Profitable, Residential Plumbing Company, SBA Pre-qualified.
Established, highly-rated residential plumbing service company in the heart of Silicon Valley. Strong margins, loyal repeat customers, and clear room to grow. This is a well-respected, independently owned plumbing service business operating throughout Santa Clara County for over five years. The company has built its reputation on five-star service, a 100% money-back guarantee (invoked only once in the company’s history), fast response times, and meticulous, clean workmanship. The result: a steady stream of repeat and referral business that continues to come in even after the owners deliberately scaled back paid advertising. The work is approximately 90% residential service and repair — leaks, clogs, water heaters/tankless, repipes, and sewer work — the high-frequency, recession-resistant “bread and butter” of the trade. The company is also equipped for higher-ticket jobs most one-truck competitors can’t touch: trenchless pipe bursting, hydro-jetting, and commercial-grade ProPress/MegaPress piping. All work is permitted and performed under an active California C-36 contractor’s license. Why this business stands out: • Exceptional profitability. 2025 gross margin of roughly 83% and seller’s discretionary earnings of about $259,000 (single-owner basis) on $814,000 of revenue. • Lean, low-overhead model. No costly commercial lease; the operation runs on a small, cross-trained team and modern field-management software (dispatching, invoicing, and inventory). • Reputation as a moat. Years of five-star Google and Yelp reviews and an established referral network of contractors and property managers drive low-cost, repeat lead flow. • Clear, fundable upside. Revenue was intentionally right-sized as the owners reduced staff and ad spend; margins expanded sharply in the process, and 2026 is rebounding (tracking roughly $90,000/month, well above 2025’s pace). A hands-on owner can reactivate advertising, raise a price book that hasn’t been updated in 2–3 years, launch the long-planned membership program, and restore after-hours service to grow from here. Ideal buyer: A licensed plumber or an existing trade/home-services company seeking an established, profitable, turnkey platform in one of the country’s strongest service markets. A California C-36 license (held by the buyer or a qualifying employee) is required to operate. Serious, qualified buyers will receive a detailed Confidential Information Memorandum after signing a nondisclosure agreement. Please do not visit the business or contact employees or customers.

Turnkey Commercial Kitchen + Café Space | $75K FF&E | Alameda County
Move-In Ready Step into a fully operational, professionally equipped commercial kitchen and bistro space — no buildout required, no permits to pull. With over $75,000 in food-grade equipment already in place, this is a rare low-barrier entry point into one of California's most food-forward markets. The Space At 1,750 sq. ft., the layout supports both retail front-of-house service and high-volume back-of-house production simultaneously. The kitchen is built for serious output: a three-burner Chinese range, two stock ranges, a four-burner range, deep fryer, full walk-in cooler, three freezers (including a 3-door unit), refrigerated prep table, ice maker, and both a drink and wine fridge. Everything is in place for day-one operations. The Opportunity The current owners used this space for food production and are relocating to a larger facility — the business is available because they've outgrown it, not because of performance issues. That leaves the door open for: - A café or specialty coffee concept (neighboring deli drives consistent daily foot traffic) - A ghost kitchen or delivery-first brand (ideal kitchen infrastructure, parking on-site) - A catering or meal prep operation (high-capacity equipment, flexible layout) - A new restaurant concept with immediate dine-in or to-go capability Location & Lease Positioned next to a high-traffic deli in a desirable Alameda County corridor, the space benefits from built-in customer flow and convenient on-site parking — a genuine competitive advantage in this market. A favorable lease is in place at $5,964/month; lease terms available upon inquiry. The Ask $75,000 — representing the full value of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Cash offers preferred. Inquire for full details including lease length and to schedule a walk-through.
