Auto repair · Dearborn, Michigan

Six-bay independent auto repair shop, booked two weeks out

$1M–$2.5M revenue15 yearsDearborn, Michigan

I still turn wrenches, which is exactly the problem — the shop needs an owner who runs it, not one who's under a car all day.

Independent general-repair shop with six bays, four ASE-certified techs, and a service writer who runs the front. Fleet accounts with two local businesses smooth out the retail swings. Booked out one to two weeks year-round.

Bakery · Grand Rapids, Michigan

Neighborhood bakery with a 22-year morning line

$250k–$1M revenue22 yearsGrand Rapids, Michigan

There's a line out the door on Saturday mornings and half of it is people I've known twenty years. The head baker can run production without me — she proved it when I broke my wrist.

Full-line neighborhood bakery — morning counter trade, standing wholesale accounts with three local coffee shops, and a seasonal holiday business that sells out every year. Recipes, supplier relationships, and a trained back-of-house team all transfer.

Landscaping & lawn care · Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Listed 5 weeks ago

Landscaping and snow business with year-round contracts

$250k–$1M revenue18 yearsWashtenaw County, Ann Arbor, Michigan

I built this to be a business, not a job — the crews run their own routes and the foreman quotes most new work. I'll stay through a full season if the right person wants me to.

Two-crew landscaping operation with commercial snow contracts that carry the winter. Recurring maintenance accounts are most of the summer book. Equipment is owned outright and the routes are tight — no windshield time wasted.

HVAC · Macomb County, Metro Detroit, Michigan

Listed 6 weeks ago

27-year heating and cooling company with a full crew

$1M–$2.5M revenue27 yearsMacomb County, Metro Detroit, Michigan

I started with one van and a pager. The people here now are the reason it worked — my lead tech has been with me nineteen years. I'm not in a hurry and I'm not looking for the highest bidder.

Residential and light-commercial heating and cooling with nine techs, two office staff, and a service-contract base that keeps winters busy and summers booked. Accountant-kept books, a shop lease a buyer can take over, and a name customers have trusted for a generation.

Trucking, long-haul · Metro Detroit, Michigan

Listed 8 weeks ago

Regional trucking company, 31 years, dedicated lanes

$2.5M–$5M revenue31 yearsMetro Detroit, Michigan

The shippers we run for have been with us over a decade because we answer the phone and the freight shows up. I'm past retirement age and my kids chose other work.

Regional carrier running dedicated automotive and industrial lanes with a stable driver roster and long-standing shipper relationships. Dispatch and safety are run by staff, not the owner. Fleet is maintained in-house on a documented schedule.
