Strong margin, solid cash flow, and a price that makes sense.
This towing business in Palm Beach County, Florida is listed at $650K and generates about $653K in revenue with roughly $270K in cash flow.
And unlike a lot of towing deals, this one does not rely on a flashy story to justify the price.
The math actually works.
Deal Snapshot
Let’s run it through a standard SBA-style scenario.
Financing Overview
After debt, you’re left with about $174K per year.
That is strong cash flow for a deal at this size.
What Stands Out
The margin is what makes this deal different.
- High efficiency: 41.3% margin vs ~25.7% industry average.
- Fair pricing: 2.41x cash flow multiple, slightly below industry norms.
- Strong DSCR: 2.82 gives you plenty of room after debt.
- Fast capital recovery: Down payment recovered in under 5 months.
That combination is rare. A lot of deals give you one or two of these. This one gives you all of them.
Why It Feels More Durable
There are a few details in the listing that matter more than they look.
- Owner is not a driver: Less owner dependency than many small towing businesses.
- Contract-based work: Hundreds of local commercial property owners provide recurring tow volume.
- No police contracts or repos: Simpler operating model with less dependency on those channels.
- Trucks included: Three tow trucks valued around $225K are part of the sale.
That does not make it risk-free, but it does make the cash flow feel more believable.
What You Still Need To Check
A good deal on paper can still fall apart in diligence.
- Lease terms: The yard is not included - it will be leased back from the seller at $9K per month.
- Contract durability: Verify how sticky those commercial relationships really are.
- Operational concentration: Make sure the day-to-day is not overly reliant on one employee or one referral source.
- Impound economics: The listing says financials do not include vehicle or parts sales, so confirm exactly what upside is real and repeatable.
Still, these are diligence questions - not obvious deal breakers.
Who This Is For
This is the kind of deal that works for buyers who want solid economics without needing a heroic turnaround.
- Owner-operators: Someone who wants strong income from day one.
- Small operators expanding: A buyer who already understands dispatch, impounds, and fleet utilization.
- Cash flow focused buyers: Someone prioritizing efficient operations over hype.
BizHub Verdict
This deal scores an 8.1 / 10.
Not because it is flashy, but because it is simple, efficient, and priced correctly.
That is what a healthy small business acquisition is supposed to look like.
