Precision Laser Marking Business | 90% Repeat Work | Strong SDE

Cook County, IL, US

Established in 1988, this profitable B2B laser marking and engraving business serves manufacturers across defense, aerospace, medical, dental, and other industrial markets. 2026 financial performance is showing strong momentum, with $512,237 in revenue and $214,482 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) through August, compared to $683,636 in revenue and $240,350 in SDE for the full year 2025. The company specializes in high-precision laser marking, engraving, and permanent part identification for manufacturers with demanding quality and traceability requirements. As an approved U.S. Department of Defense contractor, the business has established specialized capabilities and a reputation for reliable, precision work across multiple industries. Approximately 90% of business comes from repeat customers, with more than 100 customers and several ongoing production programs and long-term agreements. An established internal sales team, referrals, and organic search visibility generate new opportunities, supporting a business built on recurring demand rather than reliance on the owner's personal relationships. The sale includes 14 laser systems and supporting equipment with a seller-estimated value of approximately $526,000. An experienced team handles daily production, programming, quality control, and customer orders, allowing the current owner to work approximately 25 hours per week. With the facility currently operating at approximately 50% capacity, a buyer has the opportunity to increase production through additional sales and expanded shifts using the existing equipment. The business is well suited for an owner-operator or an established manufacturing company looking to add specialized capabilities, an experienced workforce, and an existing customer base. Seller training and transition support will be provided.

Chicagoland Craft Brewery w/Distribution & $5,000,000 revenue! REDUCED

IL, US

PRICE REDUCED! Seller will also consider a partial sale that will financially support short term growth, relieving the financial strain. This is a rare chance to acquire an established craft brewery with many of the attributes buyers seek but seldom find. Despite industry headwinds, this operation has held sales steady—an impressive performance in a slightly contracting category. Investment Highlights: • Premium location in a desirable, high-traffic area • Strong, well-recognized brand with loyal local following • Ideal demographic profile supporting continued growth • Broad product portfolio, including on-trend and specialty selections • Contract brewing relationships providing additional revenue streams • Long track record of success and operational stability • Professional management team and trained staff in place • Significant excess capacity available for expansion • Owner open to extended transition period, ensuring continuity The business is currently profitable at the operational level; however, due to existing debt obligations, it is not producing positive cash flow. A buyer with the financial strength to acquire the company without SBA financing will be best positioned to capitalize on the substantial growth potential.

3,799 SqFt Fully Equipped Bakery & Production-Scale Commercial Kitchen

Chicago, Cook County, IL 60646-6216, US

3,799 SqFt Fully Equipped Bakery & Production-Scale Commercial Kitchen Far NW Side of Chicago - For Lease! "Rare Turnkey Food-Production Opportunity in Chicago's Gladstone Park/Norwood Park Trade Area" Exceptional opportunity to lease the entire 3,799 sqft ground floor of this historic bakery property at 5742-5744 N Milwaukee Ave on Chicago's far nw side. Formerly associated with the longtime Gladstone Park Bakery & currently home to New Paradise Bakery, this established food-service location combines an attractive customer-facing bakery/café with a large, fully equipped commercial production kitchen - ready for the next operator. The 2-story building dates to 1920, while the ground-floor bakery underwent a major renovation in 2022, including updated plumbing/electrical systems & extensive food-production improvements. Rather than taking over an empty shell & spending substantial time/capital designing, permitting & equipping a commercial kitchen, a new tenant can step into an established food-production facility with the infrastructure already in place. EXTRAORDINARY EQUIPMENT PACKAGE The landlord-owned FF&E remain with the premises for the lease term & renewals, providing an enormous head start for the next operator. The extensive equipment package includes a Middleby Marshall 6-shelf oven, Hobart rolling rack oven w/racks, multiple Hobart commercial mixers, twin-arm dough mixer, spiral mixer, Baxter proofers, 2-pass dough sheeter, Baker's Pride mini pizza oven, 12' exhaust hood, fryers, range w/flat-top grill, Hobart slicer, gelato machine, milk pasteurizer, cookie dough stamper, shrink-wrap machine, dough racks & numerous commercial prep tables. Cold-storage capacity is equally impressive with a 18'x10' walk-in cooler & 20'x20' walk-in freezer + additional refrigeration & freezers. The retail area is also nicely outfitted with refrigerated pastry display cases, gelato display case, sandwich station, POS, tables & seating, allowing an operator to combine high-volume production with a customer-facing retail component. BAKERY LOCATION WITH HISTORY This address has a long association with baking on Chicago's nw side. The former Gladstone Park Bakery became a neighborhood institution known especially for decorated cakes. New Paradise subsequently transformed the property into a Sicilian-inspired bakery, café & gelateria which opened here in 2022 following extensive renovations. That history gives the next tenant something virtually impossible to recreate in a new location - a property that area residents already recognize as a destination for baked goods/specialty foods. Truly a unique opportunity to lease a large, fully built-out & extensively equipped bakery/commercial kitchen on 1 of Chicago's established nw side commercial corridors. Bring your concept, recipes & staff - the expensive infrastructure is already here! PRIME MILWAUKEE AVE LOCATION Located along the well-established Milwaukee Ave commercial corridor serving Gladstone Park, Norwood Park, Jefferson Park & surrounding nw side neighborhoods, the property benefits from a dense residential customer base, strong household incomes & excellent accessibility. MULTIPLE POSSIBLE USES A rare chance to lease a fully equipped, production-scale bakery/commercial kitchen with established retail frontage & deep equipment package, avoiding the tremendous cost/time involved in building one from scratch. The combination of substantial production capacity & retail frontage makes this property ideally suited for an established bakery expanding to another location, wholesale bakery, commissary/central production kitchen, catering company, specialty food manufacturer, ghost kitchen or multi-brand delivery operation. As well as a café, pizzeria, deli or prepared-food concept. Existing refrigeration, ovens, mixers, proofing equipment, display cases & production infrastructure provide tremendous flexibility!

Add-On: IL Based / Inspection & Fleet Repair / $783K TTM Adj. EBITDA

IL, US

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.

What to know about manufacturing business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating manufacturing business acquisitions.

Inspect the equipment and the capex runway

Tour the floor with someone who knows the machines. Ask the age, maintenance history, and remaining life of every major asset, and budget for the replacements the seller has been deferring.

Quantify customer concentration

Many manufacturers have one or two accounts that make up most of revenue. Get a customer-by-customer breakdown and understand the switching costs that keep them.

Understand the working-capital cycle

Inventory, work-in-process, and receivables tie up real cash. Establish how much working capital the business needs to run and whether it is included in the deal.

Assess workforce and key-person risk

Skilled operators and a plant manager are often hard to replace in the short run. Identify who holds the know-how and what retention looks like after close.

Check environmental and regulatory exposure

Process chemicals, waste streams, and older facilities carry liability. A Phase I assessment and a review of permits and safety history are standard.

Separate real margins from owner add-backs

Scrutinize the add-backs in seller discretionary earnings. Equipment leases, related-party rent, and deferred maintenance can make the margins look better than they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Commonly yes. Tangible assets help with collateral, and qualification depends on clean financials, verifiable returns, and a seller who meets program requirements on the business side. Additionally, if real estate makes up a large component of the business's value, you can use a SBA 504 loan to finance the transaction.
