"Retire from your business and keep your legacy alive."
From Wall Street to Astoria, from Park Slope to Jamaica, from the Rockaways to the South Bronx — you've built something real in this city. If you're starting to think about stepping back, we'd like to talk. We buy established home-service businesses directly across all five boroughs — no broker, no commission, no public listing.
A lot of owners hesitate because they don't know what happens next. Here's exactly what does.
Fill out the short form below — it takes about 5 minutes. Basic information: your trade, your borough, 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.

We buy all major home-service trades across all of New York City. If you've built a real business serving NYC homeowners, we want to hear from you.
Maybe you're 60 and the grind of running a service business in NYC is catching up with you. Maybe the business is doing great but there's nobody in the family to hand it to. Maybe you're tired of being on-call 24/7, managing crews, handling customer emergencies.
None of that means you're done. It means you're thinking strategically — which is exactly what the owners who get the best outcomes do.
What we offer is simple: a direct conversation with a serious buyer who knows NYC, knows your industry, and won't waste your time. No public listing. No employees finding out. No awkward conversations unless and until you decide you want to move forward.
You don't have to be ready. You just have to be curious.
We're not trying to flip your business. We're looking for companies we can operate and grow for the long term — and that changes what we look for.
We look for businesses generating $800K or more in annual revenue with at least $200K in annual profit (SDE). If you're close but not quite there, reach out anyway — we're flexible if the fundamentals are strong.
The business shouldn't collapse if you stop showing up. Trained technicians, a dispatcher, or a service manager who runs day-to-day operations — that's one of the most valuable things you can have when it's time to transition.
Service contracts, maintenance agreements, or a loyal customer base that calls back every season — predictable revenue is what separates a business from a job. We value it, and pay accordingly.
A business that's been serving the same neighborhoods for 15–25+ years has a reputation money can't manufacture. Customers who call back. Crews who know the streets. That brand equity matters to us, and we protect it.
Most home-service businesses in NYC trade at 2.5x–4x SDE. Manhattan and high-income neighborhoods often land at the higher end. Here's what it looks like:
🌡️ HVAC company, $1.2M revenue, $280K SDE → typically values at $700K–$1.1M
🔧 Plumbing company, $950K revenue, $230K SDE → typically values at $575K–$920K
⚡ Electrical contractor, $1.3M revenue, $310K SDE → typically values at $775K–$1.24M
🏊 Pool service, $750K revenue, $210K SDE → typically values at $525K–$840K
These are ranges, not guarantees — recurring contracts, employee tenure, and clean books all push the number up. The only way to know what your business is worth is to have a real conversation. Ours is free and takes 5 minutes.
Most NYC 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.
