Hot Listing
Well Established Charlottesville Brand- Tour and Transportation
Business Description
Well-established, management-run tour and transportation business located in a strong Central Virginia tourism market. Operating for over 10 years, this company offers guided tour experiences and has built a durable brand, professional management structure, and repeatable operating systems.
The business is fully turnkey and does not require owner involvement. Day-to-day operations are handled by a full-time Operations Manager, supported by a full-time Head Mechanic and Parts Manager. Owners are not involved in daily operations.
The company generates approximately $800K+ in annual revenue and supports strong owner discretionary earnings. Financial performance is consistent across multiple years and is supported by normalized cash flow, not owner labor.
A major differentiator is the company’s owned fleet of 26 vehicles, providing meaningful asset backing and operational control. Estimated market value of the fleet materially exceeds depreciated book value, offering downside protection to a buyer.
The business has been intentionally built with scalable systems and intellectual property, creating clear future upside through geographic expansion and potential franchising. These opportunities are optional and not required to justify current performance or valuation.
The sellers are offering the business at $800,000 and are open to providing seller financing (up to 50%) for qualified buyers, supporting transaction flexibility and certainty of close.
This opportunity is ideal for:
SBA-backed owner-operators
Semi-absentee buyers
Strategic operators in tourism, transportation, or hospitality
Buyers seeking a stable platform with optional growth upside
Confidentiality is required. Additional details will be shared with qualified buyers following execution of an NDA.
