Staying current with emerging technologies is critical in the ever-changing electrical industry. Failing to do so can hamper a business's ability to attract buyers seeking modern practices. 

Plumbing

The plumbing industry is highly competitive. Perception of the industry as low-tech or unglamorous, as well as difficulty securing financing, are also common struggles that plumbing business owners face. We can support you through these challenges.

HVAC

HVAC businesses tend to be seasonal and this can make it difficult to demonstrate consistent revenue to potential buyers. Dependence on skilled labor and aging infrastructure are also common challenges that HVAC business owners face when trying to sell their business.

It comes down to two numbers:
  1. Free cash flow the business generates
  2. Multiple of that cash flow a buyer is willing to pay

For our purposes EBITDA and free cash flow are basically the same. It is the cash flow the business will generate to the buyer without the owner(s) associated compensation, expenses being run through the business and all one-time expenses added back.

Size of the EBITDA / cash flow

Amount of new construction and project based work

Amount of service and maintenance work

Revenue growth year over year

Marketing reputation management

Lead generation program

Size of technician crew

Business runs independent of owner involvement

Either is possible. It depends on your timeline / objectives, who the buyer is and what their plans on with the business. By having a partial sale you are able to “pull some chips off the table” continue to run and grow the business then sell the remaining piece down the road with a clear exit and transition plan.

A transaction takes around 6 months to complete and the buyer will want to structure a transaction that meets your objectives. If that means stay you for several years great, if that means leave quickly then that is fine also. Whatever works for you and the buyer.

National and regional consolidators backed by private equity firms looking to buy smaller companies and merge them into a larger company

Strategic buyers – companies in same sector wanting to expand into your geo market or companies in same geo market wanting your service lines.

Owner / operator – younger version of you. Someone wanting to buy a business, replace your responsibilities, run and grow it for next 10+ years.

The buyer certainly needs them to stay and help run the business. In many instances the pay, benefits and potential for career advancement actually improves as they become part of a larger company.

The buying and consolidation will continue for at least several years, the current valuations paid is anyone’s guess.

We are paid a success fee at closing if and when the transaction is completed. The range of the fee varies based upon the size of the transaction. There is no retainer or monthly support fee during the process. We only get paid if a deal is completed.

You are never locked into a commitment to the process or with us. If at any time you change your mind or are not satisfied with our performance, you can cancel the agreement and nothing is owed. Furthermore, if you are not satisfied with any offer or any buyer you are under no obligation to accept the offer.
