This Deal Only Works If You Overpay With Cashsmart_display

This dumpster rental and wreckage removal business is listed at $3.3M, doing about $510K in cash flow on $1.7M in revenue.

Operationally, it looks solid. Strong margins, diversified revenue, and real contracts in place.

But the second you run financing, the deal starts to break.

Deal Snapshot

What Happens At 10% Down

This is where most buyers get misled.

If you try to structure this like a normal SBA deal with ~10% down:

• DSCR drops to ~1.08
• The deal does NOT qualify for SBA financing

At that point, the deal is effectively dead.

How They Make It 'Work'

To force the deal through, you have to change the structure.

Adjusted Financing (What It Actually Takes)

Now it technically works.

But look at what it cost you to get there.

The Real Problem

You’re not choosing to put more down — you’re being forced to.

• Massive equity: ~$817K required just to qualify.
• Low return: ~$102K per year after debt.
• 8-year payback: Slow recovery of your capital.
• Weak efficiency: Too much cash tied up for too little return.

You’re using your own money to fix a deal that doesn’t work on its own.

What The Business Gets Right

To be clear, the business itself isn’t the issue.

• Strong margins: ~30% vs ~24.8% industry average.
• Diversified services: Dumpster rental + wreckage removal.
• Recurring contracts: Stable customer base.
• Heavy assets: $1M+ in equipment and infrastructure.

This is a good business.

It’s just not a good deal at this price.

The Key Lesson

This is the pattern most buyers miss.

If a deal doesn’t work at 10% down, you’re not fixing it — you’re subsidizing it.

BizHub Verdict

This deal scores a 5.9 / 10.

Strong operations, but the pricing forces a structure that destroys the return.

Good business. Bad deal.
