This Business Is a License to Print Money
In this episode, the hosts break down a $34M revenue heavy equipment dealership in Western Canada doing $9.2M in EBITDA — a high‑growth, high‑margin, possibly monopolistic business — and question why it’s for sale, if it’s truly a “license to print money,” and whether a U.S. buyer could even touch it.

In this episode, the Acquisitions Anonymous crew — Michael, Bill, Heather, and guest Josh Thomason — explore one of the most eye‑popping deals they've seen: a Western Canada-based industrial equipment dealership with $34M in projected 2025 revenue and $9.2M EBITDA. The business serves over 700 clients across construction, forestry, recycling, and oil field reclamation sectors, offering equipment sales, rentals, parts, transport, fabrication, and even financing. With a 26% CAGR over the past 3 years and 30%+ EBITDA margins, this is not your average dealer — it might be a monopolistic goldmine.
Key Highlights:
- Heavy equipment dealer with $34M projected revenue and $9.2M EBITDA
- Product lines include crushing, screening, conveyors, shredders & wash plants
- Strong customer base: 700+ accounts, 84% repeat business, low concentration
- Growth: 26% CAGR over 3 years, with diverse income from sales, rentals, and parts
- Risks: brand dependence, dealership transferability, cross-border complexity for U.S. buyers
