New Franchise Listing Alert: Delray Beach Home Services Territory — $385K, SBA Pre-Qualified

The Delray Beach Franchise That Just Changed the Game

Let's cut right to it. A well-established home services franchise territory covering Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach just landed on the market — and if you've been waiting for the right franchise opportunity in South Florida, this is the one that deserves your full attention.

Listed at $385,000 with annual revenues of $620,000 and Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of $142,000, this isn't a speculative play. This is a proven, cash-flowing business with six years of operating history, a loyal residential and commercial client base, and a territory that covers some of the most affluent zip codes in Palm Beach County.

Good Florida franchise listings do not sit on the market.

What You're Actually Buying Here

This is a confidential listing for an established national home services franchise — the kind of brand that has name recognition, a proven playbook, and a franchisor that actually supports its franchisees through the transfer process. The seller has built something real over six years: 8 full-time employees, recurring service contracts, and a customer retention rate that speaks for itself.

The territory spans Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach — three of the most economically robust markets in South Florida. We're talking about a combined service area with household expenditures exceeding $3.5 billion annually. The demand for quality home services in this corridor isn't going anywhere.

So what does the deal structure look like? The listing price is $385,000, and here's the part that should get your attention: this business is SBA pre-qualified. That means a qualified buyer can get into this deal with as little as 10% down — roughly $38,500 — and finance the rest through an SBA 7(a) loan.

Why the SBA Landscape Just Got a Lot More Interesting

Here's something that's quietly reshaping the franchise acquisition market in 2026: the SBA doubled its cumulative 7(a)/504 lending cap to $10 million. That's a massive shift. Businesses that were previously too large for individual buyers but too small for institutional debt now have a clear financing path.

Current SBA 7(a) APRs are running between 9% and 11.5% — not the rates of 2021, but with stabilized interest rates and record acquisition lending volumes, the math still works for well-priced, cash-flowing businesses. And this listing? The numbers work.

The buyers who understand this are already moving.

Lenders like Live Oak Bank and Celtic Bank are actively underwriting franchise acquisitions in South Florida, and they love deals with clean financials, established operating history, and a recognizable franchisor behind them. This listing checks every single one of those boxes.

The Franchise Resale Advantage Nobody Talks About

Look, here's what nobody tells you about buying a franchise resale versus a new franchise territory: you're skipping the hardest part. The first two to three years of any franchise are brutal — you're building brand awareness, training staff, figuring out your market, and burning cash while you do it.

With a resale, someone else already did all of that. The 6-year operating history on this listing means the systems are dialed in, the staff knows what they're doing, and the customers are already there. You're buying a machine that's already running — not a blueprint for one.

And the franchisor? They're not just a logo on a truck. The transfer includes full franchisor support and training, which means you're not walking into this alone. You've got a corporate team behind you from day one.

What the Palm Beach County Market Is Telling You Right Now

Palm Beach County is one of the most competitive franchise markets in the country right now, and for good reason. The population growth is relentless, the median household income is strong, and the demand for home services — cleaning, maintenance, landscaping, specialty services — is essentially recession-resistant.

Delray Beach specifically has emerged as a hotspot. Atlantic Avenue is booming, the residential market is dense, and the commercial corridor is expanding. Businesses with recurring revenue models in this market are trading at premium multiples — and they're getting multiple offers.

The 2026 market data is clear: franchise resales with clean financials and transferable systems are moving fast. Businesses that are owner-dependent or have messy books? Those are sitting. This listing is the former — not the latter.

Who Should Be Looking at This Deal?

Real talk: this isn't a deal for someone who wants to dabble. This is for a buyer who's serious about owning a business, has done their homework on franchise acquisitions, and understands that $142,000 in SDE on a $385,000 listing is a strong return profile.

The ideal buyer is someone with management experience — you don't need to be a home services expert, but you need to be able to lead a team of eight and manage client relationships. The franchisor will handle the technical training. You bring the leadership and the capital.

This deal also works well for a buyer looking to expand an existing franchise portfolio. The territory covers three cities — Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach — giving you geographic density and operational efficiency from day one.

The Transferability Factor: Why This Deal Is Lender-Ready

Here's something that kills deals that most buyers don't see coming: transferability. A business that's completely dependent on the owner's personal relationships, licenses, or reputation is a nightmare to finance. Lenders hate it. Buyers should too.

This listing doesn't have that problem. The systems are documented, the staff is in place, and the franchisor has a formal transfer process that protects both buyer and seller. The financials are clean — three years of consistent tax returns and P&L statements that any SBA lender will love.

Deals like this close in 60-90 days. Deals that aren't ready? They don't close at all.

The South Florida franchise market in 2026 is as active as it's been in years, and the best listings — the ones with real cash flow, clean books, and strong territories — are getting snapped up fast. This Delray Beach home services franchise is exactly that kind of listing.
