Business Overview:

Established Franchise | Niche Market Leader | Minimal Owner Involvement This is a rare opportunity to acquire the original and highest-ranked franchise in a national contraband detection canine network — a business that has operated profitably for over 25 years with consistent revenue and a defensible niche position serving K-12 school districts, rehabilitation facilities, and commercial clients across a large exclusive multi-county territory in North Texas. The Company deploys highly trained detection canines capable of identifying all four major contraband categories: narcotics, alcohol, gunpowder-based items, and commonly abused medications — the only provider in its market to offer this from a single canine team. BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS • Ranked #1 in the national franchise system — original franchise with a large exclusive territory the franchisor acknowledges would be split into multiple franchises today • Only detection provider in the territory offering all four contraband categories from a single canine team — a definitive competitive differentiator no competitor replicates • Revenue has remained stable in the $562K–$589K range over three trailing years; Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $166K on a normalized basis • Entirely debt-free operations with strong cash position • Two long-tenured supervisors (combined 40+ years with the business) manage day-to-day operations — current owners invest fewer than 15 combined hours per week • Approximately 80 school district clients plus rehabilitation facilities and commercial accounts • State-level private security license, voluntarily-maintained DEA license, and 25+ years of institutional client relationships create formidable barriers to entry • Significant near-term revenue catalyst: a major contract with a large public school district is in active negotiation and expected to close — not yet reflected in historical financials • 5-acre property with office, kennel, and residential structures available for separate purchase ($1,000,000) — providing a turnkey solution for a new operator • Proven franchise system with a straightforward $5,000 transfer process

Property Features and Assets:

Business operates from a 5-acre property owned by the sellers. Property is available for purchase in conjunction with the business ($1,000,000). Includes a 575 sq. ft. office building, 1,300 sq. ft. kennel facility, 1,700 sq. ft. residence (3BR), and additional outbuildings. If property is not acquired, a short-term lease may be negotiated, though sellers prefer a combined sale.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The competitive landscape is limited. Two known competitors operate in the territory, both smaller, newer operations that detect only narcotics and/or weapons. Neither offers four-category detection capability, and neither carries the institutional relationships or DEA licensure that this business has built over 25 years.

Additional Details:

  • The property is Leased.
  • This is not homebased business opportunity.
  • This is not a franchise resale opportunity
