Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Recurring Revenue and Contract Depth
- Ask how much revenue comes from maintenance agreements, service plans, seasonal contracts, or commercial accounts that renew on a regular schedule.
- Maintenance contracts with renewal rates above 80% mean a meaningful portion of next year's revenue is already booked before the year starts.
- In HVAC and plumbing, annual maintenance plans with documented renewal history are a strong signal. In cleaning and landscaping, multi-year commercial contracts tell a similar story.
- Ask to see the actual contract roster with renewal history, not just a summary number.
Licensing and Certification Continuity
- Every trade has its own licensing requirements. The key question is the same across all of them: does the license stay with the business when ownership changes?
- In HVAC and electrical contracting, the answer often depends on whether someone besides the owner holds a qualifying license.
- In plumbing, a bridge period where the seller stays on during a license transition is common and worth planning for early.
- Get clear on the licensing picture before you're in late-stage diligence — it affects your timeline and sometimes your deal structure.
Operations Manager or Lead That Runs the Floor
- Ask whether there's someone who handles scheduling, dispatch, and quality day to day without the owner being involved.
- A service manager or lead foreman who's been there for years tells you the business can keep running through a transition.
- Find out how long that person has been in their role and whether they're expected to stay after the sale.
- If the owner is still the person every technician calls when something goes sideways, that's worth understanding clearly before you make an offer.
Fleet, Equipment, and Asset Condition
- Ask for a vehicle list with year, mileage, and maintenance history on every truck.
- Aging vans with high mileage and no replacement plan represent real first-year costs that should factor into your offer.
- Well-maintained equipment with documented service records tells you the owner takes care of the details, which usually means the rest of the business is run the same way.
- Ask whether there's a known replacement schedule for equipment nearing end of useful life so you can plan capital needs before closing.
