Description
Business Description
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.
The $700 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 $52,041 in SDE on $343,039 in annual revenue. That cost advantage is not replicable by a new entrant to the Stark County market today.
Three 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 contracts, 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 $700 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 support 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.

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 three-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 $700 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.

Full-Menu Restaurant with D5 & D6 Licenses in Stark County, Ohio
$ 295,000
This full-service family-oriented restaurant and bar operates from a single leased location in Stark County, Ohio. The business runs two concepts from one kitchen and two dining rooms, generating revenue from breakfast and brunch service alongside a full bar and dinner menu. Revenue reached $1,142,242 in 2025, up 3.8% from 2024. Gross margin expanded from 61% to 64% over the same period. Net income also grew year-over-year, with Adjusted Seller's Discretionary Earnings rising 39.7% in 2025 to $124,546. The facility spans approximately 6,000 square feet with seating for 125 guests inside and 60 additional seats on an outdoor patio. Staffing includes 8 to 10 full-time employees and 3 to 5 part-time employees, plus a manager to oversee daily operations. The business holds D-5 and D-6 liquor permits, supporting on-premises beer, wine, and spirits sales. Additionally, the venue features Ohio Lottery Keno and licensed gaming. Recent capital investment includes a new grill hood and fire suppression system and a new walk-in cooler installed in 2025. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment valued at $160,000 are included in the sale. Key Highlights Revenue reached $1,142,242 in 2025. Adjusted SDE reached $124,546 in 2025, up 39.7% year over year. Two concepts opened in 2021 and 2023 operate from one leased location. Staffing includes 8 to 10 full-time and 3 to 5 part-time employees. The leased facility spans approximately 6,000 square feet with 185 total seats. D-5 and D-6 liquor permits are held and transferable to a qualified buyer. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment valued at $160,000 are included in the sale. The owner is selling to pursue other business interests. Expanding the existing catering program increases revenue by an estimated 10% to 15% based on current inquiry volume. Moving to owner-operator management in place of a paid general manager reduces labor cost by an estimated 10% to 15%. Adding online ordering and third-party delivery captures off-premise demand not currently served. Extending operating hours on select days increases kitchen and dining room utilization. Growing private event and group bookings uses existing seating capacity of 185 guests across the dining room and patio. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Full-Menu-Restaurant-with-D5-D6-Licenses-in-Stark-County-Ohio

Fencing Contractor in Stark County Ohio with $1,726,211 Revenue
$ 2,490,000
Asking $2,490,000 with $865,351 in 2025 Seller Discretionary Earnings and $642,461 Normalized Across Multiple Years. Revenue reached $1,726,211 in 2025, up from $630,881 in 2020. Gross margin held at 58.4% across that expansion, so added volume converted into earnings rather than absorbing them. The company installs fence for residential and commercial customers across Stark County, Ohio and the surrounding market. Work is sold as discrete project contracts rather than recurring service agreements, and each job is billed on completion. Installed pricing in the area runs $15 to $25 per linear foot for chain link, $25 to $35 for wood privacy, and $35 to $45 for vinyl. The business prices inside that range at every product tier. Field operations run on a hybrid labor structure. 1 full-time employee and 2 part-time employees handle core installation and administration on payroll. Subcontracted crews absorb the spring and summer demand peaks, so headcount does not carry through the winter months. Materials, subcontractor payments, and leased equipment make up most of the direct project cost, which keeps the cost base moving with revenue instead of sitting fixed. A buyer acquires the active project pipeline, the subcontractor network built for seasonal scaling, the customer records behind $1,726,211 in 2025 volume, and a cost structure already tested across 5 years of growth. Real estate is not included in the sale. The buyer negotiates a new facility lease directly with the property owner, which leaves the operating location open to selection within the service area. Stark County carries an estimated 2026 population of 374,302. The national fencing installation market is estimated between $13.7 billion and $20.4 billion in 2026, growing at 3.3% to 5.4% annually, with contractors holding roughly 78.8% of the installation channel. This business grew 174% over 5 years against a category growing in the low single digits. That gap represents share taken from other operators rather than category lift. - Summit County to the north holds roughly 540,000 residents and Wayne County to the west roughly 117,000, against 374,302 in the current home county. Both sit inside normal drive time for the existing crews and require no additional equipment or permanent staff. - The subcontractor model converts added volume into margin without permanent payroll. Every incremental job is absorbed by contracted crews at a variable cost, so revenue growth does not require the buyer to fund headcount in advance. - The Canton and North Canton competitive field is fragmented, with no operator holding dominant share. Acquiring or absorbing the book of a retiring single-truck operator adds volume at a lower cost than organic customer acquisition. - Temporary construction site fencing draws on the same chain link inventory and equipment already in use and bills on a rental basis rather than a one-time install, which puts revenue into the winter months that residential installation leaves open. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Fencing-Contractor-in-Stark-County-Ohio-with-1-726-211-Revenue

