70% above estimated enterprise value

“After going through the sell-side quality of earnings, we realized an enterprise value increase of probably 70% million above what I thought the company would transact for. It was just a tremendous, tremendous difference.”

We don't ask founders to take our word for it. We've built a business, sold it, and now run the same disciplined process for owners like you — here's what that looks like in numbers.

How we work

A process designed around your terms. Not theirs.

Most owners go into a sale underprepared, and PE buyers count on it. We run a four-stage process that positions your business correctly before a single buyer conversation happens.

01 / 04

Pause

Before you respond to the next inbound call, we help you understand what you actually have, and what you actually want from a deal.

02 / 04

Prepare

We get your business exit-ready with financial preparation and a sell-side Quality of Earnings that surfaces the true value of what you’ve built, not the number a buyer would prefer you to accept.

03 / 04

Prospect

We run a competitive process across ~100 PE firms to generate multiple credible offers, so you’re choosing between options, not accepting the only one on the table.

04 / 04

Partner

We negotiate the full deal structure: valuation, your role post-close, earnout terms, and what happens to the people and culture you've built.

Who we serve

We don't advise every industry, we advise yours.

We work exclusively with home services and construction founders. That specificity isn't a limitation — it's why our clients trust us with the most important transaction of their careers.

Before you call

The questions every founder asks first

How much does this cost me upfront?
“Nothing. $0 until close — no retainer, no discovery fee. We get paid only when your deal closes on terms you’re happy with. If we don’t get the results you want, you pay nothing.”
I keep getting calls from buyers already. Why not just deal with them directly?
Inbound offers are rarely the best offers. A single buyer negotiating alone faces no competition and every incentive to anchor low. We run a controlled process so you are choosing between credible options instead of reacting to one.
How do I know what my business is actually worth?
We combine operating reality, market comparables and buyer demand to frame a clear, defensible value strategy before outreach begins.
I’m not sure I’m ready to sell. Is it too early to talk?
Earlier than most founders think. Preparation creates leverage whether your exit is next year or several years away.
How are you different from the brokers who keep emailing me?
We are former owners and operators. The process is built around the realities of growing, leading and transitioning a home-services business.
What happens to my team and my family’s involvement after a sale?
The right buyer and deal structure protect the legacy you built. Team continuity, your role post-close, and your family’s involvement are all part of the outcome we help you shape.
