We typically value home service businesses based on a multiple of your EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) or SDE (Seller’s Discretionary Earnings). We look at the last 3 years of your financials to find a 'normalized' profit, adding back one-time expenses or personal perks. We then apply a market multiple based on your growth, local reputation, and how well-documented your systems are.

Your team is the heart of your business, and they are the primary reason we are interested in your company. We don’t just buy trucks and tools; we invest in the people who operate them. Our goal is to maintain the local culture you’ve built, providing your employees with even better benefits, training, and growth opportunities. Regarding your brand, we understand the value of a local reputation. In most cases, we keep the name your customers know and trust.

We respect your time. Once we have the initial financial data, we can usually provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) within 7 to 14 days. The total process, from our first coffee to money in your bank account, typically takes between 60 and 90 days. We handle the heavy lifting of the due diligence process so you can stay focused on running the business until the hand-off.

That depends entirely on your goals. If you’re ready to head straight to the golf course or the coast, we can structure a short 3-month transition period to ensure a smooth hand-off. If you love the work but hate the paperwork, we often offer roles for owners to stay on as consultants or managers. We build the exit strategy around your retirement dreams, not ours.

We believe that “loose lips sink ships.” Telling your team or your customers too early can create unnecessary anxiety and give your competitors an opening they don’t deserve. Our entire process from the first call to the final signature, is covered by a strict Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). We work with you to draft a professional announcement that is only released after the deal is finalized. We frame the transition as a “partnership for growth” rather than a “sale,” ensuring your techs feel secure in their jobs and your customers feel confident in their continued service.

Think of it as a deep-dive health check. Over 60–90 days, our team (accountants and lawyers) will verify your financials, tax returns, equipment lists, and customer contracts. It’s a standard process to confirm that everything is exactly as we discussed so there are no surprises for either side after the closing.

Every business is different. We use a few different strategies to get you paid based on where your business is at. The best way to determine the amount and the timing would be to schedule a call with our team to discuss your business and goals further.
