We don't acquire businesses at random. We focus on essential service industries where recurring revenue is the norm, customer relationships are sticky, and the business model is built to withstand economic cycles.
Generalist buyers make generalist mistakes. When a buyer doesn't understand your industry, they ask the wrong questions, misread your financials, and ultimately struggle to close — or close at the wrong price.
We have chosen to go deep in a narrow set of sectors where we understand unit economics, customer acquisition models, labor dynamics, and what operational excellence actually looks like. That means faster diligence, smarter offers, and cleaner closes.
If your business is in one of our target sectors, you are not educating your buyer. We already know the business you're selling.
Sector familiarity means we know what to look for and what to skip — cutting diligence time dramatically.
We understand what recurring contracts, route density, and client retention are actually worth in each sector.
We know how to grow these businesses because we've studied what the best operators in each industry do differently.
Sellers don't spend time explaining their industry to us. We walk in ready — which means a smoother deal for everyone.
These are the industries where we have the deepest conviction and move the fastest. A listing in any of these sectors will get our full attention immediately.
Pest control is our highest-conviction sector. It is one of the most defensible service businesses in existence — customers need it year-round, contracts renew automatically, and the model scales through route density and technician productivity. A well-run pest control company with a strong recurring base is one of the best businesses money can buy.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and related home service businesses with a strong recurring maintenance contract base. We target operators with service agreement programs already in place, established technician teams, and predictable seasonal revenue patterns.
Performance marketing, SEO, paid media, and full-service agencies with a retainer-based client model. We are specifically interested in agencies with low client churn, a defined niche or vertical focus, and a remote-capable team structure that doesn't depend on physical office presence.
Businesses that generate and monetize leads for contractors, service providers, or B2B buyers — through SEO, paid traffic, affiliate models, or proprietary databases. We look for businesses with diversified distribution and monetization models that are not dependent on a single platform or traffic source.
Staffing, consulting, outsourcing, compliance, or operational service businesses that serve business clients on retainer or long-term contract. We prioritize firms with diversified client rosters, strong account retention, and revenue that is not concentrated in fewer than five clients.
Property management companies, real estate transaction services, title-adjacent businesses, inspection firms, and similar service providers that derive recurring income from the housing market without being directly exposed to property price cycles.
Established online education platforms, professional coaching programs, or skill-based training businesses with an existing student or member base. We look for businesses with subscription or cohort revenue models, strong community engagement, and a proven curriculum that does not rely entirely on the founder's personal brand.
Sector matters less than business quality. We have a stated set of target industries — but ultimately, what we are looking for transcends any single sector. A great business in an adjacent industry will always get our attention.
These are the fundamental characteristics we look for in any business, regardless of sector. If your listing checks these boxes, reach out — even if it doesn't fit neatly into our named sectors.
Revenue that renews automatically or through established customer relationships — not project-to-project.
A capable team that can run the business without the owner's daily presence or personal relationships.
A business with a real competitive moat — reputation, route density, contracts, or specialized expertise.
Three years of documented, verifiable financial history that accurately represents the true profitability of the business.
We are disciplined about staying in our lane. These sectors fall outside our model — and we won't waste a broker's time pretending otherwise.
High labor turnover, thin margins, and no recurring revenue model.
Foot traffic dependency, inventory risk, and secular headwinds.
Capital intensity, equipment risk, and supply chain complexity outside our expertise.
Project-based revenue, bonding requirements, and execution risk are outside our model.
