partnerships. With its long-standing reputation, the restaurant is well-positioned to participate in sponsorships, community events, and fundraisers that build goodwill and attract new customers from both the city and surrounding townships. Digital Marketing & Online Presence The business currently relies on its established reputation and word-of-mouth. Targeted online advertising, an updated website, and active social media engagement could drive awareness among younger demographics and new residents. Highlighting unique offerings such as the jumbo wings and creative thin-crust pizzas online would help differentiate the shop in a crowded market. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Stark-County-Ohio-Pizzeria-Established-1989-

Northeast Ohio Licensed Childcare, Nine Years, Absentee-Capable.
$ 149,900
Northeast Ohio Licensed Childcare, Nine Years, Absentee-Capable $526,383 Annual Revenue from a 6,000 Square Foot Licensed Facility with Diversified Private-Pay and State-Subsidized Enrollment Business Description State-subsidized tuition and private-pay enrollment fund this center simultaneously. Neither source carries the full revenue load. That split produces $526,383 in annual revenue with a billing structure that holds across economic cycles affecting either segment independently. Eleven employees manage daily operations across multiple management layers, a structure that supports ownership at the oversight level without requiring floor-level daily presence. The 6,000 square foot facility sits on a high-traffic corridor with direct visibility and proximity to nearby schools. Age groups from six weeks through eleven years each occupy dedicated classroom space within the building. A professionally installed fire suppression system meets current Ohio licensing requirements and supports flexible classroom reconfiguration as enrollment grows. The physical plant requires no deferred capital investment at closing. Real estate is owned outright and available for purchase alongside the business. A buyer negotiating both assets acquires an operating childcare license and a real property position in a single transaction. FF&E of $30,000 transfers with the $149,900 asking price and covers classroom furniture, educational equipment, and administrative systems in active daily use. Active enrollment, a licensed facility, a trained eleven-person staff, and a multi-layer management structure transfer at closing. The business is offered for sale as the current owner pursues other business opportunities. Business History Licensed childcare operations at this Northeast Ohio location began in 2016. The center expanded its age range and enrollment capacity over the following nine years, growing from its original programming into a full-spectrum operation serving children from six weeks through eleven years. Ohio Department of Job and Family Services licensing has been maintained in current good standing throughout that period without interruption. The management structure that now supports day-to-day operations developed incrementally as enrollment grew and staffing deepened. FF&E of $30,000 reflects classroom and administrative equipment in active daily use across the 6,000 square foot facility. All required Ohio childcare licenses and operational permits are current entering 2026. Potential Growth and Expansion Ohio's Step Up To Quality program participation is not currently active. Enrollment in that program opens additional state funding streams and strengthens competitive positioning against other licensed centers in the market. Evening and weekend care hours are not currently offered. Adding those hours fills unused facility capacity and serves working families whose schedules fall outside standard operating windows. Tutoring and enrichment programming for school-age children adds a revenue category within the existing licensed age range without structural changes to the facility. The owned real estate supports facility expansion if enrollment demand exceeds current classroom capacity. The existing footprint accommodates reconfiguration before any addition is required. Targeted digital marketing to families within the immediate service area increases enrollment inquiry volume. No facility changes are required to support that outreach. Competitive Overview Licensed childcare capacity across Northeast Ohio has not kept pace with family demand since 2020. Ohio's childcare sector faces a documented provider shortage, with new center licensing approvals lagging enrollment demand across multiple counties. The ODJFS licensing process, facility compliance requirements, and staffing credentialing timelines combine to make new center development a twelve to twenty-four month process under standard conditions. That timeline gives existing licensed operators a structural position that new entrants cannot close quickly. Corporate childcare chains operating in the broader Northeast Ohio market carry higher overhead and standardized programming that does not serve every family profile. Independent licensed centers with owned facilities, diversified enrollment funding, and established community presence hold a position that neither corporate operators nor new independents can replicate in the near term. The combination of a nine-year operating history, owned real estate, and a multi-layer management structure at the $149,900 price point is not a common ratio in comparable Ohio childcare listings. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $526,383 with SDE of $64,032 (12.2% margin) Established in 2016, nine years of continuous operation in Northeast Ohio 11 employees with multiple management layers supporting absentee-capable ownership 6,000 sq ft licensed facility on a high-traffic corridor; real estate owned and available separately FF&E of $30,000 included in the $149,900 asking price; inventory $0 Enrollment balanced between private-pay and state-subsidized tuition Ohio ODJFS childcare license in current good standing transfers with sale Reason for sale is pursuit of other business opportunities Financials Summary Annual Revenue $526,383 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $64,032 SDE Margin 12.2% Asking Price $149,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 2.34x FF&E $30,000 (included) Inventory $0 Real Estate Owned; available separately Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile Capital requirement is $149,900 for the business; real estate is negotiated separately. Ohio ODJFS licensing mandates a credentialed director hold the center's license. A buyer without qualifying educational credentials needs a credentialed director hired and in place before assuming operational control. The eleven-person staff and multi-layer management structure support an owner whose primary focus is enrollment growth, staff oversight, and financial management rather than daily floor operations. Activating Step Up To Quality participation and adding evening care hours are the two highest-return opportunities available to a new owner without proportional increases in fixed cost.

