<description><![CDATA[ This firm is a leading provider of grease management services for commercial kitchens that has been in business for over 30 years. Many of the services offered by the firm are now mandated by city, state and federal regulatory authorities and require businesses to clean areas where grease accumulates to eliminate fire hazards and dispose of the byproduct of the cleaning in a way that conforms to environmental standards. These areas include kitchen hoods, rooftop exhaust fans and associated ductwork. The company has over 2000 clients which range from single location restaurants to multiple unit restaurant chains and commercial kitchens for hotels and food service providers. The client base is located in the North East with a predominance of accounts in Connecticut. The business has a strong management staff in place and strong procedural and process controls which sets them apart from the competition, particularly when dealing with larger corporate clients. There are over 23,000 food service operations in Connecticut and Massachusetts alone and they are tapping only a small portion of it. They maintain a very limited marketing and sale effort and new owners could expect a tripling of sales with a sustained investment in marketing. ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ This physical therapy services provider, which also provides occupational therapy and speech therapy, was founded in 2007 by a Physical Therapist who saw the need in many Home Health Care agencies to provide complete physical, occupational, and speech therapy services for their home-bound patients. The company contracts with its clients to provide these services by skilled, licensed, and insured professionals, saving its clients from the burden of establishing, administering, and funding these services for their patients. The firm has realized average annual revenue and earnings growth rates over the last three years of 59% and 33% respectively. It is expected to more than double earnings in 2011 on 42% revenue growth. The current owner wishes to find a buyer that will take over the management of the business so that he can focus on management and new client development while the acquiring company provides operational and marketing support to allow the business to continue to grow at rapid rates. Despite its growth, the firm still has significant opportunity to achieve full market penetration servicing home health care agencies in Connecticut. The firm also believes that other areas of the health care continuum, such as Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Centers, and Out-patient Clinics require the same service and the firm has almost no presence in these markets. The business has been pre-approved by a bank for an SBA guaranteed loan of $2,000,000 for a qualified buyer.  ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ This small home cleaning business has been a two person operation, with a husband and wife team doing almost all of the cleaning. Over the 17 years it has been in operation, it has built a portfolio of 64 clients generating about $90,000 in gross annual sales in 2011 (with both team members working in 2010, the gross sales were about $120,000). The business would be ideal for three types of potential buyers: 1. someone interested in a relatively low stress, easily controlled, owner operated business which produces a good living; 2. someone interested in starting a cleaning business which could use the portfolio of customers as a base on which to build a larger business; and 3. an existing cleaning company desiring to expand its customer base. The customers are clustered in two prosperous suburbs of a south central Connecticut city. The owner wants to join his wife in moving south; he will sign a non-compete agreement, and will consider financing for a qualified buyer. ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ This well established business provides mechanical service and repair to truck fleets in Connecticut. Located in central Connecticut, this business operates out of a 5,000 square foot leased building with ample office space in addition to garage floor space accessed by two 16' bay doors. The building has two sets of restrooms. The business currently services over 100 trucks, 90% of which are associated with a national delivery service. [This service, however, contracts with multiple contractors to provide delivery service, so the concentration of business is greatly reduced.] Due to the nature of the business, service is provided 24 hours per day, six days per week. The business provides and manages planned maintenance for many of the trucks. It also responds to emergency situations on the road. Repairs are done on the road if possible, or trucks may have to be towed to the garage. A tow truck is available for sale separately from the business. Planned maintenance is provided on site for the trucks, so the vehicles need not be taken out of service. Body work is done in the garage, with painting accomplished off site. The business currently employs two day mechanics, two night mechanics, and one office manager, in addition to the owner. Assets included in the sale are a tow motor, three box delivery vans as rentals, one service truck, and various electronic scanners. (Mechanics provide their own tools.) The business is offered in a &ldquo;turn-key&rdquo; condition. ]]> </description>
