This is an established franchise business in the indoor air quality and mold remediation industry, operating across four protected, contiguous territories in one of the wealthiest and fastest-growing regions in the country (Northern Virginia). The business has been operated by the same ownership since its founding in 2020 and has grown revenue from roughly $160,000 in its first year to approximately $458,000 in its most recently completed fiscal year — a consistent, multi-year growth trend under current ownership.
The business operates under a nationally recognized home-services franchise brand specializing in mold, mildew, and indoor air quality remediation for residential and light-commercial customers. A new owner steps into an operating platform rather than a start-up: franchisor training and support, proprietary treatment protocols and EPA-registered products, an established marketing system, a network of location-specific microsites generating inbound leads, and a trained field crew equipped with a company-owned service vehicle fleet.
Approximately 95% of current revenue is residential, with commercial work largely untapped — one of several concrete, seller-identified growth opportunities available to a new owner from day one. The business is asset-light: no real estate is owned or leased, and operations are field-based, delivered at customer locations.
The current owner is a certified indoor environmental professional and is offering the business as part of a planned transition out of day-to-day ownership. The owner is open to a reasonable transition and consulting period to transfer customer and referral relationships, franchisor systems knowledge, and technical know-how to the new owner.
This is a strong opportunity for an owner-operator, a licensed contractor or remediation professional looking to add a recognized franchise brand and protected territory, or a strategic buyer looking to add adjacent territory to an existing home-services platform. Financing flexibility from the seller and the franchisor's structured onboarding make this an accessible entry point into an in-demand, recession-resilient service category.

Training/Support
The current owner, a certified indoor environmental professional under the franchise system, is offering a transition and consulting period to the new owner to transfer customer and referral relationships, franchisor operating protocols, and technical know-how. In addition, the buyer receives the franchisor's standard new-franchisee onboarding: initial and ongoing technical training, proprietary treatment protocols, marketing systems and brand support, and access to the franchisor's vendor and referral network. Specific transition length and terms are open to negotiation between buyer and seller.
Facilities
The business operates on an asset-light, field-based service model — there is no owned or leased commercial facility, office, or warehouse. Operations run from a home-based/mobile administrative base, with all customer work performed on-site at residential and commercial properties within the four protected franchise territories.
Transferring assets include a company-owned fleet of three service vehicles (a 2013 Ram, a 2016 Ram 1500, and a 2020 Nissan NV2500), fully equipped for remediation, containment, drying, and testing work, along with associated remediation and testing equipment, computers, and office equipment. The vehicle fleet and equipment are fully depreciated for tax purposes but remain in active operating service.
The business also holds four protected, contiguous franchise territories covering two Northern Virginia counties — among the highest household-income, highest home-value markets in the country — plus an established network of location-specific microsites supporting local search visibility and lead generation. Franchise rights transfer subject to franchisor approval and qualification of the buyer. No inventory of significance is carried; the business operates on a service, not resale, model.
Market Outlook/Competition
The business operates in the indoor air quality and mold/moisture remediation industry — a growing category driven by rising awareness of indoor air quality, humid Mid-Atlantic climate conditions, aging housing stock, and insurance-driven remediation demand. The Company competes under a recognized national franchise brand with proprietary protocols and marketing support, differentiating it from independent, unbranded local remediation and restoration contractors. Competition includes independent mold remediation firms, general water-damage/restoration companies, and other regional franchise operators. The Company's four contiguous protected territories provide a structural advantage — franchisor territory protection limits competing units of the same brand — and the underlying market supports continued residential demand, with commercial work still largely undeveloped.
Real Estate Description
None — the business does not own or lease commercial real estate. Operations are field-based / home-office administrative, and no facility conveys with the sale.
