Fuel-Site Sump & Tank Cleaning Business – $446K Cash Flow

Business Overview:

A well-established Arizona company that services fuel stations and petroleum sites, now available for the first time after 25 years in business. It specializes in confined-space sump cleanouts, fuel and water recovery, and underground storage tank cleaning. Few local companies are equipped and qualified to do this work. Demand is recurring and alarm-driven. When a site’s leak-detection system goes off, a work order comes in automatically, so the business gets steady volume without advertising. The anchor client is a national convenience-store and fuel retailer that hired the company directly after years of working with it as a subcontractor. It now routes its Arizona and southern Nevada sites to the business. Other clients include petroleum equipment contractors (one relationship goes back about 35 years), independent fuel stations, schools and municipal accounts. The business earned $446,336 in seller’s discretionary earnings on $727,257 of revenue in 2025, a 61% margin. Revenue grew 30% from 2023 to 2025, and 2026 deposits are running ahead of last year. Pricing is clear and repeatable: a per-stop fee, hourly travel and per-gallon recovery rates. The fleet is nearly new: a 2025 Peterbilt vacuum truck and a 2026 Ram 3500 service truck, plus a trailer-mounted pressure washer, tank-cleaning equipment, a forklift and trailers, worth about $288,500. Two experienced field technicians plan to stay. A small yard and an established process for handling recovered product are in place. The owner is retiring and will provide up to 6 months of training and client introductions. This is a rare chance to acquire a high-margin, specialized service business with a loyal client base and plenty of room to grow. Ad#:2570051 Detailed Information Facilities: Facilities: Leased yard for $1,000 a month. It holds the trucks and equipment and has landlord-approved storage for recovered fuel and water. Office work is done remotely. Competition: Competition: Mainly national environmental service firms with higher overhead. The company wins local work on cost, responsiveness and long-standing relationships. Growth & Expansion: Growth and expansion: • Follow the national anchor client into other states. Other companies have already approached the business about out-of-state work. • Add a third technician and truck. Growth has been limited by capacity, not demand. • Expand higher-ticket tank cleaning and project work. • Add a website and basic marketing; the company has none today. • Formalize premium 24/7 emergency service. Financing: Financing: Seller will consider carrying a note for up to 10% of the price. Support & Training: The owner will train for up to 6 months. Reason for Selling: Owner Retirement Listed by HUB AZ Brokers, an affiliate of Sunbelt Business Brokers of Phoenix.
