  • What Buyers are Buying: Boring Businesses

    What Buyers are Buying: Boring Businesses
    Apr 23 2025
    Andy and JT welcome you to another episode of The Deal Board Podcast. This week, they explore the surge of Millennials and Gen Z buying “boring” small businesses (such as sawmills, packaging companies, and HVAC services) as Baby Boomers retire and sell their long-held enterprises. They discuss the shift in generational ownership, the appeal of steady cash-flowing businesses over startups, and how younger buyers are using technology to modernize legacy operations. The conversation also covers the importance of relationship-building during business transitions and debunks common myths around “no-money-down” deals. Tune in to learn how this generational shift is reshaping the business-for-sale landscape (and how you can get in on the action)! Listing of the Week: Taylor Bombardiere presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving specialty retail business just 30 to 40 minutes outside of downtown Denver. This established business features two high-performing divisions: one focused on fine jewelry and the other on antique and premium firearms. Generating $357,000 in annual cash flow, it’s listed at $1.2 million, with the real estate also available for $1.8 million. With little to no competition within a 10-mile radius and a prime high-traffic location, the business enjoys strong community support and a reputation for excellence. For more information, contact Taylor at (303) 519-7578 or taylorb@tworld.com. Deal of the Week: Jenn Armstrong and Philip Handke celebrate the successful sale of a nail salon in Scottsdale, Arizona, Phil’s second nail salon deal in just six months. This back-to-back success highlights the strong demand for well-run, service-based businesses in the Phoenix metro area. While the sale prices remain undisclosed, this latest deal showcases Transworld’s ability to match quality first-time buyers with thriving local businesses.
