Selling your pest control business? Pick the right deal team first.
The advisor, attorney and CPA around your table decide how much you keep. We run the sale and bring in people who have closed pest control deals before, so you can keep running your company.
- ✓One M&A advisor who runs the whole sale, valuation to closing
- ✓Competing offers from strategic buyers and private equity firms
- ✓Trusted introductions to attorneys, CPAs and wealth managers
Same company. Two very different closing days.
Most owners sell one business in their life. Buyers do this every week. The team you bring decides who has the edge.
Selling on your own
- ✕One buyer, one offer, and no way to know if it is fair
- ✕Price gets chipped away in the purchase agreement fine print
- ✕Taxes planned after the deal, when it is too late to change them
- ✕You chase paperwork at night while the business slips
Selling with a full deal team
- ✓Several qualified buyers competing for your company
- ✓An M&A attorney who protects the price in writing
- ✓A tax plan in place before you sign, so your family keeps more
- ✓You keep running the company. We run the deal.
Five seats at your table.
Here is who you need to sell a pest control company well, and what each one does for you.
M&A advisor
That is us. We value your company, bring buyers to the table and negotiate to a clean close.
M&A attorney
Writes and negotiates the purchase agreement. Hire someone who does business sales for a living, not a generalist.
CPA
Gets your books buyer-ready and plans the tax side before the deal. That shows up in what your family keeps.
Wealth manager
A lot of money arrives on closing day. Someone should be ready to protect it for you and the people after you.
Trust & estate attorney
Makes sure your family is covered no matter what happens after the sale. Nobody likes this part. Do it anyway.
Your job: keep running the business.
The fastest way to lose value during a sale is letting the business slip while you chase the deal. Buyers notice, and the price follows.
So your job stays the one you already have. Keep the routes tight, the customers happy and the team steady. We handle everything else.

In their words.
“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.”
Barry Pitts · Synergy²“Kemp's expertise was invaluable during Hometown's acquisition by Terminix. He negotiated for the things that mattered most to my family.”
Sal Yanello · Hometown Pest Control“The team worked with us to understand the nuances of the Seattle market, positioned us correctly to buyers, and negotiated a great purchase price.”
Deanna Townsend · Eastside ExterminatorsAn advisor who started in the truck, not the boardroom.
Kemp Anderson began on a route at Sears Termite & Pest Control in 1994, then built and sold his own pest control company. Today he and Grant Sinnott advise owners on one thing: selling pest control, termite and lawn care businesses.
When you call, you talk to people who know route density, renewals and what buyers really pay for.
Selling a pest control business: FAQ
Who do I need on my team to sell a pest control business?+
Five roles: an M&A advisor who runs the sale, an M&A attorney, a CPA, a wealth manager and a trust and estate attorney. We serve as your M&A advisor and can introduce the rest.
How much does a pest control M&A advisor cost?+
Fees depend on the size and structure of your deal, and we explain them plainly on the first call. The 15-minute call itself costs you nothing.
Will my employees or customers find out I am selling?+
No. Buyers sign a confidentiality agreement before they see your name or numbers, and your team hears about it only when you decide.
Do I have to be ready to sell to call?+
No. Many owners call two to five years before a sale to learn what their company is worth and what would raise the price.
