Rare opportunity to acquire Nashville’s premier specialty prop rental company. The business provides props for film, television, music and entertainment production industries. The company offers an extensive, curated collection of specialty furnishings including antiques, period pieces and high-end furniture. The inventory includes thousands of unique props and is valued at more than $300,000. The collection has been assembled over thirty years of production projects making it extremely difficult and costly to duplicate. The business operates from an organized 3,000 SF warehouse conveniently located near Nashville International Airport. Its established website features 35 prop categories, over 3,500 photographs and thousands of additional rental items. The website selection provides customers with a format that is easily viewed and allows an efficient rental process. The company is well positioned to benefit from Nashville’s expanding production industry. Tennessee’s motion picture and video sector generated approximately $728 million in economic output in 2024, representing 43% growth over five years. Major productions are increasingly choosing Nashville and the surrounding markets, yielding year over year industry growth. This established and respected business has become the “go-to” resource for production projects across the entertainment spectrum. Energetic new owners will find a significant opportunity to expand marketing, strengthen industry relationships and grow rental volume.

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire an established indoor family entertainment and recreation business serving a strong regional market. The business offers a fun and engaging environment designed to attract families, children, groups, birthday parties, corporate events, college students, and customers seeking year-round indoor entertainment. The business benefits from an established operating model, recognizable concept, and multiple potential revenue streams, including miniature golf, arcade entertainment, parties, group events, and other activities. Its indoor, climate-controlled format provides an attractive entertainment option throughout the year, regardless of seasonal weather conditions. The business offers significant opportunities for a new owner to increase revenue and profitability. A hands-on, owner-operated approach could potentially improve financial performance through closer management of labor costs, scheduling, inventory, purchasing, marketing, customer service, and day-to-day operations. An actively involved owner may also have greater flexibility to develop new revenue opportunities, strengthen local partnerships, increase party and event bookings, and introduce additional promotions and programming. Additional growth opportunities may include expanding birthday party offerings, increasing corporate and group events, developing college and student-focused promotions, introducing memberships and loyalty programs, increasing food and beverage sales, creating seasonal events and tournaments, and expanding the mix of entertainment attractions. The business is located in a market with access to a diverse customer base that includes families, college students, local businesses, and visitors to the area. With the right ownership and focused local marketing, there is potential to further develop the business, increase customer traffic, and encourage repeat visits. This opportunity may be particularly well suited for an owner-operator or an investor seeking an established entertainment concept with multiple avenues for future growth. A motivated new owner who is actively involved in the business could have the opportunity to improve operational efficiency and potentially achieve stronger profitability than under a more absentee ownership structure. The business offers an established foundation with room for a new owner to build upon its existing customer base, improve operations, and capitalize on additional revenue opportunities within the growing indoor entertainment and family recreation market.

Links 2 Legends is a New York C corporation operating out of 14 Wall Street in Manhattan. It was incorporated on July 11, 2021, and reports on a calendar-year, cash basis. The returns describe the business as golf event planning, and the owner, Burhan Ahmad, signs each return in the officer line. Returns were prepared by Financial Experts of America of Marietta, Georgia. On Schedule K the company reports that it is not part of an affiliated or controlled group, has no foreign ownership, paid no dividends in excess of earnings and profits, and files the 1099s its payments require. A word on what this report is and isn't. I reviewed three documents: the 2023, 2024, and 2025 federal corporate returns. I did not see financial statements, a general ledger, bank statements, client contracts, a customer list, payroll detail, or any state filings. I did not speak with management. So this is a calculation of value — a reasoned, information-limited estimate — and not a certified or "conclusion of value" appraisal under the AICPA or ASA standards. It is meant to orient you and to frame the questions worth asking, not to support a sale price, a tax position, a loan, or a court filing. For any of those you'll want a credentialed appraiser (ABV, ASA, or CVA) working from audited or reviewed financials. I'm also not acting as your financial or legal advisor here.
