Now is a good time to sell these types of businesses because there are plenty of buyers. Despite the COVID pandemic, essential services like plumbing have experienced great business, whereas other industries more vulnerable to lockdown and reduced patronage have suffered tremendously.
Like any other business, however, your ability to fetch a great asking price is highly contingent upon financials. What does this mean? It means your business must have good cash flow, be debt free as possible, have accurate tax returns, profitability, solid an extensive customer base, and a sophisticated marketing strategy. Also, one of the biggest factors for attracting buyers is having a reliable and stable management team and employees. Without a good staff, nobody will want to buy your plumbing/HVAC business. If a buyer is forced to build those from scratch after buying from you, they would be better off starting their own company.
So, if you have a small trade business like HVAC/Plumbing and you’re looking to sell, the market is good for it.
