High-Margin, Multi-Revenue Stream Business with Strong Cash Flow This opportunity represents the acquisition of a well-established pool construction, service, and retail company that has operated in the region for over 60 years. The business operates from two leased locations in Indiana, and serves a broad regional customer base with a full suite of pool-related products and services. The company’s revenue model is diversified across four primary categories: fiberglass pool installation, recurring seasonal and contracted service, repair and upgrade work, and retail sales of chemicals, parts, and accessories. This structure creates multiple customer touchpoints and supports consistent repeat business beyond the initial installation. To date, the business has installed more than 1,500 pools and maintains approximately 1,000 recurring service customers, providing a strong foundation for ongoing revenue generation and future growth. The company has demonstrated consistent growth and improving profitability, with revenue increasing from approximately $2.38M in 2023 to approximately $2.85M in 2025, while Seller’s Discretionary Earnings nearly doubled over the same period. Operations are supported by an experienced team, including a construction lead, service technicians, and retail staff, with additional seasonal labor during peak months. The business is structured to operate day-to-day with limited dependence on the current owners, who are willing to provide transition support post-sale. The company benefits from strong local brand recognition as the longest-operating pool business in the region, as well as favorable industry dynamics where demand for installations is reported to exceed current capacity.

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating service business acquisitions.
A pest-control, cleaning, or landscaping firm with recurring agreements is worth far more than one living on one-off jobs; get the contracted share and the renewal rate.
A few large accounts can carry — and walk with — the business; review the top customers, contract lengths, and cancellation terms.
In many service businesses the owner is the salesperson and the trusted contact; understand who holds the customers and the transition plan.
These are labor-heavy; understand staffing, turnover, wage pressure, and whether key crews stay.
Pest control, security, legal, and waste businesses carry licenses and obligations that may be tied to the owner — and some, like dry cleaners, carry environmental exposure.
Low-capital service businesses are easy to dress up; scrutinize owner add-backs, vehicle and equipment condition, and whether the margins hold.