Stark County Millwork Fabricator With Equipment
$ 985,000
Fiscal Year 2025 Revenue Reached $1,158,384 With Seller Discretionary Earnings of $251,536 Business Description Commercial contracts drive most of the revenue at this Northeast Ohio fabrication and installation operation. The shop produces custom countertops and millwork for builders and property owners across Stark County and neighboring communities. Custom orders, repair work, and countertop replacement fill out the remaining volume. A 12,559 square foot leased facility houses the full production line, including office space for estimating and project management. Fiscal year 2025 closed at $1,158,384 in revenue, the highest total of the past three years and 14.2 percent above the 2023 result of $1,014,773. Gross margin reached 27.9 percent for the year. Net income totaled $107,029 with a 2025 SDE of $251,536. A buyer acquires production equipment, a new three year facility lease running through June 30, 2029 with a 2 percent annual escalator and a three year renewal option, and a trained production crew already in place. The transaction is structured as an asset purchase. Key Highlights • Fiscal year 2025 revenue of $1,158,384, a three year high and 14.2 percent above 2023 • Fiscal year 2025 seller discretionary earnings of $251,536 • Established 1999, more than 25 years under continuous operation • Owned production equipment at $685,453 gross cost • Leased facility of 12,559 square feet through June 30, 2029 with one three year renewal option • Owner retirement drives the sale, with a negotiable transition period offered. Financials Summary • Annual Revenue (FY2025) — $1,158,384 • SDE (FY2025) — $251,536 • Asking Price — $985,000 • Gross Margin (FY2025) — 27.9 percent • Year over Year Trend — FY2023 to FY2025 up 14.2 percent. Ideal Buyer Profile This opportunity fits an operator with commercial millwork, cabinet, or countertop production management experience. Estimating and bidding skills on commercial projects matter most, since commercial work drove 86.7 percent of first half 2026 revenue. This is a full time owner operator role. An operator already running a millwork or countertop shop could absorb this capacity, spread fixed cost across a larger base, and retain the existing production crew. 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. • Countertop revenue increased 265.74 percent in the first half of 2026 and still accounts for under 9 percent of total revenue, leaving substantial room to rebalance the sales mix. • Repair revenue increased 492.21 percent over the same period from a small starting base, adding higher margin work that uses limited material. • The current facility and owned equipment support a second production shift with no added rent and no facility move. • Residential and remodeler work runs at a fraction of commercial channel volume today, giving a new owner a second demand source that moves independently of commercial cycles. • The lease renewal option locks occupancy cost through June 2032 at a 2 percent annual escalator, fixing a known cost line through a multi-year growth period. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Stark-County-Millwork-Fabricator-With-Equipment

