Multi-trade service platforms
Investigate platforms that combine HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. Determine whether they want a new trade, greater local coverage, or a team that can support an existing brand.
Who would buy your home services business?
Look beyond the trucks.
The fleet is visible. The value takes more work to explain: the customers who call again, the technicians who stay, the local reputation, and the operation that delivers a good job without you dispatching every truck.
Talk about your businessWe approach home services through company-specific research. We look at the trade, service area, job mix, operating team, and the acquisitions potential buyers have made. Then we speak with buyers to test which parts of your business align with what they want to build next.
Get specific about
what a buyer is buying.
These are starting questions for the analysis. The answers shape the valuation work, the buyer search, and the story we can substantiate.
Understand the work behind the revenue.
Separate repair, maintenance, replacement, and construction work. For HVAC, examine seasonality and replacement economics; for plumbing, emergency and planned jobs; for electrical, residential service versus project work.
Look inside the membership base.
Review active agreements, renewal rates, pricing, visits owed, and the cost of fulfilling them. Show what converts into retained customers and profitable work instead of assuming every membership is equivalent recurring revenue.
Explain how a call becomes a completed job.
Follow lead sources, booking, dispatch, available technician hours, and completed work. Connect customer acquisition cost and job-level margins to the earnings in the financial statements.
Show the operation can carry forward.
Map service managers, dispatch leadership, qualifying licenses, technician retention, and customer escalation. Identify where a transition depends on the owner and build a practical handoff plan.
Actual transactions.
Useful questions.
We use public announcements to form a hypothesis about fit, then test that hypothesis through further research and buyer conversations.

Start with your business.
How much do HVAC, plumbing, or electrical businesses sell for?
The trade name alone is not enough to price the company. We examine sustainable earnings, service and project mix, customer economics, management independence, and buyer fit to develop an indicative range. An offer then needs to be assessed for cash at closing, contingent payments, rollover, and other terms. The announcements on this page do not establish comparable multiples.
Who buys home services businesses?
Potential buyers include multi-trade platforms, regional operators, and investors looking for a platform company. We investigate the specific trade and geography, look for a reason your business fits, and confirm acquisition priorities in conversation. A past acquisition is evidence to investigate, rather than confirmation of present interest.
Can I sell if I still hold the key license or manage the field team?
That becomes part of the transition work. We identify the responsibilities and licenses tied to you, determine what continuity requires with the appropriate specialists, and help build a credible handoff plan. It also informs which buyers could support the transition and what role you might retain.
Who has a reason to value what you’ve built?
Tell us about the business, the team, and what you want from a sale. That is where the buyer strategy begins.
