It's been too long since our last post - but for good reason. Things have been busy in the M&A Specialists world. Several closings, office relocation, new listings - the first half of '26 has been extremely positive. Here is a rundown of our M&A activity.
1. Sold: $3.6m Tow Truck Company. This company has over 40 years of operational history in this market. The buyers brought cash to the deal and assumed the existing loans in a conventional financing scenario. Here's to another 40 years for this company!
2. Sold: $11m General Contracting Firm. A great company tucked away in Central Arkansas, this deal was educational for us. It was a unique deal, especially with financing. An out-of-state Private Equity company acquired this business with an operator re-locating to take over daily operations. Financing included a $5,000,000 SBA 7(a) loan in a senior position - with multiple seller financing notes totaling the rest in a subordinated position. Great sellers, great company, great buyers & a great deal!
3. Sold: $120,000 Iconic Central Arkansas Coffeehouse. The third time is a charm. This was the third opportunity we had worked with the buyer on - and it turned out to be the right one! A motivated seller, a longstanding business & an iconic brand all blended together like the perfect cup of coffee! The next chapter of this business will be exciting to watch.
4. Sold: $75,000 medical uniform & scrub business in Central Arkansas. This was a straight-up deal - all cash from an out-of-state buyer. Management was in place & stayed in place for the buyer.
5. Sold: $85,000 Online Estate Sales Franchise territory. This business provides a service growing in demand. The buyer realized the opportunity & jumped at it. Financing involved a CD secured loan by the buyer, with a cash downpayment. CD secured loans can be a terrific financing tool in certain situations.
In between closing we've on-boarded some new listings: a specialty franchise retailer, a sporting goods store, an electrical contractor, a franchise e-com business, a manufacturer & a towing company - just to name few. Check out our listings using the link below:
