Established 35-Year Water Treatment & Purification Service

Business Overview

A rare and highly lucrative opportunity is now available to acquire a deeply rooted water softener sales and service business in the North Tampa and Pasco County market. Operating continuously under the same ownership for 35 years, this turnkey business has built an exceptional, self-sustaining operation centered around water purification, system installations, equipment maintenance, and a steady recurring salt delivery route (50 bags/month).

The business enjoys organic market dominance with virtually zero marketing expenses, as its branded contact information is physically placed on thousands of installed water softener systems across its extensive service territory. The business operates with clean financial records, generating $295,025 in gross revenue and $74,871 in discretionary earnings. Because the retiring owner intentionally kept operations streamlined to maintain a manageable workload, an incoming buyer inherits a solid foundation with immediate growth vectors—such as launching digital marketing, expanding the service radius, and scaling the recurring delivery route. Bank financing is available for qualified buyers with as little as $34,900 down, and the business may also qualify foreign buyers for an E-2 Investor Visa.
