Fill out the short form below — it takes about 5 minutes. Basic information: your trade, which neighborhood, years in business, approximate revenue. Nobody finds out. Not your employees, not your customers, not your competitors.
Someone from our team calls you — usually within 24 hours. It's a real conversation, not a sales pitch. We'll ask questions, you ask questions, and we'll both figure out if this makes sense to explore further. No pressure, no timeline.
If you want to move forward, we'll review your financials and come back with a real number in plain English — what the business is worth, how we got there, and what the deal structure looks like. No surprises, no finance-speak.
There is no obligation — at any step. If our offer isn't right, we'll tell you what would change it. If the timing isn't right, we'll stay in touch on your schedule. Your timeline is the only timeline that matters here.

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and more. If you've built an established business serving Manhattan customers, we want to hear from you.
A well-maintained HVAC or plumbing business in Manhattan isn't just a service provider — it's a trusted contractor serving some of the most affluent and particular homeowners in the country. That trust is worth real money.
Manhattan businesses typically generate higher SDE margins, command recurring maintenance contracts, and serve customers with the income and willingness to pay premium rates for reliable, vetted contractors. That scarcity and reliability is why Manhattan service businesses often value at 3x–4.5x SDE instead of the 2.5x–3.5x range in suburban markets.
🌡️ HVAC company, $1.1M revenue, $260K SDE → typically values at $780K–$1.17M
🔧 Plumbing company, $950K revenue, $240K SDE → typically values at $720K–$1.08M
⚡ Electrical contractor, $1.4M revenue, $340K SDE → typically values at $1.02M–$1.53M
🏗️ Elevator maintenance, $1.5M revenue, $380K SDE → typically values at $1.14M–$1.71M
These are ranges for well-run businesses with established customer bases and trained teams. Your actual valuation depends on recurring contracts, employee stability, and clean financials. Get your free evaluation →
Most Manhattan business owners assume a broker is the only path. It isn't. Here's what each option really looks like.
| Selling Through a Broker | Selling to Legacy Trade Holdings | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 10–12% of the sale price — on a $1M deal, that's $100K–$120K out of your pocket | $0. We're the buyer, not a middleman. |
| Timeline | 12–24 months to find and close with a buyer — often longer | 60–120 days from first conversation to signed agreement |
| Confidentiality | Business listed on BizBuySell and similar sites — employees, customers, and competitors can find it | Completely private. Only who you tell knows. |
| Certainty | Depends on finding the right buyer — deals fall through regularly | If we make an offer, we mean it. No tire kickers. |
| Who you deal with | Multiple unknown buyers, due diligence from strangers, lengthy negotiations | One direct relationship, one conversation at a time |
SDE, add-backs, LOI, earn-outs, seller financing — everything you'll hear in this process explained clearly, without the finance-textbook language.
