🤝 Seller Financing Available: 10 Businesses For Sale 🤝
When a seller carries part of the price, three things happen at once: your down payment shrinks, the bank relaxes, and the seller stays invested in your success after closing. Every owner in this issue has already said yes to seller financing, before negotiation even started. That answer usually costs buyers weeks of back and forth; here it is in writing on day one. Reply to this email with the deal number(s) and we will send you the details.
👋 Hey Team!
Welcome to all the new subscribers who joined this week!
How this issue works: deal numbers carry over from our master pipeline (Issues #221 through #250), so if you already replied about a deal, the number is the same. Note the numbers that interest you and reply to this email with them. Most of these businesses are off-market and appear nowhere else, and a real person on our team reads and answers every reply.
The Continental is Acquire Weekly's private buy-side concierge. We work directly with you to source, vet, negotiate, and close off-market businesses that fit your exact buy box, from first search to signed purchase agreement.
If you are serious about acquiring a business this year, this is the fastest path to a closed deal.

#48 - Commercial & Residential HVAC/R Company | Paramus, NJ
📍 Location: Paramus, NJ 🏷️ Asking Price: $3,000,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: $500,000 📈 Gross Revenue: $3,500,000 📊 Business Type: Commercial & Residential HVAC/R 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 Seller Financing Confirmed! | $3.5M Top Line! | ASAP Timeline!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $500,000 in cash flow on $3,500,000 in revenue in the most acquired trade in America. HVAC platforms are what private equity fights over.
• Seller financing confirmed up front, which softens the equity requirement on a $3M price.
• Bergen County is one of the densest commercial and residential service markets in the country.
• The owner wants to move ASAP; combined with financing flexibility, that is a rare posture at this deal size.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Maintenance agreements convert one-time installs into recurring revenue, the multiple-expanding move in HVAC.
• Refrigeration work adds commercial contracts most residential-only shops cannot touch.
📌 Summary:
A scaled HVAC/R platform with the two things buyers beg for: real cash flow and a seller willing to carry paper. Run the SBA math with us; the structure works.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

#81 - Transportation Company | Holley, NY
📍 Location: Holley, NY (Rochester region) 🏷️ Asking Price: $1,300,000 🆔 Business ID: Confidential 💰 Cash Flow: $300,000 (owner-reported SDE) 📈 Gross Revenue: $4,000,000 📊 Business Type: Transportation Services 🏠 Ownership: Owner Operated 🔥 Seller Financing Yes! | $4M Revenue! | Retirement Sale!
✅ Key Highlights:
• $4,000,000 in revenue against a $1,300,000 asking price, with the owner volunteering seller financing before anyone asked.
• $300,000 in owner-reported SDE puts the ask at roughly 4.3x with structure available to bridge it.
• Contracts, drivers, and equipment already in motion; in transport, operating scale is the moat.
• Western New York freight serves agriculture, manufacturing, and distribution, demand that does not disappear.
🚀 Growth Opportunities:
• Route optimization and fuel programs are the standard margin levers at this scale.
• Contract diversification reduces reliance on any single shipper.
📌 Summary:
Revenue scale, a retiring owner, and financing help built in. Fleet condition and customer concentration are the two questions that price this deal; ask us for both.
🔒 Confidentiality: Financials available upon NDA.

🎓 Free Live Workshop This Sunday: The Acquisition System
Every Sunday we go live and break down the exact acquisition system our clients use to find, finance, and close on profitable businesses, even with no industry experience.
This is for you if:
• You have at least $100K in accessible capital to put toward a deal.
• You are serious about acquiring a business in the next 6 to 12 months.
• You want a repeatable system, not one-off luck or guesswork.
• You are open to using SBA or seller financing so you are not funding the whole deal yourself.
Seats are limited for Sunday's live training, and it is completely free.
