I’m an independent sponsor evaluating a profitable, mission-critical business in mold/lead testing, abatement, inspection, and disaster remediation.
I'm looking for minority investors and advisors who are willing to team up and help me present a joint bid to existing management for a buyout. I have a preference for existing owners who would own a complimentary business and would like to diversify.
The company serves landlords (100–2,000-unit portfolios) and childcare centers requiring compliance testing (lead/mold), abatement, or disaster remediation (water/fire damage). Recurring demand is driven by:
- Municipal enforcement & expanding state mandates to test for mold/lead exposure
- Tenant turnover/complaints
- Proactive testing by property owners
Key Highlights:
- Location: Northeast (multi-state expansion opportunity)
- Revenue: $7.3M (2023) → $9.3M (2024) → $11M (2025F, $4.3M YTD)
- EBITDA: $3M (2023, 41% margin) → $3.8M (2024, 41% margin)
- Customer Concentration: Minimal (largest client = 11% of revenue)
Growth Levers:
- Multi-state landlords requesting expansion into new markets
- Recent large healthcare contract for air quality testing
- Adjacent facilities management services opportunity
Owners: Two operators seeking to roll 20% equity combined and remain for day-to-day leadership
Ideal Partners:
Seeking board members and strategic minority investors (open to varying check sizes) who can add value including:
- Owners of healthcare chains, childcare centers, commercial real estate or property management portfolios
- Executives from large-scale environmental testing/remediation firms
- Franchise operators in trades or disaster restoration
- Regional operators with environmental testing in different states
