Description
Tier 1 Defense Manufacturer with 30+ Years in operations located in Southern California – Real Estate Available for purchase alongside business
Established more than three decades ago, this Southern California manufacturer is a trusted Tier 1 supplier to a major prime defense contractor, producing precision components and assemblies for critical armored vehicle programs with long-standing government funding.
The company operates from a 23,000 sq. ft. fully integrated facility, offering laser cutting, CNC machining, forming, welding, and CARC (Chemical Agent Resistant Coating) painting. This vertical integration enables superior control over timelines and quality, and allows the business to handle urgent orders competitors cannot accommodate.
The workforce of approximately 35 employees includes a long-tenured management team with deep institutional knowledge, ensuring operations are not owner-dependent. Almost all of the production consists of repeat orders tied to ongoing defense programs.
Financial Highlights (rounded):
Revenue: ~$13M (2024)
Adjusted EBITDA: ~$2.5M–$3.0M
Consistent backlog of work with additional orders available from existing customer
Key Investment Considerations:
Established Tier 1 supplier status — very difficult for new entrants to obtain
Facility ownership available; real estate can be included with the transaction
Strong repeat business with stable government-backed funding
Growth opportunities by accepting additional orders, diversifying into other defense contractors, or re-entering aerospace components
Reason for Sale: Ownership is preparing for retirement and will provide transition support to ensure continuity.
Huge upside with more requests for work than the company can currently handle.

Semi-Absentee Donut Franchise – $75K SDE, Manager in Place
$ 175,000
Established National Donut Franchise — Coastal Orange County Beach Community, CA (Semi-Absentee) Established single location of a nationally recognized, made-to-order specialty donut brand, located in a high-traffic retail plaza in an affluent coastal Orange County beach community. Revenue reached record levels in 2025 (~$592K), with walk-in sales up 8% in 2024 and nearly 9% in 2025. Two-year average Adjusted SDE of ~$75K and ~$70K Adjusted EBITDA on an absentee basis. A dedicated full-time General Manager runs the store and has committed to staying post-close — a true semi-absentee opportunity at an accessible price point where a passive investor does not need to work in the business. Manager compensation is fully reflected in operating expenses, so there is no replacement cost to the buyer. The unit operates well above the franchise's national average unit volume per the current FDD, with established B2B catering and off-premise channels already producing meaningful revenue. Direct landlord lease at a competitive rate with options extending control into the early 2030s. The franchisor has agreed to assign the existing franchise agreement and waive renewal fees. Asset sale, no transferred liabilities, eight-plus years of operating history. Not a distressed sale — owner is reallocating capital to other businesses. The seller's second location under the same brand is offered separately — buyers interested in both units may inquire about package terms. Financing — please read before inquiring: Offered on a cash or seller-financed basis and is NOT an SBA transaction. Buyers requiring SBA or bank financing are not a fit. For a qualified buyer, the seller will carry 25% with a 75% buyer down payment at close; all-cash welcome and may receive preference. Buyer Qualification Requirements: Cash to close: minimum 75% down (~$131,250); plan ~$182K–$197K total including closing costs and working capital. Net worth: minimum $150,000 per the franchisor's current FDD; liquidity sufficient to close without bank financing. Experience & approvals: buyer must qualify with the franchisor and the landlord (net worth/liquidity at least equal to the current tenant, plus restaurant/retail operating capability) and provide a personal guaranty on the lease. Food-service/QSR experience preferred. To move forward: signed personal financial statement and proof of funds required before any confidential details, financials, or site visits. Brand, location, equipment list, and store-level financials disclosed to prequalified buyers after NDA. All inquiries through the broker. Unlike most listings at this price point, the growth foundation is already built: active catering channels, corporate accounts, and off-premise platforms are producing revenue today and growing. A buyer can scale what's working — deeper catering penetration into the surrounding commercial and school market, delivery-platform optimization, and the franchisor's unused corporate loyalty and SMS marketing tools. Margin improvement is a second lever: 2026 year-to-date net margin has already recovered to 14.6% versus 6.9% in 2025, and an owner applying closer cost controls on food and supplies can capture more of the store's record top line as profit. https://tworld.com/locations/California/newportbeach/listings/Semi-Absentee-Donut-Franchise-–-75K-SDE-Manager-in-Place

Affluent, retrofit-rich housing stock (median home value ~$960K, large share built pre-1990) plus California Title 24 energy-code tailwinds. System benchmarks per the franchisor's FDD Item 19: ~$712K average revenue for reporting franchisees; ~$847K for the affiliate location.

An institutional retail install-program lead channel serving the territory is available — details under NDA. Territory-package financing available to qualified buyers. This is a franchise territory offering, not an operating business; no historical cash flow. Sign NDA and complete buyer profile for the full CIM. Eight-territory footprint allows phased multi-truck expansion; royalty stepdowns above $1M/$2M reward consolidated volume. Growth drivers: aging owner-occupied housing stock, Title 24/electrification retrofit demand, utility rebate programs, commercial new construction, and add-on service lines (air sealing, duct cleaning, sound mitigation, attic fans). Retail install-program channel detailed under NDA. https://tworld.com/locations/California/newportbeach/listings/Own-All-of-Orange-County-—-Insulation-Franchise-Territory-450K

Absentee Pelvic Health PT Practice with Excellent Cash Flow
$ 1,350,000
This business is one of the most established and recognized niche physical therapy practices in the United States. Founded in 10 years ago in Southern California, the cash-based practice has generated more than $10 million in cumulative revenue. Annual revenue has been above $1 million for five consecutive years and finished 2025 with $1.7 in revenue. Over the past decade, the practice has become a destination for patients seeking the highest level of health care, earning an exceptional reputation among patients, physicians, and physical therapists throughout Southern California. Today, the business operates from a purpose-built 10-treatment-room facility, employs a full leadership team, and requires less than four hours per week of owner involvement. Following a major expansion in 2021, the current 10-treatment-room facility has substantial unused capacity, providing significant opportunity for future growth without additional real estate investment. The practice combines strong profitability, established systems, market-leading brand recognition, and significant growth opportunities within one of the fastest-growing specialty areas in healthcare. This business has been SBA lender pre-qualified, allowing qualified buyers to acquire a business generating more than $400,000 in annual cash flow with as little as 10% down. A signed NDA and fully completed Buyer Profile is required for all Buyers to complete before any confidential information will be shared with the Buyer. An active California PT License is required to purchase this business. For more information, please reach out to the listing agent, Greg Moses at gmoses@tworld.com, or by calling (714)-264-0243 This sector of PT continues to experience rapid growth nationally, creating significant opportunities for future expansion. Key growth opportunities include: Maximize Existing Capacity Following the 2021 expansion, the facility now contains ten treatment rooms. Management believes the current facility could ultimately support annual revenue in excess of $3 million without requiring additional physical expansion. The primary constraint today is lead generation rather than facility capacity. Expand Existing Marketing Efforts Additional investment in social media advertising, physician relationship development, and digital marketing could substantially increase lead volume. https://tworld.com/locations/California/irvinelongbeach/listings/Absentee-Pelvic-Health-PT-Practice-with-Excellent-Cash-Flow
