Louisiana has a corporate income tax and a franchise tax, and parishes collect their own sales taxes. Civil law rules on contracts differ from other states. SBA 7(a) lending is active, with the SBA district office in New Orleans. New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport are the active metros.

Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

How much backlog is actually committed?

  • Separate signed contracts from bids, verbal commitments, and possible repeat work. Ask for expected start dates and the remaining cost to finish each job.
  • Compare estimated job margins with completed-job results. A large backlog is less useful if delivery costs have changed.
  • Check customer concentration and how much future work depends on a relationship the owner personally manages.

Can you reconcile the financials with the work?

  • Request business tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, balance sheets, and current-year results for comparable periods.
  • Check how employee payroll, subcontractors, owner compensation, and payments between related businesses appear in the accounts.
  • Ask about receivables, retainage, deposits, and supplier payments. Model the cash required to keep jobs moving while customers have not yet paid.

What must remain in place after ownership changes?

  • Identify licenses, certifications, approvals, and bonding arrangements that matter to the work. Establish whether they depend on a particular person or ownership structure.
  • Confirm the requirements with the relevant authority and your advisors before assuming an arrangement continues after a sale.
  • Clarify whether the owner wants a full exit or a continuing stake, and what responsibilities they would retain during the transition.

Who handles the jobs, and what assets come with them?

  • Find out who estimates, wins work, schedules crews, supervises sites, and handles customer issues when the owner is away.
  • Ask which employees and subcontractors would stay. Consider seasonal staffing and the cost of replacing work the owner performs.
  • Request the equipment list, condition, maintenance history, and any financing or leases. Confirm what is included rather than relying on a headline asset value.

Valuation

What Should You Expect to Pay?

2x-4x

SDE

Owner-operated, primarily commercial or residential

4x-7x

EBITDA

With management team, strong backlog, and repeat clients

The spread in construction valuations comes down to how much future work is already committed, how independently the team runs, and whether client relationships transfer with the business or depend on the current owner personally.

What drives a premium

Strong backlog of signed contracts with documented margins and billing schedules

Repeat client relationships that have generated work for multiple years without competitive bidding

Project managers and superintendents who handle estimating and delivery without owner involvement

Equipment fleet in good condition with logged maintenance records and current inspections

Construction Businesses in Louisiana

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?
Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.
Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?
No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.
How does buying a business on Rejigg work?
Create a free account, set your criteria, and browse off-market businesses sourced directly by our team. When you find a match, reach out to the owner through the platform, Rejigg handles NDAs, scheduling, and document sharing so you can focus on the deal.
How much does it cost to buy a business?
Prices vary widely; most small businesses on Rejigg sell for $500K to $10M. Beyond purchase price, budget for diligence costs (attorney and accountant fees, typically $10K-$50K) and working capital reserves. Getting started on Rejigg is free.
What financing options are available?
The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.
How is Rejigg different from a broker or marketplace?
Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.
What is due diligence and what does it involve?
Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.
Can I buy a business with no money down?
Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
