Sell your termite business for what the renewals are really worth.
A termite book is an annuity. Renewals, bonds and WDO inspection volume produce revenue year after year, and the right buyer pays for that predictability. The wrong process lets them buy it at a discount.
The advisor who used to be the buyer.
Kemp Anderson started at Sears Termite & Pest Control in 1994, built and sold his own company to Terminix, and led acquisitions for Rollins, Orkin and Scotts. He has sat on the buy side of termite deals and knows precisely how a renewal book gets modeled, and where a buyer hopes you will not push back.
Termite is the category buyers are short of.
Every consolidator wants more termite. It renews, it carries strong margins, and in the right geography it is defensible. That demand is real, but it only turns into a premium if more than one buyer is competing for your book.
National strategics
Rentokil Terminix, Rollins/Orkin and Arrow buy termite density to protect and grow their most profitable line.
Pest platforms adding termite
Investor-backed pest companies buy termite capability, licenses and technicians to cross-sell into an existing customer base.
Regional termite specialists
Operators who already understand bond liability in your market are often the most aggressive bidders of all.
How much is your termite business worth?
Renewal count, retention, average renewal price, repair-bond exposure and the split between renewals and one-off treatment work all move the number. We value your specific book against real closed transactions rather than a rule of thumb. Values will vary, and the honest answer starts with your financials.
What we bring to a termite engagement.
Renewal books presented properly
Retention curves, renewal pricing and bond counts are laid out as the recurring revenue stream they are, so the multiple is applied to the right earnings.
Warranty liability quantified early
Repair bonds are the first thing a buyer discounts. We price the exposure before diligence turns it into a late retrade.
A competitive process
Nationals, pest platforms and regional termite specialists approached at once, under NDA, from a blind profile.
Terms negotiated line by line
Escrow, claim-linked holdbacks, working capital and your role after closing, all settled before exclusivity starts.
A clear route from first call to closing.
Confidential consultation
A private conversation about your goals, timeline and number.
Valuation & strategy
We value your company and build the go-to-market plan.
Finding the right buyer
We create competition among the right strategic and PE buyers.
Letter of intent
We negotiate price and terms that protect you and your family.
Due diligence
We manage the data and questions so you keep running the business.
Closing & beyond
We drive every detail to a clean close and a protected legacy.
Every corner of termite service.
Questions termite owners ask.
Buyers value renewals as recurring revenue: count, retention, average price and stability all feed into a multiple of normalized earnings. Values vary widely by market and by the quality of the book. Start with what multiple you should expect, then call us for a real read.
They are priced, not fatal. A documented claim history with a predictable cost per bond is something a buyer can underwrite. An undocumented one gets discounted heavily, or renegotiated during diligence.
Usually together is worth more, because the buyer gets a cross-sellable base. We model both so it is a numbers decision, not a guess.
No. Buyers receive a blind profile and sign an NDA before they learn who you are. Confidentiality is structural to how we run a process.
Two to three years before you want out is ideal, enough time to lift retention and clean up the financials. But a first confidential call costs nothing and is never too early.
It was clear from that first phone call that KAC was the best choice for our family and our employees. We received multiple offers within the first few months.
