2026 IS RUNNING WELL AHEAD: $172,700 in revenue through September 20 (internal books, unreviewed), already 87% of all of 2025, with the rainy season still to come.

Established mold inspection and remediation business serving the affluent neighborhoods of West Los Angeles. The owner has been in the industry since 2002, and the phone rings on referrals: 75–80% of revenue comes from real estate agents, property managers, contractors and homeowners who keep sending work. Paid advertising: effectively zero. No lease. No debt. Low overhead.

Priced at about 2x 2025 SDE, with seller financing and a hands-on 12-month transition from a retiring owner. An all-cash buyer would see roughly a 50% SDE return on the purchase price, before the owner's time, based on 2025 book earnings.

WHY BUYERS LIKE IT
- A 20+ year referral engine that runs without marketing spend

- Diversified customers: homeowners, property managers, contractors, insurance work; no single customer is material
- Affluent service area where clients pay for speed, credentials and discretion
- Liability and contractor pollution coverage in force
