AcquiTrust Exclusive! Skip the 2-year regulatory nightmare and massive build-out costs. This is a rare, fully turn-key opportunity to step into an operational, fully permitted clinical testing laboratory in the NY Metro area. The hard work is already done: the permits are active, top-tier analyzer equipment is paid for and installed, and the infrastructure is ready for immediate high-volume sample processing. Perfect for a physician group bringing testing in-house, an existing lab operator looking to expand NY capacity, or a business buyer ready to scale an under-marketed asset. Key Investment Highlights: Fully Permitted & Certified: Active CLIA Certification and New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) Clinical Lab Permit in place. Broad Testing Scope: Approved for Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Qualitative Toxicology, Urinalysis, Bacteriology, and Virology. Turn-Key Equipment Included: Fully outfitted with high-throughput analyzers (Beckman Coulter AU480 units, specialized immunoassay setups) and custom LIMS software. Established Base Revenue: Produced over $390,000 in baseline 2025 revenue strictly on organic demand with zero active sales force. Immediate Growth & Marketing Opportunities: This lab has been operated passively, leaving massive money on the table for a hands-on operator: Launch Direct Physician Sales: The lab spent practically $0 on marketing. Hiring a single dedicated sales rep to target local urgent care clinics, primary care doctors, and OB/GYNs will immediately multiply sample volume. Corporate & Workplace Toxicology: Market the lab's existing toxicology capabilities to regional businesses, staffing firms, and municipal employers for lucrative, recurring pre-employment screening contracts. Digital & Direct-to-Consumer Marketing: Build a direct-to-consumer digital campaign for cash-pay specialty testing (wellness panels, hormone tracking, and rapid viral panels). Detailed Information: Facilities: Fully equipped, compliant lab space designed for efficient workflow and expansion. Support & Training: The seller will provide 30 days of full hands-on transition support to ensure a smooth transfer of operational protocols, compliance standards, and vendor relationships. Reason for Selling: Owner is divesting to focus on other core business interests. An active NYS DOH permit combined with a turnkey physical setup is almost impossible to find on the open market.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating retail business acquisitions.
Remaining term, renewal options, rent escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a retail deal. A great store with a weak or non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Establish what inventory is included, how it is valued, and how much is dead or seasonal stock. Inventory is often a large and negotiable part of the price.
Reconcile point-of-sale data against bank deposits and tax returns. Understand gross margin by category and how discounting affects it.
Location quality, nearby anchors, and parking drive walk-in revenue. Visit at different times and check that the trade area still supports the business.
Exclusive brands, supplier credit, and minimum order sizes affect both margin and risk. Make sure those relationships transfer to a new owner.
Owner-run stores often lean on the owner relationships and hours. Understand staffing, turnover, and what it costs to operate without the seller.
