"Retire from your business and keep your legacy alive."
You've served Suffolk County homeowners for years — maybe decades. If you're starting to think about stepping back, we'd like to talk. We buy established home-service businesses directly across Suffolk County — 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 location, 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.
Suffolk County is the largest county in New York State by area, spanning over 900 square miles and home to more than 1.5 million residents. From the dense suburban corridors of western Suffolk to the premium East End markets, home-service businesses here have built loyal customer bases that can sustain multiple generations. If you've built your business here, you know the routes. So do we.
Babylon, Amityville, Lindenhurst, West Islip, Bay Shore, Islip, Brentwood, Central Islip, Huntington, Commack, Northport, Deer Park, North Babylon — the most densely populated stretch of Suffolk, where a well-run service business can sustain a full team year-round.
Smithtown, Hauppauge, Lake Ronkonkoma, Holbrook, Bohemia, Ronkonkoma, Medford, Patchogue, Sayville, Oakdale, Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Setauket, Selden — a mix of suburban and light commercial corridors with steady year-round demand.
Riverhead, Southampton, East Hampton, Southold, Greenport, Westhampton, Hampton Bays, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island — premium markets where service contracts, pool businesses, and HVAC companies serving second-home owners command some of the strongest multiples in the region.
From the plumbing company that's been serving Huntington families for 20 years, to the pool service route that keeps Southampton second-homes running every summer — these are exactly the businesses we look for.
Don't see your trade? Reach out anyway — if you serve Suffolk County homeowners and have built a real business, we want to hear from you.
Maybe you're 60 and the physical side of the business is catching up with you. Maybe your kids have their own careers and there's nobody to hand it to. Maybe business is actually great — but you're starting to wonder what it would feel like to step back without watching everything you built disappear.
None of that means you're done. It means you're thinking ahead — 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 Suffolk County, 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 towns for 15–25+ years has a reputation money can't manufacture. A name on a truck that people in Smithtown or Babylon recognize. That brand equity matters to us, and we protect it after the transition.
Most Suffolk County home-service businesses trade at 2.5x–4x SDE. Businesses serving the East End and Hamptons often land at the higher end of that range due to premium pricing and high-income customer bases. Here's what it looks like across common trades:
🌡️ HVAC company, $1.2M revenue, $280K SDE → typically values at $700K–$1.1M
🔧 Plumbing company, $950K revenue, $230K SDE → typically values at $575K–$920K
🏊 Pool service route, $750K revenue, $210K SDE → typically values at $525K–$840K
🌿 Landscaping company, $1.1M revenue, $260K SDE → typically values at $650K–$1.04M
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 Suffolk County 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 |
