Profitable Waste Management Business with Strong Cash Flow and Permits – Hawaii

Expressions of interest are now being accepted for a fully permitted environmental services company based in Hawai‘i. The business handles hazardous and non-hazardous waste under active DOH, EPA, and DOT regulatory approvals, with operations extending to all neighbouring islands.

This Business is supported by a well-trained, long-tenured team and a fleet of specialised equipment. Services are delivered consistently to commercial, healthcare, and industrial clients with strong regulatory demands and recurring needs.

The owner is willing to stay on post-transaction to maintain permit continuity and assist the buyer in securing their own licenses. This structure ensures operational stability during transition.

The operation runs lean, with no formal sales infrastructure—growth has come through performance and referrals. A strategic buyer will immediately see the upside through geographic expansion, government contracting, and complementary service lines such as grease trap pumping, medical waste, or industrial cleanouts.

• Consistent year-over-year revenue growth, from $1.96M in FY2020 to $4.15M in FY2024—over 110% growth in four years
• Fully permitted and compliant: DOH, EPA, DOT in place
• Seller is willing to support the transition under his existing permits while assisting the incoming buyer to obtain their own licenses, ensuring regulatory compliance and continuity and no disruption
• Loyal, well-trained, experienced team in place with minimal retraining or new hiring required
• High barriers to entry in a regulated, underserved market
• No sales infrastructure currently, growth upside through strategic business development
• Scalable opportunity across the Hawaiian Islands and adjacent verticals
• Loyal customer base with commercial, industrial, and institutional demand

The seller is committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition of the business to the new incoming owner. Up to 30-day transition period, with up to 40 hours per week.

An ideal acquirer would be a strategic or financial buyer with experience in regulated service industries—ideally with familiarity in environmental compliance, logistics, or industrial field operations. A buyer capable of securing the necessary permits, or willing to do so under the seller’s support during transition, will be well-positioned to leverage the company’s existing infrastructure, longstanding customer relationships, and growth-ready foundation. This opportunity is especially well-suited for a hands-on operator or investment group seeking a profitable, turnkey platform in Hawai‘i with high regulatory barriers, a committed team, and significant potential to scale.

Asking Price: Expressions of Interest ranging $4.1M – $6M
