The Weekly Prospect

🔍 Outposts

Listings found only on small regional brokers. Not on any aggregator.

Outpost 01

Boston Metrowest Collision Repair Shop (est. 1948)

A premier collision repair operation in the affluent Middlesex County corridor outside Boston, running since 1948 with certified repairs, modern equipment, and a 5,000+ square foot facility. Nearly $1M in cash flow on $3.9M revenue with a management team already in place, which is the part that matters most. Listed on Baystate Business Brokers, a small New England firm. Watch-outs: collision is insurance-driven, so confirm the direct-repair-program relationships with the major carriers transfer cleanly. Also verify the estate shop rate pacing against local competitors and that the management team signs on under new ownership.

Outpost 02

Southwest Florida Coffee Roaster and Distributor

A family-owned roastery and distribution business doing $3.7M in revenue with $947K in cash flow. That is a 26% margin in a category where 12-15% is typical, which tells you the wholesale book is doing real work. Florida coffee demand is sticky and the real estate is offered separately so a buyer can match the deal to their financing structure. Listed on ABBrokers, a small Florida brokerage. Watch-outs: family-owned often means owner-run roasting relationships and route knowledge, so ask how transferable the wholesale accounts and roast profiles are before leaning in.

Outpost 03

Massachusetts Marine Transport Equipment OEM (est. 1986)

A 40-year OEM designing and manufacturing custom hydraulic transport rigs for marinas, boatyards, and yacht transporters nationwide. Fourteen employees, in-house fabrication and engineering, built-to-order with meaningful repeat business. The 40-year operating history and national customer base are the kind of moat you cannot rebuild. Listed on TBX LLC, a small New England firm. $626K SDE on $2.1M revenue is a 30% margin, strong for custom fabrication. Asking price is not published — expect it to come out in first conversation. Watch-outs: custom marine fab is labor-tight and relies on tribal knowledge. Confirm the shop supervisor and senior fabricators stay, and that the engineering drawings and build specs are documented rather than in anyone is head.

Outpost 04

Remote Financial Services Lead-Gen Platform

A remote digital referral and lead-generation platform serving multiple financial services verticals, built on a proprietary CRM with automated workflows. $1.1M SDE on $2.6M revenue with documented processes and a tenured remote team. The scalability story is real when the lead engine is software plus a team, not a single-seat operator. Listed on Viking Mergers. Watch-outs: lead-gen margins depend on one or two acquisition channels and the LTV/CAC math. Confirm which verticals drive the revenue, what the top advertiser concentration looks like, and whether the CRM platform is a moat or just a wrapper.

💎 Diamonds

The best deals in the country this week. Every source, every state.

Diamond 01

Texas Landscape Architecture Design-Build Firm (40 years)

A 40-year-old outdoor design-build firm serving affluent luxury residential clients in a fast-growing Texas corridor. $1.8M SDE on $5.5M revenue with a 33% margin and SBA preapproval in hand. A 1.4x multiple is remarkably cheap for a business with this track record, backlog, and customer profile. Cross-listed across multiple sources, which is why it is running here in Diamonds rather than Outposts. Watch-outs: design-build is project-based and reliant on a small group of designers and project leads. Confirm the backlog is signed and funded, not just pipeline, and that the key designers sign retention agreements.

Diamond 02

Idaho High-Purity Mineral Processing Operation

A producing mine and processing operation making high-purity calcium carbonate and bentonite for industrial and agricultural buyers. $660K SDE on $1.1M revenue is a 59% margin, which is what you want to see in an asset-backed minerals play with reserves under long-term agreement. $1.8M asking at 2.7x is cheap for a vertically integrated extraction business. Listed on BizBuySell. Watch-outs: mining is all about the reserves agreement, environmental permits, and whether the milling and bagging capacity can actually scale. Pull the mineral rights and permit documents early, and confirm customer concentration across the buyer book.

Diamond 03

New Mexico Telecom Directional Drilling Contractor

An Albuquerque-based directional drilling contractor running eight years in low-voltage telecom and utility installations. $603K SDE on $1.3M revenue, a 47% margin, and a 2.1x multiple on a tight home-based operation with low overhead. Real infrastructure demand sits behind this business. Listed on BizBuySell. Watch-outs: utility contracting is project-based with crew-availability risk. Confirm the bore operators and locators stay, the equipment is owned outright, and the customer book is not concentrated on a single telecom prime. Also verify that bonding capacity transfers to the buyer.
