Excavation & Site Work
Specialty Excavation
Company For Sale
Southeast, South Dakota
A niche excavation company with a long-standing regional reputation, a large and loyal customer base, and an equipment package stated at $500,000.
Overview
A niche operator in SE South Dakota
This specialty excavation company has built a long-standing reputation across the Southeast South Dakota region, earned through dependable work, quality workmanship, and prompt service. That record has produced a large and loyal customer base in a market where contractors are hired on reputation more than on advertising.
The current owners are ready to transition to other business opportunities, which leaves the next stage of growth available to a new owner rather than already captured. A well-established excavation business of this kind reaches the market infrequently.

Buyer Questions
Questions buyers ask about this listing
What is included at the stated equipment value?
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment transfer at a stated value of $500,000, which represents a substantial share of the $850,000 asking price. The full equipment schedule, including make, model, and condition of each unit, is provided to qualified buyers under NDA.
Why are the current owners selling?
The current owners are ready to transition to other business opportunities. The business is not being sold out of distress, and the growth the owners have not pursued remains available to a new owner.
Why are SDE and EBITDA different numbers?
SDE reflects the total financial benefit available to a single owner who works in the business, including owner compensation and benefits. EBITDA reflects earnings after paying a market-rate manager to run it. Owner operators generally underwrite to SDE, while buyers planning to hire a manager look at EBITDA.
What information do I receive after signing an NDA?
Once a non-disclosure agreement is in place, we provide detailed information about the business including financial performance, operations, the equipment schedule, and the full scope of the opportunity. Until then, details remain confidential to protect the seller’s employees and customers.
Who is this opportunity best suited for?
Owner operators who intend to run the business directly, excavation contractors adding capacity or territory, construction groups bringing site work in house, and buyers who want hard equipment value behind the purchase price.
