Specialized Pest Detection Business – Trained K-9 Teams
$ 675,000
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

Cuyahoga County, Ohio
Pet Grooming Salon in Cuyahoga County Priced at 2.4x Earnings
$ 184,900
Asking $184,900 with $76,129 in Seller Discretionary Earnings on $417,452 in Annual Revenue. Revenue reached $417,452 in the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the fourth consecutive annual increase from $387,506 in 2023. Gross margin held above 97% in every one of those periods as grooming supplies run 2.2% of revenue. The salon performs full grooms, bath and brush service, nail trims, ear cleaning, de-shedding, and specialty breed cuts, all by appointment. Doodle breeds make up at least 50% of the appointment book, a coat type that requires grooming on a 4 to 6 week cycle rather than an occasional visit. Roughly 70% of clients schedule their next appointment at checkout, which fills the calendar 4 to 6 weeks forward. Service is paid in full at the time of service through, so the business carries zero accounts receivable. Advertising and website spend totaled $1,196 over the trailing twelve months, 0.3% of revenue, and two standing referral sources are in place with a natural pet store and a veterinary clinic. The owner performs no grooming, covers reception two to four days per week, and handles ordering, payroll, and weekly reporting. Owner compensation carried on the books is $36,000, and staff wages run 57% to 58% of revenue. The buyer acquires $81,708 in original cost fixed assets, made up of $43,595 in leasehold improvements recently completed and $38,113 in grooming equipment. Client records, appointment history, the business name, the phone number, the website, and all vendor accounts transfer at closing. First half 2026 revenue of $208,056 ran 6.3% ahead of the same period in 2025 while staff wages came in $491 below the prior year, lifting half-year net income from $15,430 to $24,094. Trailing twelve month seller discretionary earnings of $76,129 recovered $15,244 from the 2025 figure of $60,885. No license, permit, or certification is required to groom pets in Ohio. Key Highlights Asking $184,900 against trailing twelve month revenue of $417,452 and seller discretionary earnings of $76,129, a 2.4x multiple Over 15 years of operating history Leased suite with 3 years remaining and a renewal option, annual rent of $16,500, landlord will issue a new lease to a buyer who passes a credit check Revenue increased in every measured period, up 7.7% from $387,506 in 2023, with first half 2026 running 6.3% ahead of first half 2025 Approximately 70% of clients rebook at checkout on a 4 to 6 week service cycle Financials Summary Item Figure Annual Revenue (TTM 6/30/2026) $417,452 Seller Discretionary Earnings (TTM 6/30/2026) $76,129 Asking Price $184,900 Earnings Multiple 2.4x trailing twelve month SDE Gross Margin (TTM) 97.8% Revenue 2023 $387,506 Revenue 2024 $394,223 Revenue 2025 $405,113 SDE 2023 $66,961 SDE 2024 $81,826 SDE 2025 $60,885 Owner Compensation Added Back (TTM) $36,000, per filed returns and payroll records Fixed Assets Conveyed (original cost) $81,708, including $43,595 in leasehold improvements and $38,113 in grooming equipment Inventory Grooming supplies only, at 2.2% of revenue, with normal working stock conveyed at closing Transaction Details Asset purchase at $184,900 6 full-time and 2 part-time employees remain after closing, including the office manager Leased premises with 3 years remaining and a renewal option. The landlord will allow a buyer to sign a new lease subject to a credit check. Annual rent is $16,500 The owner performs no grooming, covers reception two to four days per week, and handles ordering, payroll, and weekly reporting Ideal Buyer Profile This fits an owner operator or a first-time buyer who wants a staffed service business rather than a job behind a grooming table. No grooming license, certification, or trade skill is required in Ohio, and 6 full-time groomers are already in place, so the work is scheduling, hiring, vendor management, and local marketing. Pricing is reset only when supply costs rise. A 5% increase across the service menu adds approximately $20,900 in annual revenue, and with grooming supplies at 2.2% of revenue nearly all of it reaches earnings. Cost of goods sold at 2.2% of revenue shows almost no product resale. The salon already buys shampoo and tools from a wholesale account held for 8 years, so a retail rack in the existing reception area adds a revenue line with a small first inventory order. Grooming classes were introduced recently and are taught by staff groomers in the existing grooming room, with participants paying per class. Class capacity uses hours the salon already pays rent and utilities on, and requires no equipment beyond what is installed. Website and advertising spend was $1,196 over the trailing twelve months. Online self-scheduling runs on a monthly software fee, cuts no-show rates, and removes front-desk labor from the two to four reception days the owner currently covers. Rent, utilities, and insurance total $30,383 annually and do not vary with hours of operation. Groomers work four days a week, so 8 stations sit idle on the fifth day and on evenings that the fixed cost base already covers. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/clevelandmetro/listings/Pet-Grooming-Salon-in-Cuyahoga-County-Priced-at-2-4x-Earnings

Established Dog Grooming Salon – Loyal Clients, Prime Location
$ 215,000
This established, reputation-built dog grooming business has become a go-to destination for pet owners across Central North Carolina, built on years of loyal clientele, glowing reviews, and a steady stream of repeat business. Housed in a well-appointed, fully equipped facility, the business offers a full menu of grooming services. With a trained staff, efficient systems already in place, and a growing local pet-owner base hungry for quality care, this is a rare opportunity to step into a profitable, passion-driven business with immediate cash flow and long-term growth potential — no start-up guesswork required. While the business has built a strong foundation and loyal customer base, there is significant untapped potential for a new owner to accelerate growth. Opportunities include expanding service hours to capture more weekend and evening demand, adding complementary offerings such as pet boarding, daycare, or spa-style add-on services, and building out a retail line of grooming products for additional revenue per visit. A more robust digital marketing strategy — including social media advertising, local SEO, and a customer loyalty or subscription program — could further boost client retention and referrals. Additionally, the growing pet ownership trend in Central NC's expanding suburban communities presents a strong opportunity to open a second location or explore mobile grooming services to reach an even wider customer base. https://tworld.com/locations/North-Carolina/centralnc/listings/Established-Dog-Grooming-Salon-–-Loyal-Clients-Prime-Location
