This established, asset-light business connects attorneys and law firms with qualified insurance-industry professionals who serve as expert witnesses and consultants in complex litigation. The company manages the process from the initial inquiry through expert matching, introductions, engagement administration, billing and ongoing case support. The business currently has approximately 60 active cases and historically adds an estimated four to five new matters per month. Since 2023, average lifetime billing has been approximately $27,000 per case. Revenue is diversified across numerous law firms and matters, with the four largest firms representing only approximately 16% of active cases. Operations are remote and supported by established systems, including a proprietary expert database, case-management processes and cloud-based communication, accounting and marketing platforms. A knowledgeable, long-term employee manages inquiries, database administration, expert matching and introductions. Additional offshore support provides backup capacity and creates an opportunity to further document and delegate routine responsibilities. This business may be well suited for an absentee or semi-absentee owner who wants to provide executive oversight while retaining the existing operating structure. The current owner’s day-to-day involvement is limited, although responsive oversight and relationship management remain important. For a hands-on owner, the growth opportunity could be substantial. An engaged operator could expand relationships with litigation firms, improve digital marketing and outbound business development, recruit additional experts, strengthen follow-up with prior clients and build referral partnerships within complementary legal practice areas. The company’s existing case flow, expert network, operating systems and low-overhead model provide a strong foundation from which an energetic owner could meaningfully grow the business. The ideal buyer may be an attorney, insurance professional, expert-witness organization, legal-services company, entrepreneur or strategic acquirer seeking a scalable service business with recurring case activity and limited fixed overhead. The current operating team can provide continuity, and transition assistance can be structured to transfer the company’s relationships, processes and institutional knowledge. This is a compelling opportunity to acquire an established platform that can either continue producing under professional management or blossom under the leadership of an owner who wants to actively pursue its considerable growth potential.

An AcquiTrust Exclusive. Five years ago this was one owner with a phone and a service truck's worth of ambition. Today it bills at a $3.9 million annual run-rate, cleans buildings in thirteen states, and does it without owning a single van. That's the story here, and it's worth understanding before you look at anything else. This is a commercial janitorial and facility-services company built on a smarter model than most of its competitors: the company wins and holds the customer, and a vetted local service partner does the work in each market. No fleet. No depots. No regional supervisors. Net equipment on the books is under $1,500. When this company entered its ninth, tenth, eleventh state, it didn't cost a truck payment to do it — a buyer inherits reach instead of overhead. The revenue is daily, recurring, contracted work: office, retail, industrial, restaurant and venue cleaning, plus floor restoration, windows, carpet, grounds, striping, pest control and light trades already sold into the same accounts. Commercial cleaning is about as recession-resistant as small business gets — buildings get occupied, buildings get dirty, and somebody has to show up Monday morning. Growth has run 78% compounded over two years against an industry growing 8.8%. The owner is retiring after more than twenty years in the trade, and he isn't walking away at the closing table. The first 30 days of training are free, and he'll stay on afterward, paid, to help the next owner keep growing this rather than just take the keys. Financials are seller-prepared, with a full reconciliation package available to qualified buyers under NDA. Ask us anything — we'd rather you find it now than in week three. At Acquitrust Advisors, we are not just traditional business brokers. We are experienced business owners and strategic advisors who understand the true value of a well-built enterprise. We meticulously curate premium, confidential acquisition opportunities, ensuring perfect alignment and success for both buyers and sellers. NDA and proof of funds required.

Add-On Opportunity: Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Based / Multi-Family Low-Voltage Security Integration / $544K FY2025 Adj. EBITDA / 94% Retrofit Exposure / Growing Service & Subscription Base Founded in 2019 and headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the Company is a full-service low-voltage technology integrator specializing in multi-family properties. It designs, installs, and supports access control, surveillance and CCTV, custom audio/video, intelligent-building, fire and life-safety, and structured-cabling systems. The Company operates a design-bid-build model that engages developers and architects early in the project lifecycle. Its single-source capabilities span system design, equipment procurement, programming, testing, installation, and ongoing service. Systems are programmed and tested at the Company’s climate-controlled warehouse before field deployment. Revenue is anchored by retrofit and modernization work, with limited new-construction exposure and a growing base of service and subscription revenue. The Company serves national multi-family owner-operators, developers, property managers, and commercial customers across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. Key KPIs - **FY2025 revenue:** $4.85 million - **FY2025 adjusted EBITDA:** $544,000 - **FY2025 adjusted EBITDA margin:** 11.2% - **Revenue CAGR (FY2023-FY2025):** Approximately 18% - **TTM July 2026 revenue:** $3.72 million - **TTM July 2026 adjusted EBITDA:** $251,000 - **TTM adjusted EBITDA margin:** 6.7% - **Change in revenue from FY2025 to TTM:** Approximately $1.13 million, or 23% - **Largest-customer volume decline:** Approximately $1.2 million - **Growth from all other customers:** Approximately $100,000, or 5%, in aggregate - **Retrofit revenue:** Approximately 94% of classified invoiced sales - **New-construction exposure:** Approximately 2% of classified invoiced sales - **Service and subscription revenue:** $1.04 million, or approximately 28% of TTM revenue - **TTM service revenue:** $766,000 - **TTM subscription revenue:** $278,000 - **Subscription growth:** Approximately 41% year over year for the first half - **Geographic mix:** Approximately 80% Dallas-Fort Worth and 20% Austin-San Antonio - **Active customers:** 69 during the TTM period - **New customers:** 17 during the TTM period - **Largest customer:** Approximately 45% of TTM income, down from approximately 60% in FY2025 - **Top-five customers:** Approximately 73% of TTM income, down from approximately 83% in FY2025 - **Employees:** Approximately 15-20, plus selective subcontractors - **Service vehicles:** 12 - **Leadership:** Founder and operating leadership intending to remain after closing Recent Performance TTM revenue declined to $3.72 million from $4.85 million in FY2025, while adjusted EBITDA declined to $251,000 from $544,000. The revenue decrease was concentrated entirely in the timing and volume of projects from the Company’s largest customer, which generated approximately $1.2 million less revenue during the TTM period. This was not a broad-based decline across the customer base. Revenue from all other customers increased approximately $100,000, or 5%, in aggregate. The Company also added 17 new customers, and its largest customer’s share of income declined from approximately 60% in FY2025 to 45% during the TTM period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased alongside the reduction in project volume and related operating leverage. However, the underlying service and subscription business continued to expand. Service and subscription revenue reached $1.04 million, or 28% of TTM revenue, compared with approximately 18% in FY2024. Subscription revenue also increased approximately 41% year over year during the first half. Strategic Fit The Company represents an attractive add-on for a security, low-voltage, fire and life-safety, building-technology, or essential-services aggregator seeking greater density in Texas.

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.
