25-year mold remediation and inspection business in Omaha, NE who is exploring a sale driven by lifestyle preferences (travel, grandchildren) rather than financial or operational distress. The owner is not running a formal process and is open to any attractive offer at current scale — or willing to grow the business modestly before exit if that drives better economics. This is a founder-direct opportunity with an unusually strong commercial client mix for a business of this size. It suits a self-funded searcher, independent sponsor, SBA-backed operator-buyer, or small restoration/remediation holdco. The Good 25-year operating history under one owner; well-established local brand in Omaha 2025 revenue ~$1M–$1.1M, trending up year-over-year Blue-chip recurring commercial clients including Kiewit Construction, Omaha Zoo, and NP Dodge Real Estate — these are sticky, repeat-call-when-needed relationships rather than one-off project work No customer concentration (no single customer >15% of revenue) Owned operating facility held in a separate LLC — real estate can be included in deal or structured as sale-leaseback Lean operation: 4 full-time field employees + owner; high implied productivity per headcount Owner states the business has meaningful scaling headroom — believes $10M+ revenue is achievable in Nebraska with a younger, growth-oriented operator No succession pressure; owner's children are not interested in the business Owner is flexible on transition structure and willing to stay involved if growth requires it The Bad / Things to Diligence Self-reported profit margin is ~50%, which is almost certainly overstated for remediation services — normalized EBITDA after owner comp and proper add-backs likely lands in the 25-35% range. Buyer should expect a full QoE exercise. Owner-dependent: business reputation and quality control are centered on the owner personally; much of the client relationships run through him directly Limited organizational structure beyond owner — no clear second-in-command for operations Commercial-leaning book in a vertical where most PE roll-ups (Guardian, Peak Alliance) target residential mitigation — may limit institutional strategic buyer pool Scale limits buyer pool: below most restoration platform EBITDA floors Owner's stated lifestyle preference (travel, grandkids, hands-off mode) may limit post-close operational involvement even if the deal structure contemplates it Deal Profile (rough) Revenue: ~$1M–$1.1M (2025) EBITDA: TBD — owner says 50% profit; true normalized likely 25-35% Geography: Omaha, NE Vertical: Mold remediation + inspection + property damage assessment (commercial-leaning) Ownership: Sole owner Real estate: Owned via separate LLC; available for sale or sale-leaseback Debt: None disclosed Employees: 4 FT + owner Owner post-sale: Flexible — lifestyle-driven; prefers clean transaction but open to scaling before exit Timeline: No urgency; driven by lifestyle, not financial pressure Process Direct to owner, no broker involved.
