An exceptional opportunity to acquire an established and highly profitable Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) business generating more than $2.5 million in annual revenue and serving clients throughout the greater Chicago region. With 20+ years in business, the company has built a strong reputation for providing dependable, dignified and accessible transportation services to seniors, individuals with special needs, youth and adults. A significant differentiator is the company's diversified, relationship-driven revenue model. Unlike many NEMT operators that depend heavily on transportation brokers, less than 1% of the company's rides originate through national brokers. The business instead maintains direct relationships with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, senior living communities, school districts, nonprofit organizations and other institutional clients. Essential Service. Strong Cash Flow. Established Infrastructure. Demand for dependable transportation continues to be supported by an aging population, individuals with mobility and special transportation needs, special education students, healthcare organizations, nonprofit agencies and other institutions requiring reliable transportation solutions. With its established infrastructure, long operating history, strong cash flow, the business provides a compelling platform for continued growth. This opportunity may be particularly attractive to strategic transportation companies, existing NEMT operators, healthcare-service organizations or qualified entrepreneurs seeking an established and profitable business with meaningful expansion potential.

Add-On Opportunity: Fairfield County, CT Based / Residential Landscaping & Outdoor Services / $1.1M Adj. EBITDA / ~80% Recurring Revenue / 88% Residential COMPANY OVERVIEW The Company is a premium residential landscaping, property maintenance, and outdoor-services provider serving affluent communities across Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York. Founded in 2001, the business provides recurring landscape maintenance, irrigation, drainage, planting, site work, and snow management to high-value residential estates, HOA and condominium communities, and multifamily properties. Approximately 88% of revenue is generated from residential properties, making the Company a highly complementary add-on for a PE-backed residential landscaping or green-services aggregator seeking density in an attractive Northeast market. The business would contribute a substantial recurring customer base, premium market positioning, experienced field operations, and several services that can be cross-sold across an acquirer’s existing residential accounts. KEY KPIs $5.3 million of LTM April 2026 revenue Approximately $1.1 million of adjusted EBITDA 20.1% adjusted EBITDA margin Approximately 80% recurring revenue Approximately 88% residential revenue FY2025 revenue growth of 39.8% Approximately 19% current-year revenue growth pace on an accrual basis Approximately 125 core customer relationships generating 97% of revenue 17 accounts exceeding $50,000 annually generate 56% of revenue Approximately $156,000 average annual revenue among the 17 largest accounts Approximately 34 employees and an owned 20-truck fleet 25 years of operating history STRATEGIC ADD-ON RATIONALE The Company provides an immediate foothold in the affluent Fairfield and Westchester residential markets. Its established routes can be integrated into a larger platform to increase local density, improve crew and fleet utilization, and reduce duplicated administrative costs. The service mix also creates meaningful cross-selling opportunities. An acquirer could introduce drainage, irrigation, planting, hardscape, tree and shrub care, and snow services across its existing residential customer base while offering additional platform services to the Company’s approximately 125 core accounts. Approximately 58% of revenue comes from maintenance and related services, providing a recurring foundation that generates additional project work from established customer relationships. Contracted snow and ice services create counter-seasonal winter revenue using the same crews and equipment. Nearly all services are self-performed by employed crews, supporting quality control and margin retention. Daily operations are managed by an operations manager and office administrator, with the owner effectively removed from day-to-day operations. This management structure should support integration into a larger residential platform with limited disruption. For a PE-backed residential landscaping aggregator, the Company represents a compelling add-on that can provide geographic expansion, route density, premium residential accounts, complementary service capabilities, and approximately $1.1 million of adjusted EBITDA. Additional upside is available through pricing optimization, route densification, service-line cross-selling, converting project customers to recurring agreements, and acquiring smaller local operators.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating service business acquisitions.
A pest-control, cleaning, or landscaping firm with recurring agreements is worth far more than one living on one-off jobs; get the contracted share and the renewal rate.
A few large accounts can carry — and walk with — the business; review the top customers, contract lengths, and cancellation terms.
In many service businesses the owner is the salesperson and the trusted contact; understand who holds the customers and the transition plan.
These are labor-heavy; understand staffing, turnover, wage pressure, and whether key crews stay.
Pest control, security, legal, and waste businesses carry licenses and obligations that may be tied to the owner — and some, like dry cleaners, carry environmental exposure.
Low-capital service businesses are easy to dress up; scrutinize owner add-backs, vehicle and equipment condition, and whether the margins hold.
