Does this school bus contractor really make $700k?! - Acquisitions Anonymous 271

Acquisitions Anonymous - #1 for business buying, selling and operating

In this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, Heather and Mills analyze a $3.5 million school bus operation for sale in New Mexico. They discuss its financials, including a $2.5 million gross revenue and $700,000 EBITDA, and explore challenges such as maintenance costs, regulatory compliance, and the reliance on contracts with school districts. The discussion highlights the risks of customer concentration and the difficulties in scaling the business due to high capital expenditures and limited growth opportunities. They conclude that while the business has a stable client base, its complexities may make it a less attractive opportunity for potential buyers. The episode emphasizes the importance of due diligence and understanding the intricacies of such specialized business transactions.
