Semi-absentee commercial plumbing contracting business with more than 20 years of operating history, where the owner works up to 25 hours a week and often less. Three lead plumbers run the job sites independently, each on a separate project, and one of them is willing to serve as qualifying party on the Arizona contractor license for a new owner. There is no office, shop, or lease, so this can be run from anywhere. Projects span northern Arizona, tribal lands in Arizona and New Mexico, and the Phoenix metro, covering hotels, apartments, schools, judicial buildings, fire stations, wastewater treatment plants, and retail. The business has never been marketed. No website, no advertising, no salesperson, no outbound effort, ever. Every project arrives inbound on reputation alone, which means the growth levers are all still sitting untouched. The owner forecasts approximately $2.7M in revenue for the current fiscal year ending March 2027 (up nearly 60% over prior fiscal year), and a buyer steps in with roughly $1.5M of contracted work still to bill plus another $2.7M of bids outstanding. The asking price also includes $100,000 of working capital and a $50,000 employee retention bonus pool the buyer can structure however they want. The owner is of retirement age and looking to sell his business to a buyer looking to continue the legacy he has built.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating building and construction business acquisitions.
Signed contracts, change-order patterns, and bonding capacity tell you what you're really buying; a big trailing year with an empty pipeline is a trap, and bonding is often tied to the owner personally.
Many trades require a licensed qualifier that may leave with the seller. Verify what you must hold before you can legally operate.
A plumbing or HVAC company with a service-and-maintenance base is worth far more than one living on new-construction bids — service agreements generate steady recurring revenue and replacement leads.
Receivables, retainage, and work-in-process tie up real cash between billing and collection; establish the need and whether it's in the deal.
The estimator, project managers, and lead crews carry the business. Identify the key people, their pay, and retention after close.
Trucks, heavy equipment, and related-party rent distort earnings. Tour the fleet, check deferred maintenance, and stress the discretionary earnings.