The real estate associated with this business sale is represented by Russell Real Estate Services, a licensed real estate brokerage in the State of Ohio. The business is well established, yet there are several avenues for meaningful expansion that a new owner could pursue. State Quality Programs By participating in Ohio’s Step Up To Quality program, the center could qualify for enhanced reimbursement rates. Estimates suggest this could generate an additional $50,000–$75,000 in annual revenue while also elevating the program’s reputation among families seeking higher-rated providers. Advertising & Marketing The business has historically invested very little in marketing, with total advertising spend under $1,000 over multiple years. This creates an immediate opportunity: even modest investments in digital campaigns, local print media, or social platforms could significantly increase visibility and enrollment. Expanded Services & Programs There is untapped potential in offering supplemental programs such as tutoring, extracurricular lessons (music, art, or sports), after-hours “date night” care, and seasonal camps. These services not only provide additional revenue streams but also enhance family loyalty by meeting a wider range of childcare needs. Facility Utilization With a 6,200 square-foot facility and eight classrooms, the property has the capacity to support higher enrollment. A new operator could maximize space utilization by adjusting classroom mixes to meet demand, expanding school-age programs, or adding specialized rooms (e.g., STEM or enrichment labs). Community Partnerships Strong ties already exist with the local school district, particularly through bussing arrangements. Expanding these partnerships into joint programming, early learning initiatives, or district-sponsored childcare solutions could deepen market penetration and stabilize enrollment further. Real Estate & Long-Term Value Because the real estate is owned, there’s flexibility to expand physically if demand warrants it. Owning the property also provides long-term security and the potential for value appreciation, which strengthens the overall investment profile. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Northeast-Ohio-Licensed-Childcare-Nine-Years-Absentee-Capable-
Stark County, Ohio
Stark County Floral Production, 40 Years, Six Staff
$ 149,900
Stark County Floral Production, 40 Years, Six Staff $397,072 Annual Revenue from a 6,700 Square Foot Purpose-Built Facility Serving Consumer and Commercial Accounts Across Northeast Ohio Business Description Production infrastructure drives this operation. The 6,700 square foot facility was designed from the ground up for floral production and includes a dedicated showroom, multiple design stations, a walk-in cooler, and a delivery garage. That physical footprint is the largest purpose-built floral production space in the immediate Stark County market. No competitor operates from a comparable facility. The infrastructure supports high-volume output across weddings, sympathy arrangements, celebrations, everyday consumer orders, and commercial accounts without the limitations of a converted retail space. Revenue of $397,072 flows through two distinct customer segments. Consumer accounts generate the majority of volume through repeat purchasing patterns built across decades of consistent service. Commercial accounts provide a separate revenue layer with different billing cycles and order profiles. Six full-time employees manage design, production, and delivery under a structured daily workflow. The operational system is documented and in active use. $8,000 in inventory and $12,000 in FF&E transfer at the $149,900 asking price. Rent is absorbed into current operating expenses, and the $82,470 in SDE reflects that cost already factored in. Seller financing is available. Four weeks of hands-on training transfers operational knowledge directly to the incoming owner. Real estate is available separately through Russell Real Estate Services, a licensed Ohio brokerage. A buyer acquires trained staff, established consumer and commercial accounts, a documented operational system, and the largest purpose-built floral production facility in the immediate market. Business History Floral production at this Stark County location began in 1984. The business expanded through