21-Year Established Full-Service Caterer, Loyal Repeat Clients
$ 269,000
This is a 21-year-old, full-service off-premise catering company serving corporate and social clients throughout the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area. The business plans and executes events end-to-end — menu design, food and beverage production, event staffing, bartending for events serving alcohol, and coordination of rentals and florals — covering everything from simple drop-off catering to fully staffed, white-glove events. Revenue splits roughly 50% food and beverage, 45% staffing/service, and 5% other, giving the business multiple income streams rather than relying on food sales alone. The client base skews toward professionals and decision-makers with discretionary budget — corporate event planners and individuals planning weddings and private celebrations — built primarily through repeat business, referrals, and word of mouth rather than paid advertising. The company operates from a lean, off-premise commercial kitchen (no dine-in overhead), is run by a small core team (2 full-time, 10 part-time staff, plus a pool of trusted on-call contractors), and has stayed profitable through two major economic downturns. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment, trained staff willing to stay on through the transition, and a seller open to a training period and ongoing consulting support post-close — a turnkey opportunity for a buyer to step into an established, cash-flowing operation. There's clear runway for a buyer ready to give this business full-time attention — something the current owners haven't been able to do since their separate product line started pulling focus. Weddings stand out as the single biggest opportunity: ownership has identified this segment as relatively insulated from the corporate budget tightening that can affect catering spend, since people keep getting married regardless of the economy. The business has barely scratched this market despite strong word-of-mouth. Marketing is another underdeveloped lever — the company currently relies almost entirely on social media and referrals from past events, with no paid marketing or dedicated sales effort. A buyer investing even modestly in lead generation, venue and vendor partnerships, or targeted advertising could plausibly grow bookings without changing the operating model at all. There's also room to shift revenue mix toward higher-margin offerings — full-service staffing, bartending, and event coordination currently represent a meaningful but still-minority share of revenue relative to food and beverage, and these services tend to carry better margins than straight drop-off catering. On the demand side, the broader event catering market is trending toward distinctive, highly visual experiences, which plays well to this company's reputation for scratch-made, creative menus. Early-2026 financials already show this momentum building, with revenue and earnings both well ahead of prior-year pace — a buyer stepping in now would be building on an upswing, not starting from flat. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/murfreesboro/listings/21-Year-Established-Full-Service-Caterer-Loyal-Repeat-Clients

Bedford County, Tennessee
Established Dry Cleaning & Alterations Business | Bedford County
Call/Email
The only dry cleaning business in Bedford County offering alteration services — a competitive advantage that has kept customers coming back for over 50 years. With three distinct revenue streams (dry cleaning, wash and fold, and alterations), this turnkey operation generates over $103,000 in annual revenue with a long-tenured staff already in place and ready to support a new owner from day one. The business benefits from consistent year-round demand, with peak volume driven by the area's active horse show and equestrian community alongside strong holiday seasons. A new owner steps into an established customer base, proven operations, and a market position that no local competitor can match. The seller is committed to training the new owner at no cost and has structured the deal to make entry accessible — with seller financing available and $91,000 in assets included in the asking price (FF&E, leasehold improvements, and inventory). This is a rare opportunity to acquire a recession-resilient, community-rooted business with real barriers to competition and immediate cash flow from day one. $109,000 | Bedford County, TN | Seller Financing Available This business has operated with minimal marketing — currently limited to a single social media platform — leaving significant untapped potential for a new owner to grow revenue without adding overhead. Immediate opportunities include expanding the digital presence through a dedicated website, Google Business profile, and targeted local advertising to capture customers actively searching for dry cleaning and alteration services in the area. A simple customer loyalty or referral program could further strengthen retention among the existing base. On the service side, the alterations offering — already a local differentiator — could be promoted more aggressively to drive higher-margin revenue. Adding pickup and delivery service is a low-cost enhancement that has proven effective for dry cleaners in similar markets and could open an entirely new customer segment. The business is also well-positioned to capitalize on continued growth in the local horse show and equestrian community, a built-in niche that drives repeat, seasonal volume. Targeted outreach to stables, equestrian clubs, and event organizers could meaningfully increase that revenue stream. Finally, with a month-to-month lease a new owner has the flexibility to secure the location long-term and invest in the facility with confidence. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/murfreesboro/listings/Established-Dry-Cleaning-Alterations-Business-Bedford-County

