We work with trade and service company owners in pool, HVAC, pest control, lawn, and plumbing to build operations that run without them and perform at their full potential.
You're good at the work. You know your trade. What you didn't sign up for was being the HR department, the operations manual, and the exit strategy all at once.
We don't come in telling you how to run your industry. We come in knowing what makes a service business sellable, what keeps good people around, and how to document what's in your head so it doesn't walk out the door with you.
If I got hit by a bus tomorrow, this whole thing falls apart and nobody would know where to start.
What most owners tell us in the first callWe work with established service businesses across these trades:
Most owners don't find out until they're in due diligence. By then, it's too late to fix.
Buyers don't want to buy a job. If the business depends on you showing up every day, they'll pay half what it's worth, or walk away entirely.
Your process lives in your head and your best tech's head. That's not a business; it's a set of habits. Habits don't transfer. Systems do.
Every tech you lose costs $6,000 to $9,000 in real terms. And without a retention system, the next one leaves too, for the same reasons.
Owner expenses, irregular draws, and mixed personal costs make your real earnings look half of what they actually are to a buyer.
A business that runs without you — stronger, better documented, and built to perform at its full potential.
A two-week diagnostic that tells you exactly where the gaps are and what they're costing you. Most owners learn more in this report than they have in years.
Your ongoing people operations advisory. We help you build the hiring process, retention systems, and role documentation that keep good people around.
A structured 90-day engagement to document your operation, strengthen your financials presentation, and build the systems that make your business run without you.
Evaluating a service company? We provide the operational analysis that tells you what you are actually getting before you commit — what runs, what doesn't, and what it will take to fix it.
Most buyers evaluate the numbers. Few evaluate whether the business will actually run once the owner steps away.
That is the question that matters most, and it is the one most buyers do not ask until it is too late.
