Termite business M&A advisor. Sellers only, always.
A termite book is not a pest control book. Renewal liability, bond obligations, WDO inspection volume and treatment warranties all change what a buyer will pay and how they will structure it. We have negotiated those specifics for three decades.
Three people will offer to help you sell. Only one works for you.
Termite owners are frequently approached directly by acquirers who already know exactly what the renewal book is worth. You should too, before the first number gets said out loud.
Lists your company and waits for someone to call. No targeting, no tension, and often the same listing service is happy to work with the buyer.
Approaches you directly and offers to “value” your business. They are the buyer. Their valuation is the number they would like to pay.
Represents you only, approaches the whole qualified buyer universe under NDA at once, and negotiates the terms as hard as the price.

What representation looks like for a termite company.
Renewal books valued honestly
Annual renewals, bond counts, retention curves and average renewal price are presented as the durable revenue stream they are, rather than lumped in with one-off treatment work.
Warranty liability handled early
Repair bonds and treatment warranties are the first thing a buyer discounts. We quantify and present them before diligence turns them into a retrade.
A competitive, confidential process
Nationals, termite-hungry platforms and regional operators approached at once under NDA, from a blind profile.
Terms that survive the transition
Escrow, holdbacks tied to warranty claims, and your role after closing, all negotiated before exclusivity begins.
Who buys termite companies.
Termite revenue is prized precisely because it renews. In many markets the competition for a clean termite book is stronger than for general pest.
National strategics
The nationals treat termite as a defensive category. A dense renewal book in a strong termite market is exactly what they are short of.
Pest platforms adding termite
Investor-backed pest platforms buy termite capability to cross-sell into an existing customer base, and will pay for the licenses and technicians.
Regional termite specialists
Local operators who understand the bond liability better than anyone often bid most aggressively for a book in their own footprint.
Paid by you. Aligned with you.
Our fee comes from the seller, and the great majority of it is a success fee tied to the final purchase price. If your outcome improves, ours does. No buyer pays us anything, ever.
The bulk of what we earn is contingent on closing at a price you accept.
We never represent a buyer on the other side of a transaction, in your industry or any other.
Fees, scope and the length of the engagement are agreed in writing before we begin.
From engagement to funds wired, most sales run six to nine months depending on diligence.
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.
Owners we have represented.
What termite owners ask.
Buyers look at renewal count, retention, average renewal price and how long the book has been stable, then apply that to normalized earnings. A well-documented renewal book with high retention is one of the most valuable assets in home services.
No, but hiding them will. Warranty and repair liability is normal and priceable. We quantify it up front so it becomes a modeled cost rather than a late-diligence surprise that reprices the whole transaction.
Almost never. The combination is usually worth more together, because a buyer gets a cross-sellable base. We model both scenarios so the decision is made on numbers.
Never. Sellers only, in every vertical we work in.