Brand-New Premium Restaurant & Bar - Day-One Operational!
$ 335,000
A premium Mexican restaurant and full bar concept located in one of Nashville's fastest-growing urban neighborhoods. This turnkey operation spans approximately 4,964 square feet and includes a transferable liquor license, a trained staff of 13, and substantial hard assets — priced on hard-asset value — $300K in FF&E, liquor license, and a 10-year lease — not on earnings, since the concept is six months old and growing. The space features a fully built-out interior and exterior designed for a premium dining and bar experience, including a complete commercial kitchen, full bar setup, and dedicated seating for dine-in and bar service. The lease runs through a 10-year term with two additional 5-year renewal options, providing long-term occupancy stability at a competitive rate for the area. Having opened just five months ago, the business has generated over $440,000 in revenue during that period, with month-over-month growth throughout. The grand opening event and all digital marketing remain entirely unlaunched, representing a clear, low-cost growth opportunity for a new owner. Additional upside includes a happy hour program, private dining and catering packages, and continued benefit from a rapidly growing surrounding population, with several large residential and mixed-use developments underway nearby. A new owner steps into a fully equipped, fully staffed operation with day-one operational capability — avoiding the cost, time, and uncertainty of a ground-up buildout in one of Nashville's most competitive commercial corridors. The grand opening event and all digital marketing (social media, paid search) remain entirely unlaunched. Additional opportunities include private dining and catering packages, expanded hours, and continued benefit from substantial nearby residential and mixed-use development already underway. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Brand-New-Premium-Restaurant-Bar-Day-One-Operational-
Davidson County, Tennessee
Established Nashville Boutique with In-House Alterations
$ 277,000
For 28 years, this Nashville-area boutique has built a loyal following as a destination for prom, bridal, and special-occasion dresses — and it's one of the only shops in the region offering professional alterations in-house. That combination creates two income streams: seasonal dress sales and steady, year-round alteration work, including from customers who bought their dresses elsewhere. The business carries approximately $400,000 in branded designer inventory at cost, and the $277,000 asking price means a buyer acquires that inventory at a meaningful discount before even accounting for the brand, vendor relationships, or equipment included in the sale. The owners are retiring after nearly two decades at the helm and are offering full transition support, including personal introductions to longstanding vendor relationships and a guided trip to the Atlanta apparel market to help the new owner select the next season's inventory. Out-of-state customers regularly travel in from Kentucky and Alabama due to limited competition in those markets — entirely through organic word-of-mouth and search visibility, with no advertising spend to date. This is a turnkey opportunity for a buyer with retail, fashion, or alteration experience looking for an established customer base and immediate cash flow from day one. The current owners intentionally slowed inventory purchasing ahead of retirement, which has reduced recent revenue — but it also means a new owner has a clean opportunity to restock for the 2027 prom season with vendor relationships already in place. Alteration demand currently exceeds capacity, leaving room to grow that revenue line by adding alteration staff or capacity. The business has never advertised, so there's a clear opening to grow the out-of-state customer base through even modest digital marketing. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Established-Nashville-Boutique-with-In-House-Alterations

High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run
$ 2,200,000
High-Margin Flooring Distributor - $556K SDE, Easy to Run, No Employees This is a rare opportunity to acquire a simple, highly profitable wholesale flooring distribution business built for the repeat buyer the retail model doesn’t serve. Big‑box chains are designed for homeowners — not builders, contractors, rehabbers, investors, or restoration companies who need consistent SKUs, deep in-stock inventory, and pricing that protects their margins. This company fills that gap. The operation is intentionally lean and easy to run: one owner, no employees, no installation, no job‑site work. The business simply imports proven products by the container, stocks running lines year‑round for immediate availability, and loads orders in minutes. Processes are streamlined, overhead is low, and demand is steady. More than 95% of revenue comes from organic, word‑of‑mouth repeat buyers. Trailing‑12 SDE is $556K on $1.82M revenue, with year‑over‑year growth and virtually no marketing or sales staff, leaving the core growth levers untouched. Included in the sale: a fully equipped warehouse with a below‑market lease, forklifts, delivery truck, racking, a 1,500+ customer database, and long‑standing direct‑import supplier relationships. Ideal for a hands‑on owner‑operator or a buyer/investor who prefers to install a manager and step back. The seller, a 30+ year industry veteran, will provide structured training and a smooth transition. Confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. The business name, exact location, and full CIM are provided only after a signed NDA and proof of funds. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/High-Margin-Flooring-Distributor-556K-SDE-Easy-to-Run

