In this episode, Michael, Heather, and Bill dig into a unique opportunity to own a long-standing snow removal and landscaping business in South-central Alaska. With reported SDE of $705,000 and a 17-year operating history, the business serves both residential and commercial clients in one of the snowiest regions in the U.S. The hosts examine everything from potential moats and operational challenges to community ties and the feasibility of SBA financing. If you’ve ever dreamed of running a simple but profitable service business in a remote and rugged location, this one’s for you.
🔑 Key Highlights:
- Business is making $705K in seller discretionary earnings (SDE)
- Located in Southcentral Alaska, possibly Anchorage
- 17 years in operation with a strong reputation
- Five employees and a lean, high-margin operation
- Challenges for outsiders entering a tightly knit community
- Potential for carve-out complications in financials
- SBA financing could be viable depending on buyer profile
- Lifestyle considerations of living and working in Alaska
