Industry Buy Guides

Buying an HVAC Business

What the market pays, the licensing and refrigerant issues that decide deals, and the diligence list that separates durable HVAC companies from rigs and a phone number.

Buying a Plumbing Business

Where plumbing multiples actually sit, why the master license decides more deals than price, and the diligence list that separates a service business from an owner with a van.

Buying an MSP

Managed service providers are priced on recurring revenue quality, not just earnings. What the market pays by MRR mix, the consolidation wave you are bidding against, and the diligence that separates contracts from habits.

Buying a Landscaping Business

Route density is the hidden asset, maintenance contracts set the multiple, and labor is the risk that decides whether the machine you bought still runs in July. What the market pays and what to verify.

Buying an Electrical Contracting Business

The scarcest asset is the license on the wall that is not the owner's. What electrical contractors trade for, why the master-electrician pipeline shapes every deal, and the diligence that separates a backlog from a business.

Buying an Accounting or Bookkeeping Practice

Recurring revenue, sticky clients, and a licensing rule that decides what you can own. How accounting, tax, and bookkeeping practices trade, why client retention is the whole deal, and where a non-CPA buyer can and cannot play.