Premium Multi-Unit Children’s Haircare Portfolio
$ 150,000
Available for immediate acquisition is a two-unit portfolio of a premier, modern children’s haircare brand. Strategically anchored in Nashville’s most affluent family corridors—Green Hills and Cool Springs—this business has successfully moved the "kids' cut" from a commodity service to a high-end boutique experience. The current ownership has completed the heavy capital investment phase, spending nearly $600,000 on prime real estate build-outs, site selection, and brand positioning. This is a "Right-Sizing" opportunity for a disciplined owner-operator to step into a fully-staffed, turnkey infrastructure and apply professional management to drive immediate bottom-line performance.

Third License Included: The acquisition price includes a pre-approved third location license, providing a clear path to scale and the ability to amortize management costs across a larger footprint. Boutique Revenue Model: A diversified income stream including premium $40+ haircuts, high-margin "experience" add-ons, and a curated retail gallery of non-toxic family products. The Ideal Buyer Profile Initially this is not a "passive" investment; it is a Strategic Turn around Opportunity. This portfolio is best suited for an owner with: Operational Discipline: The ability to audit and optimize labor structures and cost of goods. Marketing Vision: An understanding of how to leverage Nashville’s dense family-influencer networks to drive chair occupancy. Expansion Mindset: A buyer ready to execute the third location and dominate the Middle Tennessee market. Why This Acquisition? For the price of a single new-build startup, an investor can bypass 12+ months of construction delays and skyrocketing build-out costs to own a two-unit platform with immediate cash flow. The "hard work" of the startup phase is complete; the opportunity now lies in sophisticated execution. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/nashville-metro/listings/Premium-Multi-Unit-Children’s-Haircare-Portfolio

DreamProfits Sleep Boutique — Premium Two-Location Sleep Specialty Retailer What if you owned a business that made money whether you showed up or not? Not theoretically. Not "someday." Right now. Today. This one already does. Walk into either showroom and something happens that most retail businesses never achieve — customers forget they came in to shop. The environment does the selling. Immaculate design, signature scenting, premium displays, and a no-pressure experience so refined that customers drive past competitors to get here. They have for eight years. They will for eight more. Here is what makes this different from every other listing you will read today. The owner hasn't walked through the front door in over a year. The business just had its best revenue year in company history. Think about that for a moment. A full-time professional manager runs everything across both locations — hiring, firing, accounting, inventory, vendors, staff, and customer service. Nothing falls through the cracks. Nothing needs the owner. Nothing will need you either, unless you want it to. This is not semi-absentee. This is fully, completely, genuinely absentee. Two established showrooms. Eight years of brand equity. 100% customer recommendation rate. A+ BBB rating. Nationwide Buying Group membership. Seven premium brand authorizations. 64% gross margins expanding every year. Record 2025 revenue approaching one million dollars. The second location is still in its growth phase. The best years may not have happened yet. SBA pre-approvable with 10% down. Seller financing available. The owner is a sophisticated multi-business operator reallocating capital — this is a strategic exit at the peak of performance, not a business someone is running away from. The buyers who hesitate on listings like this are the ones who tell the story later. Qualified buyers receive the full financial package upon NDA execution.

