For HVAC company owners

You run an HVAC company. A buyer already has you on a list.

Private equity has been rolling up HVAC companies for years, bolting them onto bigger platforms one after another. If you run a good shop, the call is coming. The free Map shows you where you stand before it does, in 10 questions, whether you sell or not.

Free. 10 questions, about 10 minutes. No sales call, ever.

The HVAC roll-up is already at your door.

Backed platforms are buying HVAC businesses across the country and stacking them together. They employ people whose whole job is to find owners like you, buy the data, and make the call. If you run a good HVAC company, you're on a list. The only question is whether you're ready when they ring.

The free check

In about 10 minutes, you'll see

01

Where you stand

The Map asks 10 plain questions and places your company on one of five stages: run, release, prove, attract, command.

02

Your weakest spot

The one place a buyer would push on first, so you know where to start looking.

03

What to do next

The part of the book Buyer-Ready that fits your stage, and the Buyer-Ready Kit if you want the tools to fix it at your own kitchen table.

A composite, built from real deals

Gene ran a 22-year-old mechanical services company in the Northeast. He took the call in his own parking lot on a Tuesday in March. Six weeks later there was a dinner, and a number: fourteen million dollars. He shook the man's hand.

Then the buyer's accountants went to work. Most of his add-backs got priced at zero. His biggest customer's contract had quietly gone month-to-month. By the wire, the cash was $9.8 million. Nobody cheated him. He just started getting ready the day the phone rang, and by then the answers were already someone else's.

Gene is a composite from the book Buyer-Ready, built from real owners, with the figures rounded and blended. He is not the worst case. He is the ordinary one.

The free Map is how you get ready before the call, not during it. The book shows you how. The Kit puts it to work on your shop.
