Home services businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, pest control — are the hottest acquisition targets in the lower middle market. PE roll-up platforms are paying premium multiples.
PE firms and family offices evaluating home services businesses apply a consistent framework. Understanding what they prioritize — and what they discount — determines whether you get a premium offer or a lowball bid.
These are the factors that cause buyers to discount their offer — or walk away entirely. Address them before going to market.
The buyer landscape for home services varies significantly by deal size and business profile. Understanding who is actively acquiring — and what they're paying — is critical to running an effective process.
