No one lined up to take the reins? That's the most common reason great businesses close instead of sell. It doesn't have to be yours. If you have no family member or manager to take it over, we buy directly and privately — no broker, no commission, no public listing.
Free & 100% confidential. We sign an NDA before you share a single number.
We'll review your business privately and reach out within one business day with your valuation range and next steps.
When you have no family member or manager to take it over, the last thing you want is your business shopped around town for nine months while employees, customers, and competitors catch wind. Selling to a direct buyer solves that. We sign an NDA, have one private conversation, and make you a fair, all-in offer — no listing, no commission, no renegotiating at the closing table.
We're local operators who actually run service businesses, so we can move fast and close with certainty. You pick the timeline. And if it turns out your business would be worth meaningfully more with a few changes first, we'll tell you — and we can help you build that value before you sell.
Dealing with something else too? We help owners who business for retirement, business when you're burned out, business due to health, buying out a business partner.
We sign an NDA, then have a private, no-pressure conversation about your business and your goals. Nobody finds out.
Ready now? We make a fair, direct offer and show our math. Not ready? We map the gaps that are costing you value.
When you're ready, we close in 30–90 days — no broker, no commission, no public listing. You exit clean.
Wherever you are on the path to an exit, there's a next step — from a free valuation to a full sale.
It depends on your profit (SDE/EBITDA), how much runs without you, and how much of your revenue recurs. Most Heartland service businesses trade in a 2–5× range on owner earnings. The fastest way to a real number is our free, confidential Business Value Scorecard — it gives you a valuation range and shows the gap to what it could be worth.
Yes — confidentiality is the whole point of selling to a direct buyer instead of listing. There's no public listing, no sign, no broker shopping you around town. We sign an NDA before you share a single number, and your employees, customers, and competitors never have to know until you decide the moment is right.
No. We're the buyer, not a broker. There's no listing agreement and no 8–12% commission coming out of your proceeds — on a $2M sale that's $160K–$240K you keep. If a broker is genuinely your best path, we'll tell you.
Once we agree on terms, most deals close in 30–90 days — versus the 6–12 months a typical broker listing takes. If you need speed for health, retirement, or a deadline, we can move quickly and with certainty.
That's common — and it's where we're different from a broker. If your scorecard shows value you're leaving on the table, we can help you build it first, either with a do-it-yourself blueprint or a done-with-you / done-for-you engagement. A more valuable business means a bigger check when you do sell — to us or anyone.
Home and commercial service businesses in the Heartland — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, janitorial, and similar trades — generally doing $500K to $5M in revenue with a real team. If that's you, start with the free scorecard.