Specialized Pest Detection Business – Trained K-9 Teams
Call/Email
First of its kind in Tennessee, this established niche inspection business serves the hospitality and tourism markets of East Tennessee using trained K-9 detection teams. Operating since 2008, the company was one of the first of its kind in the United States and has built a strong reputation among hotels, resorts, cabins, and property management companies throughout the Smoky Mountain region, along with select residential customers. The business utilizes professionally trained detection dogs capable of identifying pest activity with significantly greater accuracy than traditional visual inspections. This specialized service model creates a meaningful barrier to entry, as trained K-9 assets, certified handlers, proprietary systems, and long-standing industry relationships require both time and capital to replicate. Revenue is supported by a mix of recurring inspection accounts and on-demand service work, with a significant portion tied to hospitality clients who require routine inspections. The company generates consistent revenue and strong cash flow, supported by a lean operational structure and an experienced team. Trained canine handlers are currently in place and expected to remain following a transition, providing continuity for a new owner. The sale includes trained K-9 assets, service vehicles, movable K-9 kennels and related equipment, proprietary reporting software, established branding, and an active client base. The kennel system is designed to be relocated, allowing flexibility in establishing a new operating location. The business is currently home-based, and multiple housing options exist for the K-9 assets. Buyers may choose to utilize an existing garage, outbuilding, or kennel facility on their own property. Other options include commercial boarding facilities and handler-based arrangements. The current operation is housed within a modest kennel facility, demonstrating that a large footprint is not required. The seller is willing to assist with temporary housing during the transition period while a buyer establishes permanent accommodations. This opportunity is well suited for a pest control company seeking a strategic acquisition, an owner-operator, or an entrepreneur interested in owning a specialized service business. The business currently operates with trained handlers performing the majority of inspection work, while ownership primarily oversees administration, scheduling, and operational support. With the right management structure and personnel in place, the business has the potential to be operated on a semi-absentee basis. Previous pest control experience is not required. Buyers who are comfortable working with dogs and managing day-to-day operations can learn the business through comprehensive seller training and established third-party certification programs. The seller will provide transition support to ensure a smooth onboarding process and is willing to remain available as a consultant following the sale, providing ongoing training, operational guidance, and industry knowledge as needed. Get in touch with Sheila Hansen of Transworld Business Advisors of Knoxville today to request an NDA to learn more about this special business listing. Opportunities exist to expand into new geographic markets, increase marketing efforts, and add additional canine teams to service a broader area. Additional upside includes offering extended hours, emergency/on-call services, and strengthening recurring inspection contracts within the hospitality sector. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/knoxvillechattanooga/listings/Specialized-Pest-Detection-Business-–-Trained-K-9-Teams

CDB Business in a Box - Asset and Proprietary Sale
$ 99,999.99
Being one of the first operators in the hemp space, the company integrated vertically early on to be a leading manufacturer and retailer serving Middle Tennessee, and beyond. Whether it is CBD, Delta-8, THCa, or pure Hemp Seeds, PHC have embedded the pure nature of the plant into our fibers and continue to do our part to raise awareness and accessibility. The global CBD market is experiencing rapid expansion, with estimates suggesting it will reach between $12.6 billion and $16.32 billion in 2026, growing from 2025 levels due to increased consumer awareness, product diversification, and potential regulatory shifts. Growth is driven by the popularity of hemp-derived products, particularly in therapeutic, cosmetic, and wellness sectors, with North America holding the largest market share. Key Growth Drivers and Trends for 2026 Market Size & Growth: The market is forecasted to grow at a high CAGR, with some reports predicting it to reach over $16 billion by 2026. Another analysis suggests a potential jump from $77.14 billion in 2025 to $98.27 billion in 2026, though estimates vary widely based on what is included in the "CBD oil/consumer health" definition. Segment Trends: Hemp-derived products dominate the market, accounting for over 58% of the share in 2025. Therapeutic-grade products, such as those for pain relief, anxiety, and sleep enhancement, are expected to lead in demand. Regulatory Changes: The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is expected to reschedule or reclassify CBD compounds, potentially providing a more stable legal framework. However, new restrictions on THC percentages (e.g., limits of 0.4 milligrams) could alter the landscape for current products. Product Innovation: The market is shifting toward personalized, high-quality, and niche products, including functional beverages, pet wellness, and skincare topicals. Regional Growth: While North America (specifically the U.S.) leads, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is emerging as a fast-growing market due to increased industrial and consumer adoption. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/murfreesboro/listings/CDB-Business-in-a-Box-Asset-and-Proprietary-Sale

