Question 1

How do buyers handle license transfers?

Accepted Answer

License transfers are a standard diligence item — we document the qualifying party, transfer process, and continuity plan so the buyer can operate without disruption at close.

Question 2

Can I sell if I'm still on calls or quoting jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We document the GM/operations bench, sales process, and dispatch systems so the business runs without the founder. A defined transition plan addresses founder dependence directly.

Question 3

What's the typical timeline to sell?

Accepted Answer

From engagement to close is usually 5–8 months. The first 45–60 days focus on segmenting revenue/margin by line of business, packaging memberships, and documenting tech retention.

Question 4

Will my technicians keep their jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — techs are the asset PE platforms are buying. Buyers want every tech retained. We screen for buyers committed to retention and negotiate retention/incentive packages for key technicians and managers.
