Add-On: IL Based / Inspection & Fleet Repair / $783K TTM Adj. EBITDA
Add-On Opportunity: Illinois Based / Propane Cargo Tank Inspection & Fleet Repair / $783K TTM Adj. EBITDA / 28.2% Margin / Federally Required Inspections COMPANY OVERVIEW The Company is an Illinois-based commercial fleet-services provider specializing in federally required cargo-tank inspections, testing, and repair services for propane delivery vehicles. Its services include annual external inspections and leakage tests, periodic internal inspections and pressure tests, pump rebuilds, piping and valve repair, welding, safety-system diagnostics, parts supply, and routine commercial fleet maintenance. Federal regulations require propane cargo tanks to complete annual inspections and leakage tests, along with internal inspections and pressure tests every five or ten years, depending on the tank. These requirements create recurring customer contact and frequently generate follow-on repair and parts revenue when deficiencies are identified. KEY KPIs - $2.77 million of TTM February 2026 revenue - Approximately $783,000 of TTM adjusted EBITDA - 28.2% TTM adjusted EBITDA margin - $2.89 million of FY2025 revenue - Approximately $864,000 of FY2025 adjusted EBITDA - 29.9% FY2025 adjusted EBITDA margin - 49.1% TTM gross margin - Repair services and parts represented 95.9% of FY2025 revenue - Parts represented 46.6% of FY2025 revenue and generated a 42.0% gross margin - Seven full-time employees plus the owner - Four of seven employees have at least five years of tenure - Eight service vehicles with an estimated fair-market value of $417,000 - Illinois ranked fourth nationally in propane consumption during 2024 ADD-ON RATIONALE The Company represents a compelling tuck-in for an established fleet-services, truck-repair, tank-services, or commercial-vehicle platform seeking to add specialized propane and hazardous-material cargo-tank capabilities. An acquirer would gain a recurring, federally driven inspection practice, an experienced technical team, established propane-distributor relationships, and a high-margin parts and repair operation. The Company would allow a larger platform to offer inspection, repair, and retesting under one roof while reducing vehicle downtime for fleet customers. Potential integration benefits include: - Introducing cargo-tank inspection and propane delivery-system repair across the acquirer’s existing customer base - Cross-selling chassis, engine, and routine fleet maintenance to the Company’s propane-distributor customers - Applying platform purchasing power to parts, which represent nearly half of revenue - Leveraging centralized accounting, scheduling, human resources, and administrative infrastructure - Recruiting and developing additional qualified inspectors and technicians - Improving utilization of the Company’s existing facility, fleet, and technical workforce Revenue declined modestly from $2.89 million in FY2025 to $2.77 million for the TTM period, while adjusted EBITDA decreased from approximately $864,000 to $783,000. Despite the moderation, the Company maintained a strong 28.2% adjusted EBITDA margin. Historical results also include marine-services activity that has since moved outside the transaction perimeter and is not separately identifiable in the general ledger, representing an important diligence and normalization item. The principal currently performs or witnesses required cargo-tank inspections. Adjusted EBITDA includes a $125,000 replacement cost for the principal’s operating role, and a buyer should establish qualified inspection continuity as part of the integration plan. An existing fleet-services platform should be particularly well positioned to professionalize this function, expand technician capacity, and integrate the operation without requiring it to serve as a standalone platform.

Established Central Illinois Winery & Vineyard with Tasting Room
Unique opportunity to acquire a fully operational Illinois winery with an established brand, extensive wine-production infrastructure, tasting room, vineyard, wholesale distribution, wine club, direct-to-consumer sales and significant finished and in-process inventory. The business operates through multiple sales channels including retail tasting-room sales, wholesale distribution and shipping. The winery currently maintains Illinois winery, shipping, manufacturing, self-distribution and retail licensing, along with its county liquor license.

The winery currently has 100+ wine-club members and an experienced marketing/events director responsible for marketing, onsite and offsite events, festivals and administration of the wine club. The operation also has seven part-time tasting-room associates with an average tenure of approximately four years, providing an established customer-service team for a new owner.

The property also includes grape vines. A March 2024 commercial appraisal concluded a value of $701,000 for the real estate. For buyers who prefer not to purchase the property, a lease structure may also be considered. Growth & expansion This operation presents several avenues for a purchaser to increase revenue and improve profitability. Additional opportunities include expanded private events and weddings, increased live entertainment, corporate events, expanded food service, growth of the existing wine club, additional wholesale accounts, expanded self-distribution, increased online/direct shipping, increased utilization of the property and expanded regional marketing. A hospitality-focused buyer could also further develop the property as a destination experience rather than relying primarily on traditional winery sales. Employees The operation has an established team including a full-time Marketing & Events Director, seven part-time tasting-room associates and casual production/event labor. The tasting-room team averages approximately four years of tenure. Current ownership is actively involved in administration, sales, personnel management and winemaking, so a purchaser should anticipate replacing certain owner responsibilities or retaining appropriate production/winemaking expertise. Reason for sale Retirement / Ownership Transition After years of developing the vineyard, winery, product line, customer base and distribution channels, ownership is ready to transition the operation to a new owner who can continue building the brand.
