Established in 2022, this residential HVAC service, repair and replacement company serves the Wasatch Front corridor of Utah from a home-based operation with take-home service vehicles - no shop, no warehouse, and no facility lease to assign at closing. 2025 revenue was $821,991 on normalized seller's discretionary earnings of $284,518, a 34.6% SDE margin. Revenue grew 67% between 2023 and 2025, and July 2026 set a company revenue record. What makes the business unusual is how it gets its work. Total 2025 advertising spend was under $400. Roughly 75% of revenue arrives through earned preferred-vendor standing inside multiple national home-warranty networks and an exclusive property-management relationship - channels awarded on measured performance sustained over three to four years, not on marketing budget. The largest network's own vendor portal reports 1,710 completed work orders, a 95% claim approval rate and a 91% completion rate, each above the network's required threshold, and about a third of regional HVAC dispatch volume. A better-funded competitor cannot advertise into this channel; it has to out-perform in it, from behind. Work mix is approximately 49% system replacement, 41% service and repair, 5% maintenance agreements, 3% indoor air quality and duct, and 2% new construction - almost no exposure to the cyclical construction segment that buyers discount. Recurring revenue comes from 57 monthly maintenance agreements carrying a three-year workmanship warranty conditioned on continuous membership, with no churn to date. Reputation is near-five-star across every major review platform, earned entirely on referral and repeat work with no advertising or reputation-management spend. The team is three field employees plus the owner-operator: a lead installer carrying the trade experience, a service technician with three years, and an apprentice who started in July 2026. All positions are at-will and no employment agreements transfer. Every operating process runs on commercial field-service software rather than institutional memory, which is what makes the owner's role replaceable by a general manager, costed at $90,000 in the financial presentation. Included in the sale: service vehicles, complete service and installation tooling, about $6,000 of parts inventory at cost, the field-service software configuration and flat-rate pricebook, the full customer database and service history, business name, phone number, website and online review history, and active vendor approvals and warranty portal access. Growth levers a buyer inherits unused: consumer marketing has never been switched on; additional trades can be activated through the existing warranty portals; commercial tenant-improvement work is untouched; indoor air quality and duct services are already offered but under-sold; and the maintenance agreement base has substantial room to grow. None of this is priced into the asking price. Financing: SBA 7(a) qualified. At the asking price with a 10% equity injection, debt service coverage is approximately 1.53x after paying a new owner a $90,000 market salary, against the 1.25x minimum under SBA SOP 50 10 8.1. Buyer requirement: Utah replaced the S350 HVAC license with the H100 classification in April 2026, and the licensed entity must have a qualifier. You do not need to hold the license yourself. Under Utah Admin Code R156-55a-304 the qualifier can be an officer or manager paid W-2 wages, with no ownership, working a minimum of twelve hours a week, so an operator buyer hires a qualifier rather than becoming one. The seller's license does not transfer, and on an SBA deal he cannot serve as your qualifier. The seller has identified a licensed contractor who would consider the role. Reason for sale: owner relocating. Structured training and transition included on compensated terms. Full financials, filed tax returns and a complete data room are available to qualified buyers under executed non-disclosure agreement.
