Self-Funded Search: Aerospace & Aviation Businesses for Sale in FL & TX?
About a month ago, I made a post asking about home service-based businesses in TX or FL. After speaking with two other people in the ETA space, I realized that I might've been overlooking a niche that I know, have experience in and would love to buy a business in...the aerospace/aviation industry.
I'm an Air Force officer separating in June 2027 and I'm looking to acquire a business that will allow me to utilize the skills the Air Force has taught me during my early years as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer.
My Buy Box:
-Sector: Aerospace & Aviation (Cleaning, detailing, parts distribution, aircraft maintenance, aircraft ground equipment maintenance, etc.)
-Size: $400k+ SDE; roughly $1-$2.5M purchase price
Financing: SBA 7(a) -- already pre-approved
-Target metros:
--Texas: Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston
--Florida: Tampa, Palm Beach, Sarasota/Naples, Fort Lauderdale/Miami, Jacksonville
If you know anyone who has experience in this field, can give advice or knows of a broker that's deep in this space please let me know.
I appreciate everyone's support and encouragement during the early stages of my search.
