Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
A real second-in-command
- Ask who runs field operations when the owner is not on site and what their day actually looks like.
- A foreman or ops manager with five or more years of tenure who estimates, schedules, and handles quality issues is the clearest sign you're buying a business, not a job.
- A second-in-command who's been there for years is the single thing that most separates a transferable trade business from one that walks out the door with the seller.
- Find out whether that person plans to stay after a sale, and what it would take to keep them.
Backlog and signed contracts
- Ask how many months of work are currently scheduled and how much of it is under signed contract.
- A solid backlog with verified job-level margins tells you the first few months of your ownership are not starting from zero.
- Recurring service agreements with commercial buildings or school districts are especially valuable because they provide baseline revenue that doesn't depend on winning new bids.
- Ask about the mix between backlog from existing relationships and one-time project wins.
Job costing records
- Clean job costing documentation lets you verify that the profits the seller is reporting are actually coming from the work.
- Ask for job cost reports going back two to three years and look for whether estimated margins match actual margins across different project types.
- Consistent margins across project types signal that the estimating process is disciplined, not just lucky.
- If margins vary widely job to job, it's worth understanding why before you close.
Workforce stability
- Ask about average crew tenure and how many workers left in the last year.
- A crew that's been together for several years with low replacement costs is a genuine asset that took time to build.
- High turnover in skilled trades is expensive and often signals a management or culture problem worth understanding.
- Ask how the company handles recruiting when it needs to add capacity, because that process tells you a lot about how organized the operation really is.
Licenses, bonds, and insurance
- Ask what licenses the company holds and whether they're tied to the entity or held personally by the owner.
- Find out what the bonding capacity is and whether any jobs were turned down because of bonding limits.
- Confirming that licenses and insurance transfer cleanly early in diligence prevents the most common surprises close to closing.
- Insurance claim history over the past three years is also worth reviewing to understand any recurring safety or quality issues.
