This week, the episode breaks down a membership-driven dog wellness franchise in Southwest Florida. The portfolio includes two operating studios, rights to open a third location, and 1,124 active members, with an asking price of $1.3 million. Customers pay recurring monthly memberships for services like bathing, nail trimming, teeth cleaning, and even dog blowouts.
The financials make this deal especially tricky. Combined 2025 revenue was roughly $800K, but the business lost around $95K. Through June 2026, revenue had already reached approximately $600K with nearly $100K of positive net income, putting the portfolio on a dramatically different trajectory. The problem: the seller appears to be asking buyers to pay today for growth that hasn’t fully materialized yet.
The hosts dig into membership churn, unit economics, franchise maturity, SBA eligibility, seller motivation, and whether an experienced multi-unit operator could unlock significant upside. Heather also explains why the lack of historical cash flow makes traditional SBA financing difficult—and why a slower closing pr…

What if the raw material for your business was basically free? In this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, the crew breaks down a long-established firewood business serving the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas market. The listing shows approximately $1.25M in revenue, $375K–$376K in seller discretionary earnings/cash flow, and a $1.2M asking price—roughly 3.2x earnings. The deal also includes a stated $80K of inventory and $315K of furniture, fixtures, and equipment, with seller financing potentially available.
The fascinating part is the supply chain: arborists and tree-service companies may actually want somewhere to dump unwanted logs, potentially giving the firewood operator its core raw material for little or no cost. But free wood doesn't mean free profits. The business still has to process, split, season, store, move, and deliver a heavy product, while managing significant seasonality. The hosts also question how accurately the $80K of inventory is being measured, what conditio…