Are you looking to take the reins of a well-established Concrete Repair and Finishing business in the heart of Southeast Tennessee? Look no further! This highly successful business, founded in 2001, is now up for sale, presenting a golden opportunity for savvy entrepreneurs. The Seller's journey with his former partners began 25 years ago, and after buying them out three years later, he has steered this ship to success as the sole proprietor. Overcoming the misconception of merely providing 'handyman services', this business has cultivated a strong brand name that resonates with customers seeking professional and reliable concrete services. This business is not merely a steady cash-flow operation—it is a platform for significant expansion. The following opportunities exist for a new owner to increase revenue, market share, and enterprise value: Market Tailwinds Southeast Tennessee is experiencing a sustained building boom: new single-family homes, apartment complexes, and commercial projects are under construction across the region. This creates a growing need decorative/repair services. The business’s existing reputation positions it to capture a larger share of this expanding market without requiring heavy marketing spend. Add a Second Crew Currently, the business operates with two experienced employees—a highly efficient team that keeps overhead low. Adding a second crew (two additional finishers) could at least double job capacity, enabling the company to take on more projects simultaneously. Given the local demand, this could lead to a 60–100% increase in annual revenue within 12–18 months. Expand Service Offerings The existing expertise in decorative concrete (stamped, stained, exposed aggregate, walkways, patios, pool decks) can be marketed more aggressively to the higher-income homeowner segment. Additional services such as commercial parking lot repair could be added with minimal training or equipment investment, opening new revenue streams. Target Commercial & Property Management Contracts The business currently focuses primarily on residential clients. There is a large, untapped market for commercial concrete work—tenant improvements, sidewalk repairs, loading docks, and maintenance contracts with property management firms and HOAs. Securing even two or three recurring commercial contracts could provide stable, predictable income. Geographic Expansion The business is well-positioned to extend its service radius to adjacent counties and growing exurbs. With one additional crew, service can reach new communities without overextending the core team. Equipment & Operational Leverage The existing equipment fleet is well-maintained and paid for. Additional equipment can be acquired with modest capital and quickly deployed to increase throughput. The business has no debt, so financing for growth is readily available. Summary for Investors This is a high-margin business with a strong local brand and a proven operating history. The growth levers are low-risk, low-capital, and directly aligned with market demand. A motivated owner with a modest investment in additional labor and marketing could realistically double revenue within two to three years, while maintaining the company’s reputation for quality. These projections are based on market data and operational assumptions; detailed financial modeling is available upon request under a Non-Disclosure Agreement. With the high number of homes, apartments and commercial buildings being erected in this ever increasingly popular area of SE TN, the possibilities are almost limitless. The company has 2 employees who have over 12 years of experience and are expected to stay on. Their residential customer demographics are higher income homes in the need of repair or adding decorative touches to their concrete surfaces. https://tworld.com/locations/Tennessee/knoxvillechattanooga/listings/Own-a-Home-Services-Company-Catering-to-High-Income-Residences-

Turnkey Restaurant | Rebrand or Relocate | Prime Knoxville Locale
$ 49,900
Turnkey restaurant offering dine-in, takeout, delivery, and catering services in a high-traffic West Knoxville location surrounded by popular shopping and retail. Currently operating as a recognized BBQ concept with a varied menu, large dining area, and strong potential for growth under hands-on ownership. Keep the concept or bring your own. This doesn't have to stay as a BBQ restaurant, the area supports higher-end casual dining, and there is a gap for unique local concepts. Key features include: Prime location in a vibrant shopping district Option to add beer sales (license/permits permitting) Fully equipped with quality furniture, fixtures, and equipment (valued over list price) Long-term lease available to qualified buyers Currently run as absentee with Manager and part-time staff who desire to stay on Recent operational improvements have driven profitability (shift to efficient staffing model) Buyers have excellent flexibility: continue the established BBQ brand (leveraging recognition, systems, and customer base) or rebrand by converting to your own concept—ideal for an independent restaurant, fast-casual, burgers and beer, pizza, or specialty food operation (subject to lease approval). Seller is highly motivated—having sold one location already, the owner seeks to focus on other ventures and is open to seller financing for qualified buyers with a solid down payment. Serious, reasonable offers encouraged. Ideal Buyers: Experienced restaurant operators or ambitious owner-operators Food enthusiasts or culinary professionals Multi-unit owners expanding their portfolio Local entrepreneurs or investor groups seeking a turnkey opportunity This is a priced-to-move asset with immediate usability, proven infrastructure, and clear upside for an engaged buyer ready to drive results.
