Environmental Services company with a unique approach that allows them to offer both on and off-site solutions. We found a buyer that was a larger company in the same industry based in Ohio that was interested in expanding geographically as well as expanding into services that this company provides. The staff includes licensed, seasoned veterans from the environmental industry with a focus on environmental compliance and professional technicians and CDL drivers. Since they don’t own or operate any landfills, TSDs, recycling centers, or CWTs, they offer independent solutions. Their wastewater consulting services focus on developing onsite treatment programs while the waste management specialists offer an array of options for landfill, landfill-free, treatment, EFW, recycling, and repurpose. Included with the business are vehicles for the safe movement of waste streams to off-site disposal and recycling centers.
They provide lawn care, tree services, masonry, sprinkler systems, and more. The seller wanted to retire and had previously hired another broker that was unable to get them the price that they were looking for. We were able to introduce multiple buyers, including some other large Landscaping companies that were looking to expand. However, the highest offer that was acceptable to the owner came from an individual from Pennsylvania that did not have experience in Landscaping but was interested in moving back to New York and buying a NY based business. We arranged bank financing so the seller only had to provide 10% of the price in the form of seller financing and 90% of the amount was paid at the closing with the bank providing 70% of the price and the buyer 20%.

This is an insulation contractor that gets its work through Mass Save, which is a state-sponsored program that helps MA residents make their homes more efficient. We listed this at the end of April and closed it in September, so it took just over 4 months from listing to closing. We had a lot of prospects out of the gate, so picking the buyer was important. We chose 2 buyers with good backgrounds to introduce to the seller. Our buyer submitted a full-price LOI the same day as the meeting, and the seller thought he would be a good fit for the business. He’s an individual buyer who had access to cash and had worked at a hedge fund (he had already left, so this raised his buyer credibility) but didn’t like the finance environment and wanted to roll up his sleeves and work. His financing came from personal real estate holdings, and he tapped a $1M line of credit for the closing payment. This process was quick because no business valuation or SBA process was required. Due diligence was smooth, and we connected the seller with an attorney who was easy to work with. Listed at 3x, and it sold for the full asking price with most of the payment made at the closing and a $500K seller note over three years. The seller will continue to work there for 3 years and get a salary plus 1.5% of top line revenue.
Architectural firm that was in business for over 40 years providing design solutions for both residential and commercial customers. The owner wanted to retire. We provided them several options and they selected one that they felt comfortable with. They will stay on after the sale for a transition.
The seller originally contacted us 3 years ago but wasn’t quite ready to list. Two years later, she contacted us again and signed the listing agreement a little less than a year ago and today we sold the business. The broker handling this deal has worked with a number of contractors and has become very familiar with how they operate and the potential buyers are. We received 2 LOIs on this deal. The buyer that was willing to move quickly and had a good offer was a buyer who we had done a previous deal with and had purchased a low-voltage cable company from us. This being an electric company, it was an obvious bolt-on with synergies between the companies. This same buyer is interested in purchasing more contracting companies from us.
Large Construction Company with $35 Million in committed customer work in their pipeline. They have contracts with state governments to provide construction work for roads, bridges, guard rails, signage, and other highway construction infrastructure projects. We found a buyer who was a large construction company with expertise in other construction areas. With this acquisition, they will broaden their offerings and acquire a profitable company with ongoing income, staff, and customers.
A company that provides installation, troubleshooting, maintenance, and auditing of fiber optic and cable systems for telecom systems. The firm had just been awarded a massive long-term contract with a giant in the telecom industry. This contract led to a lot of uncertainty as many buyers won’t ascribe much value to future earnings. However, we felt that the business could attract strategic buyers who would benefit from creating economies of scale and, therefore, be willing to pay a much higher multiple. We received robust interest from the start and had multiple offers from both the Private Equity community and strategic buyers within the first couple of weeks. Ultimately, we went with a strategic buyer and many negotiations, and an agreement was reached to obtain consent for assignment from its primary customer, representing nearly 75% of total revenues. The deal was structured as an 80% cash at close and 20% equity rollover, and we got a very healthy 4.8x multiple of Cash flow. The business was sold in less than 6 months from when the owner first contacted us to inquire about selling their company.
A company based in Middlesex County that analyzed how to reduce energy costs cost-effectively. They utilized testing, building code verification, and certification services, including LEED certifications, Energy Star, Green Building requirements, thermal imaging analysis, and more. Provided services to architects, general contractors, remodelers, HVAC contractors, as well as homeowners. We set up meetings with multiple potential buyers, and the best offer came in slightly under the asking price. The buyer was motivated and saw the value of the company, so he was willing to raise his proposal to the full asking price and was able to get SBA financing for the purchase. Contact us to sell your environmental services company.

The deal closed for about 3.4X net cash flow.
The company was listed with another firm for over two years, but that relationship produced no real leads for the sale.