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-

20-Year Tanning Salon in Stark County with $45,600 Net Income
$ 124,900
Asking $124,900 at 2.7 Times Net Income on $129,900 in Gross Sales Through November 2025 The location has operated as a tanning salon for more than 20 years and produced $129,900 in gross sales across the first 11 months of 2025. Net income across that period ran $45,600, a 35% net margin. Current ownership acquired the business in 2023 and runs it semi-absentee at 20 hours per week. Prepaid membership packages generated 88.8% of 2025 revenue and retail products accounted for roughly 5%. Average monthly revenue held at $11,811 across the 11 month period, which is the pattern a membership base produces rather than the swing a single visit business shows. TanTrack software records every package sale and every redemption, so renewal behavior is auditable at the transaction level. A manager and 4 part time employees run the location, and all 5 are staying with the business. The salon trades 72 hours a week, Monday through Saturday from 9am to 8pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Ownership works 20 hours weekly, so the semi-absentee structure is one a buyer inherits rather than one a buyer has to build. The facility covers 2,400 square feet in a retail plaza at $2,325 per month, a figure that includes insurance, maintenance, and taxes. Equipment includes 14 tanning beds across premium, base, stand-up, and 360 UVB levels, a Soltron hybrid red-light bed, and a dedicated spray tan room with 2 professional application guns rather than an automated booth. The location holds Proctor site status for tanning operator certification. Ohio requires a certified operator on duty during all sunlamp service hours, and the 4 hour certificate a new owner needs can be completed on site rather than off site. Rent and payroll together accounted for 69% of 2025 operating expenses at $46,461, and electricity ran $10,308 across the same 11 months. Those 3 lines move the model, and all 3 are known figures a buyer can price before closing. Key Highlights More than 20 years of continuous operation from the same Stark County retail plaza, under current ownership since 2023 $129,900 in gross sales with $45,600 in net income across January through November 2025, a 35% net margin Revenue up 12% against the $115,911 recorded in 2024, and that comparison runs on 11 months of 2025 rather than 12 88.8% of 2025 revenue came through prepaid membership packages, with retail products at roughly 5% Asking $124,900 payable in cash at closing, 2.7 times 2025 net income 1 manager and 4 part time employees, all remaining after closing, with ownership at 20 hours weekly 2,400 square feet in a retail plaza at $2,325 monthly including insurance, maintenance, and taxes, with 14 tanning beds and a custom spray tan room included in the price Ownership is exiting to pursue another venture, and modernized booking, marketing, and membership tiers are the primary opportunity for the incoming owner Financials Summary Metric Amount 2025 Gross Sales (January through November) $129,900 2025 Net Income (January through November) $45,600 2025 Net Profit Margin 35% 2025 Average Monthly Revenue $11,811 2024 Revenue $115,911 2024 Gross Margin 96.4% 2024 Normalized SDE $24,194 2023 Revenue (partial year, ownership change) $37,289 Asking Price $124,900 Multiple of 2025 Net Income 2.7x Package Share of 2025 Revenue 88.8% Rent $2,325 monthly, inclusive of insurance, maintenance, and taxes Equipment Included 14 tanning beds and a dedicated custom spray tan room Three Year Trend Revenue rising from $37,289 in a partial 2023 to $115,911 in 2024 to $129,900 through 11 months of 2025, with net income rising from $6,867 to $45,600 Transaction Details The asking price of $124,900 is payable in cash at closing. Seller financing is not offered. The seller provides a 30 day training and transition period, including operations procedures, vendor relationships, equipment training, and introduction to the customer database. All 5 employees, 1 manager and 4 part time staff, remain with the business after closing. The business runs semi-absentee. Ownership works 20 hours weekly and the manager handles daily operations. Real estate is leased. The premises run 2,400 square feet in a retail plaza at $2,325 per month, inclusive of insurance, maintenance, and taxes, on an assignable lease. The business is not presented as SBA pre-qualified. The transaction is structured for a cash buyer or a buyer contributing substantial equity. The business is not relocatable. All 14 beds and the spray tan room are installed at the leased premises. The location holds Proctor site status for tanning operator certification, so the 4 hour certificate a new owner requires is completed on site. Books and records are supported by filed tax returns and sales tax filings, with transaction level detail available in the TanTrack point of sale system. Ideal Buyer Profile This fits an owner operator or a couple who wants a business that already runs without full time ownership presence. Current ownership works 10-20 hours a week with a manager and 4 part time staff covering a 72 hour trading week, and a buyer should plan on that same schedule during the first year rather than a passive schedule. Customer service, retail, or membership business experience transfers directly, and a marketing mindset matters more than industry background given that modernized booking and promotion are where the earnings upside sits. Ohio requires a board approved certified tanning operator on duty during all sunlamp service hours, and because the location is a Proctor site, the 4 hour certificate is completed on the premises. - The salon runs no modern booking or payment software. Online booking, automated appointment reminders, and email marketing are standard in the category and produce documented efficiency gains, and they install at a monthly subscription cost rather than a capital cost. - Retail products account for about 5% of revenue. Expanding the product line runs inside the existing 2,400 square feet with no build-out and no added headcount. - A hybrid red-light bed is already installed and is not marketed as a separate wellness service at its own price point. The red-light therapy market is valued at $587.5 million in 2026 and is growing at 9.8% annually, and capturing that pricing here costs $0 in new equipment. - Advertising is one of the smallest lines in the 2025 expense schedule. A membership base generating 88.8% of revenue supports referral and email campaigns against near zero media spend. - Electricity ran $10,308 across 11 months of 2025, the third largest expense behind rent and payroll. At a 35% net margin, efficiency work on beds and lighting drops most of what it saves to the bottom line. - Tiered family and couple memberships and event-based packages for weddings, proms, and vacations raise average spend across a base that already buys on a package rhythm.

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. 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.
