Sell Your Business
The Right Way.
Quick Answer
CT Strategic Partners matches founder-owned home services businesses in the $1M to $5M EBITDA range with pre-qualified buyers including PE platforms, family offices, and strategic acquirers, with no upfront fees and complete confidentiality under NDA. Unlike traditional brokers who auction your business publicly, CT works directly with 40+ active capital partners to facilitate private conversations focused on fit rather than highest bidder dynamics. You pay nothing; the buyer covers the success fee only at closing on terms you approve.
You’ve spent years building something real. What happens next should reflect that. We match founder-owned HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest control, electrical, and landscaping businesses with the right buyer — not the loudest one.

Most Founders Don’t Need a Broker.
They Need the Right Partner.
Brokers list your business, shop it around, and take a commission. We do the opposite — we know the 40+ capital partners actively acquiring in home services, and we introduce you directly to the ones that fit your business, your team, and your goals.
No listings. No auction dynamics. No public exposure of your financials. Just a direct conversation with buyers who actually want to buy what you’ve built.
Your Business Stays Private
Every conversation is under NDA. Your employees, customers, and competitors don’t find out unless you decide they should.
Serious Buyers Only
We work with PE platforms, family offices, strategic acquirers, and search funds — all pre-qualified, all ready to transact.
We Speak Your Language
We know the industries we advise in — technician retention, service agreement density, working capital seasonality.
No Cost to You
We earn a success fee only when your deal closes on terms you approve. No retainers. No upfront charges.
40+ Capital Partners Actively Buying

This Isn’t a Listing Service.
We Don’t Shop Your Business Around.
Business brokers create auctions. They list your business, take multiple LOIs, and play buyers against each other. That works for some sellers — but it also exposes your financials to strangers, signals the market that you’re for sale, and often results in deals falling apart at due diligence.
Our model is different. We understand what each of our 40+ capital partners is actively looking for. When your business fits a buyer’s thesis, we make one warm introduction. You stay in control of the conversation.
Honest Answers to What You’re Probably Thinking
How much is my business actually worth?
Home services businesses typically trade at 3x–10x EBITDA depending on industry, recurring revenue mix, management depth, and buyer competition. HVAC and pest control command the highest multiples (6x–10x for premium operators). See our 2026 multiples report for current ranges by vertical.
How long does the process take?
From initial conversation to wire hitting your account typically takes 4–9 months. Clean financials and preparation speed it up; buyer diligence and tax structuring slow it down. We stay with you through every step.
Will my employees find out?
Not unless you decide to tell them. Every buyer we introduce you to signs an NDA. We don’t publicly list or market your business. The first your team hears about it is typically the day after close — with a clear plan for their role and a compelling reason to stay.
Do I have to sell 100%?
No. Many of our transactions include founder rollover equity — you stay invested in the business alongside the new buyer. This is especially common with PE platform deals where founders keep 10–30% and continue running operations.
What do you actually cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a success-fee model — we only earn when your deal closes on terms you approve. Typical success fees are consistent with Lehman Scale or modified Lehman structures, all disclosed and negotiated transparently before we begin.
What if I’m not ready to sell yet?
Talk to us anyway. Most founders we advise sell 1–3 years after our first conversation. The earlier you understand your business from a buyer’s perspective, the more value you capture when you’re ready. There’s no cost or obligation to a preliminary call.
We talk to founders who’ve spent 15 or 20 years building something real. They don’t want a cold process — they want to know that whoever buys their business is going to take care of their people. That’s what we spend our time getting right.
