A full crew schedule can conceal thin margins or heavy owner involvement. Tucson Business Brokers Office helps you begin a valuation discussion with a clearer picture of what would transfer.
Recurring accounts need more than a total
Group residential maintenance, commercial contracts and installation projects. Track customer turnover and collections. A project that generated strong sales last year may not recur next year.
Show route density and travel time for each crew. Driving between scattered sites consumes paid hours that may be hard to spot in the annual accounts.
- Customer account revenue totals without names for the first review.
- Crew structure, supervision and owner working hours.
- Vehicle, trailer and equipment records.
- Contract notice periods, renewal dates and assignment terms.
Explain the difference between labor and ownership
If you run a crew, quote jobs and handle billing, a buyer must replace those tasks. Supported cash flow should reflect the roles a new owner will actually need.
Write down customer preferences, irrigation checks and recurring work scopes. The business becomes easier to explain when service quality depends on a process rather than your memory.
Check the scope before making license assumptions
Maintenance and installation can raise different operating questions. Ask which permissions apply to the work being sold and the buyer entity. Avoid describing every job as covered by one transferable license.
Also check leased equipment, vehicle liens and any customer deposits for unfinished projects. These affect what the buyer receives and what remains to be paid.
Choose an introduction that fits the business
The initial form asks for broad business details and an annual revenue range. It does not calculate a sale price. The valuation partner may ask for financial information after discussing the next step.
Read document recurring service revenue before selling and prepare equipment records for a business valuation.
