Add-On Opportunity: Oklahoma Based / Luxury Vacation Rental Management / $912K Adj. EBITDA / $11.1M LTM Revenue / Asset-Light Model The Company is a scaled, asset-light vacation-rental operator and third-party property manager serving the Broken Bow and Hochatown, Oklahoma market. It manages an amenity-led portfolio of luxury cabins ranging from one to more than ten bedrooms and accommodating groups of up to 40 guests. The Company provides full-service management to cabin owners, including revenue management, multi-channel listing distribution, reservations, guest services, housekeeping, maintenance, and monthly owner reporting. Revenue is generated from cabin rentals, cleaning fees, administrative and booking fees, host service fees, pet fees, and ancillary guest services. The operating platform is supported by 72 directly employed personnel across housekeeping, maintenance, guest services, and administration. Guest acquisition is led by the Company’s direct-booking website, supplemented by major vacation-rental marketplaces. Managed cabins are owned by third parties, leaving the operating entity with minimal capital expenditure requirements.

Add-On Opportunity: Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Based / Multi-Family Low-Voltage Security Integration / $544K FY2025 Adj. EBITDA / 94% Retrofit Exposure / Growing Service & Subscription Base Founded in 2019 and headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the Company is a full-service low-voltage technology integrator specializing in multi-family properties. It designs, installs, and supports access control, surveillance and CCTV, custom audio/video, intelligent-building, fire and life-safety, and structured-cabling systems. The Company operates a design-bid-build model that engages developers and architects early in the project lifecycle. Its single-source capabilities span system design, equipment procurement, programming, testing, installation, and ongoing service. Systems are programmed and tested at the Company’s climate-controlled warehouse before field deployment. Revenue is anchored by retrofit and modernization work, with limited new-construction exposure and a growing base of service and subscription revenue. The Company serves national multi-family owner-operators, developers, property managers, and commercial customers across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio.

The revenue decrease was concentrated entirely in the timing and volume of projects from the Company’s largest customer, which generated approximately $1.2 million less revenue during the TTM period. This was not a broad-based decline across the customer base. Revenue from all other customers increased approximately $100,000, or 5%, in aggregate. The Company also added 17 new customers, and its largest customer’s share of income declined from approximately 60% in FY2025 to 45% during the TTM period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased alongside the reduction in project volume and related operating leverage. However, the underlying service and subscription business continued to expand. Service and subscription revenue reached $1.04 million, or 28% of TTM revenue, compared with approximately 18% in FY2024. Subscription revenue also increased approximately 41% year over year during the first half.

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.
