This is a HVAC service business currently listed for sale in New England (MA). It has been screened against this cycle's batch of comparable listings and graded C — tight relative to the current market, based on how much cushion remains in its cash flow after a standardized SBA stress test, not an absolute rating of the business itself.

At the midpoint of the asking price band ($1,875,000), a buyer putting 12.5% down would need roughly $234,375 in cash and could expect an estimated monthly SBA note payment near $21,229 (9.5% rate, 10-year term). By stressed DSCR, this listing ranks 273rd of 333 in the current batch (1st = strongest cash-flow cushion after the stress test).
