Retire from your business
and keep your legacy alive.

No. Everything we do is strictly confidential from the first conversation to the day you choose to announce it. We will never contact your employees, customers, competitors, or suppliers without your explicit permission. Many of our sellers complete the entire process — from first call to closing — without a single person knowing. Confidentiality is not a promise we make casually. We'll put it in writing with a mutual NDA before you share any financials.

Home-service businesses are typically valued at 2.5–4x Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) — the total financial benefit the business provides to an owner each year, including salary, profit distributions, and owner-specific perks. We'll walk you through exactly how we arrive at our offer, with full transparency and no black box. Factors like recurring contracts, customer retention, how dependent the business is on you personally, and team stability all influence the multiple. See our valuation guide below for more detail.

It's entirely your choice. Some owners want a clean break within 60–90 days — and we can make that work. Others want to stay on for 6–12 months to make sure the team is settled and customers are properly transitioned — and we welcome that too. We'll structure the transition around what gives you peace of mind, not what's most convenient for us. If you want to walk away on closing day knowing your people are in good hands, that's exactly what we'll build.

Typically 60–180 days from our first conversation to signing and funding, depending on the size and complexity of the business and your preferred pace. There's no drawn-out listing period, no waiting for a qualified buyer to find your listing, and no tire-kickers wasting your time. We move as quickly as you're comfortable — but we never rush you. Sellers who want a longer runway before closing can build that into the structure.

An earn-out is a deal structure where a portion of your purchase price is paid out over time based on the future performance of the business after the sale. It's one of several tools we use — but it is never a requirement. We're equally comfortable with all-cash structures, seller notes (where we pay you like a bank over time with interest), or a combination. We'll find what aligns with your financial goals and your level of confidence in the business going forward. We'll explain every option in plain English.

We don't buy great businesses just to tear them apart and start over. If your name, your processes, and your reputation are what built 20 years of customer loyalty — those are assets we protect, not replace. Our goal is to keep what works, invest in what can be improved, and grow the business. That said, we may introduce better systems, technology, or support over time — always in service of the team and customers, never at their expense.