a second generation of ownership, with each transition accompanied by growth in physical footprint and service capacity. The current 6,700 square foot facility represents a deliberate capital investment in purpose-built infrastructure that distinguishes this operation from competitors working out of adapted retail or commercial spaces. Four decades of continuous operation produced account depth across both consumer and commercial segments. The brand carries recognition across Stark County through sustained presence at weddings, memorial services, and community events. All required Ohio business licenses and operational permits are current and in good standing. The facility sits on approximately 1.75 acres and has supported the current production model throughout the business's operating history. Potential Growth and Expansion Commercial accounts represent a minority of current revenue. Direct outreach to funeral homes, hotels, corporate offices, and event venues in Stark County expands that segment without adding staff or equipment. Wedding and event florals carry higher per-order margins than everyday consumer arrangements. A targeted outreach effort to bridal shows and regional event planners builds on production capability already in place. The existing e-commerce presence supports expanded online order volume. The 6,700 square foot facility handles increased throughput without physical changes. Delivery infrastructure is in place and operational. Expanding the delivery radius into Summit, Tuscarawas, or Carroll County adds revenue without capital investment in new equipment. The 1.75-acre property accommodates gift retail, plant sales, or seasonal décor lines. No structural changes to the building are required to add those product categories. Competitive Overview Three competitor types divide the Stark County floral market. Independent florists with physical production facilities, grocery store floral departments, and national online order-gathering services each occupy a different segment. Order-gatherers outsource fulfillment to third parties and produce inconsistent results. Grocery departments compete on commodity pricing and do not pursue event or custom arrangement work. Independent florists with owned production infrastructure hold the high-margin segment that generates the strongest per-order revenue. This business operates from the largest purpose-built floral facility in the immediate market. Replicating that footprint requires significant capital and a multi-year construction and licensing timeline. The combination of 40-plus years of account relationships, a trained six-person staff, and a production facility with no comparable local equivalent represents a market position that a new entrant cannot reach without years of development. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $397,072 with SDE of $82,470 (20.8% margin) Founded in 1984, 40-plus years of continuous operation in Stark County 6 full-time employees across design, production, and delivery 6,700 sq ft purpose-built leased facility on approximately 1.75 acres; rent factored into current expenses Real estate available separately through Russell Real Estate Services $8,000 inventory and $12,000 FF&E included in the $149,900 asking price Seller financing available; four weeks of hands-on training provided Reason for sale is retirement Financials Summary Annual Revenue $397,072 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $82,470 SDE Margin 20.8% Asking Price $149,900 Price-to-SDE Multiple 1.82x Inventory $8,000 (included) FF&E $12,000 (included) Revenue Trend Stable Ideal Buyer Profile Six employees across design, production, and delivery require daily management presence. $149,900 covers the business acquisition with seller financing available for qualified buyers; real estate is a separate negotiation through Russell Real Estate Services. Floral industry experience shortens the learning curve but is not a hard entry requirement given the trained staff and documented operational systems in place. A buyer with account management or B2B sales experience finds the commercial account expansion opportunity accessible from the first month of ownership. Full-time on-site involvement is required at the current staffing and revenue level. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum.

