EXIT ACCELERATION—> BUYER IDENTIFICATION & SEARCH
Phase 3 of 6
Find the buyers who
will pay the most
The right buyer isn't just someone with a check — it's the acquirer for whom your business is uniquely valuable. We find them through a structured, confidential process.
BUYER CATEGORIES
Three buyer profiles.
One optimal match.
Strategic Acquirers
Larger contractors, national service brands, or building materials companies expanding into your geography or service line. Often pay the highest premiums for market share, customer lists, and crew capacity.
Owner-Operators & ETA Buyers
Qualified individuals pursuing Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). Often using SBA financing. Strong cultural fit candidates who are motivated to grow what you've built.
Private Equity & Search Funds
PE-backed platforms actively rolling up fragmented contracting markets. They value clean financials, management depth, and scalable systems — often offering equity rollover opportunities.
OUR OUTREACH PROCESS
Discreet. Targeted.
Competitive.
-
We release a teaser and Confidential Information Memorandum only to pre-qualified buyers under NDA — protecting your employees, customers, and market position throughout.
-
Leveraging our IBBA membership, Iconic partnership, and proprietary contractor buyer network to identify motivated, capitalized acquirers your competitors can't reach.
-
We manage Indications of Interest, create competitive tension among multiple bidders, and guide you to a Letter of Intent that reflects your target terms.
-
We act as your buffer — handling all buyer communications, management presentation coordination, and preliminary Q&A so you stay focused on running your business.
