What we buy

Demand that is required, not discretionary.

Backflow tests. Generator load tests. Fiber maintenance contracts. Someone licensed has to do the work, on a schedule, and sign off. I buy those companies.

01

Required to buy

A regulator, a code, an insurer, or a contract says the customer must. Demand does not move with the economy.

02

On a schedule

Annual, quarterly, monthly. Revenue that renews because the calendar says so, not because a salesperson called.

03

From a licensed provider

The license, the certification, the approved-vendor status. Barriers that keep the work local and the pricing honest.

Sectors

The trades and services that keep buildings and networks running.

I look across commercial HVAC and plumbing, commercial electrical, industrial and utility electrical, telecom and fiber, and similar business-to-business companies. Service and inspection first. Project work is welcome as part of a business, not the whole of it.

Commercial HVAC & plumbing

Maintenance agreements, code-required testing, backflow, boiler, chiller, and mechanical service for commercial and institutional buildings.

Telecom & fiber

Network maintenance contracts, fiber and structured cabling service, in-building systems, and monitoring.

Commercial electrical

Service, testing, and inspection inside commercial and institutional buildings, at 600 volts and below. Controls, switchgear, generators, lighting, EV charging, and the compliance paperwork behind them.

Industrial & utility electrical

Utility-scale and high-voltage work outside the building. Substations, transmission and distribution lines, generation and backup power, and the relay, breaker, and compliance testing that utilities, plants, and campuses are required to run on a schedule.

For owners

What happens to your company after you sell it.

Most owners sell once. Here is what you should expect from me.

01

It keeps running the way it runs

Your crews, your trucks, your vendors, your name on the door if you want it there. I'm not folding it into anything.

02

You set the pace of the handoff

Six months or two years. You stay involved as long as you want to, and you're paid for it.

03

The number doesn't move

A fair price agreed early, a plain-English LOI, and no surprises added in diligence.

04

You'll know where things stand

One decision maker, one point of contact, an answer within days at every step.

For brokers

What you can expect from me.

Send the teaser. You'll get a yes or no fast, and a buyer who shows up prepared.

What I look for.

Close fits move fast. Near fits are still worth a conversation.