Stark County, Ohio
Stark County Mental Health Practice Established 35 Years+
$ 549,000
Stark County Mental Health Practice Established 35 Years+ $631,082 Annual Revenue at a 50.3% Earnings Margin with Institutional Referral Channels Requiring No Marketing Spend Business Description Three distinct referral pipelines feed this practice without advertising. Primary care physicians, school districts, and the county court system each route patients through established intake processes. Those channels have operated continuously since the practice opened in 1988 and transfer with the sale. The practice does not depend on any single referral source, and no marketing budget supports patient acquisition. Revenue of $631,082 comes from individual, family, and group therapy delivered to patients across all age groups. Insurance billing runs through active payer contracts already in place. Patients return for ongoing care rather than single visits, which produces predictable scheduling and stable billing cycles. SDE of $317,368 represents a 50.3% margin on that revenue base. One full-time employee supports operations alongside clinical staff. The practice leases space in a professional office complex. Intake, scheduling, and billing follow defined systems that do not require the seller's involvement to function. The operational structure is documented and in active daily use. A buyer acquires patient records, active payer contracts, Ohio licensure, staff, and the full referral network built across 35 years of continuous operation in Stark County. The asking price of $549,000 represents a 1.73x multiple on SDE. FF&E of $13,330 is included. Business History The practice opened in Stark County in 1988 and has operated without interruption since. Service offerings expanded over the decades to include individual, family, and group therapy across all age groups. Credentialing with insurance payers accumulated over that same period and remains active. The practice navigated multiple economic cycles and successive changes in Ohio healthcare regulation without a break in service or a loss of institutional referral relationships. Current licensure is in good standing. Payer contracts are active. The referral network with physicians, schools, and courts reflects 35 years of consistent service delivery, not a single relationship or individual. That network is institutional in structure and transfers with the practice. Potential Growth and Expansion Telehealth is not a primary delivery channel. Adding telehealth expands the patient catchment area beyond Stark County and increases clinician scheduling capacity without adding physical space or staff. Psychiatric medication management is not offered. Adding one prescribing provider creates a new revenue stream within the existing patient base and increases clinical scope without building a new referral network. Group therapy sessions generate higher revenue per clinician hour than individual sessions. Expanding group programming increases revenue per hour worked without adding headcount. The practice has not conducted structured outreach to its existing institutional referral sources. A direct outreach program to school counselors and primary care offices increases referral volume through channels already producing patients. Credentialing with additional insurance payers expands the eligible patient population. No new physical infrastructure is required to add payer contracts. Competitive Overview Provider supply in Stark County falls short of mental health service demand. Ohio ranks among states with the widest gap between licensed mental health providers and population need. Hospital-employed clinician groups and community mental health centers operate in the same county but serve different patient segments under different reimbursement structures. Those competitors carry higher administrative overhead and operate under institutional clinical protocols that independent practices are not subject to. Hospital systems across Ohio have acquired independent medical practices at an accelerating rate over the past decade. Mental health practices have experienced less acquisition pressure than primary care and specialty medicine during that consolidation period. An independent practice with 35 years of active operation and established court, school, and physician referral relationships holds a market position that requires decades to build. A new entrant to Stark County cannot replicate that position in the near term. Key Highlights Annual revenue of $631,082 with SDE of $317,368 (50.3% margin) Founded in 1988, 35-plus years of continuous operation in Stark County 1 full-time employee; leased space in a professional office complex Active payer contracts, Ohio licensure, and staff transfer with the sale Referral relationships with physicians, school districts, and the court system require no marketing spend to maintain Revenue trend is consistent year-over-year growth FF&E of $13,330 included; inventory is $0 Reason for sale is retirement; practice operations are active and fully staffed Financials Summary Annual Revenue $631,082 Seller's Discretionary Earnings $317,368 SDE Margin 50.3% Asking Price $549,000 Price-to-SDE Multiple 1.73x FF&E $13,330 Inventory $0 Revenue Trend Consistent year-over-year growth Ideal Buyer Profile $549,000 in available capital is the baseline requirement. A licensed Ohio clinician (LPCC, LISW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) can step into an active caseload from day one and assume the clinical director role without additional hiring. A buyer without clinical credentials needs a qualified clinical director credentialed and in place before closing. Healthcare administration or practice management experience shortens the transition timeline. This is a working practice with active staff, patient obligations, and daily operational demands. Buyers seeking a passive investment should look elsewhere. Confidentiality Notice A signed confidentiality agreement is required before financial details are released. Qualified buyers should contact the listing broker to request the full offering memorandum.
