Selling a Pool Business
Selling is inevitable—it’s just a matter of when. If you’re experiencing burnout, looking to retire, or ready for something new, it might be time. Ideally, you should start preparing 3-5 years in advance to maximize your business's value. If you need to sell it now, that is okay too.
The process typically takes 9-12 months from listing to closing. Proper preparation can help ensure a smooth and successful sale.
We offer free business valuations to help you understand the market value of your company. Key factors include revenue, profitability, service routes, customer contracts, and operational structure.
To maximize your business’s worth, consider:
- Improving financial record-keeping
- Strengthening customer retention
- Increasing your service rates
- Optimizing operational efficiency
- Expanding service offerings
- Reducing owner dependency
Confidentiality is our core principle. We have strategies to market your business discreetly, ensuring employees and customers remain unaware until the right time.
It is very difficult to keep it confidential without the assistance of a broker as an intermediary.
Potential buyers include:
- Individual entrepreneurs
- Existing pool service companies looking to expand
- Investors seeking profitable businesses
- Private equity groups specializing in service-based industries
The typical process includes:
- Valuation – Determining your business’s market value.
- Preparation – Assembling financials and marketing materials.
- Marketing – Confidentially listing your business and screening buyers.
- Qualification – The screen of interested buyers to make sure they are capable of completing and acquisition.
- Negotiation – Handling offers and securing the best deal.
- Closing – Finalizing the transaction smoothly.
Unlike general brokers, we only specialize in pool businesses. We understand industry-specific valuations, have a network of qualified buyers, and know how to position your business for the best sale.
Even if you’re 3-5 years away from selling, it’s never too early to prepare. We can help you increase your business’s value, streamline operations, and develop an exit strategy to maximize your eventual sale price.
Selling a business is a big decision. If you decide to pause or withdraw your listing, we’ll work with you to adjust your strategy or delay the sale until the timing is right.
