How I Help Service Business Owners Buy, Sell, and Exit Successfully
Whether you're selling the business you've built or looking to acquire your next opportunity, I provide expert guidance backed by real operator experience—not just theory.
BUSINESS BROKERAGE & SALES
Most brokers have never run a business like yours. I have. I've owned, operated, and successfully exited service businesses myself, which means I understand what actually drives value in HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, auto repair, and other blue-collar companies. When you work with me, you're working with someone who's been in your shoes.
Comprehensive Valuation
Not a cookie-cutter formula—a realistic assessment based on current market conditions, your specific industry, and the factors that matter to buyers in your space.
Confidential Marketing
Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know your business is for sale. I market to pre-qualified buyers through targeted channels while protecting your reputation and operations.
Buyer Pre-Qualification
I vet every potential buyer for financial capability, experience, and serious intent before they ever see your financials. No tire-kickers wasting your time.
Expert Negotiation
Having been on both sides of the table—as buyer and seller—I know how to structure deals that maximize your sale price while ensuring terms you can live with.
Transition Support
A smooth handoff protects your legacy and ensures you get paid. I guide both parties through training, customer introductions, and operational transfer.
BUSINESS VALUATIONS
You can't make informed decisions about your exit without knowing what your business is actually worth in today's market. Most generic valuations miss the nuances of service businesses—they don't account for customer concentration, owner dependency, equipment conditions, or the dozens of other factors that matter to real buyers.
What Makes My Valuations Different:
Current Market Multiples I stay active in the market, so I know what buyers are actually paying—not what outdated formulas suggest. Service businesses aren't all valued the same way, and I'll show you where yours fits.
