Sell-side exit advisory for established property service companies serving residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

AJS Capital advises owners of established Property Service Businesses — companies that maintain, repair, protect, or operate buildings and facilities using crews, systems, and repeatable operations.

These are not project-based or personality-driven companies. They are real operating businesses with recurring demand, professional operations, and buyer appeal.

Sell Your Property Service Business - The Right Way

What We Mean by “Property Service Business”

When we say Property Service Business, we mean:

Essential, recurring, non-discretionary services delivered to residential, commercial, and industrial properties by teams — not owner-only operators.

Typical businesses in this category include:

HVAC & Mechanical (residential, commercial, industrial)
Plumbing & Electrical
Restoration & Environmental Services
Roofing & Building Envelope
Landscaping, Snow & Ground Maintenance
Janitorial & Facility Services
Pest Control
Fire & Life Safety
Parking lot maintenance, sweeping, line painting
Property and facility management services
Specialty building systems and services with contracts or repeat customers

This is typically NOT a fir for:

Renovation or project-based builders
One-person or owner-only operations
Flippers or developers
Startups or early-stage businesses
Lifestyle or “job replacement” businesses

If your company runs with crews, systems, contracts, and repeat customers across multiple properties, you’re likely in the right category.

There’s a Big Difference Between Owing a Good Business and Exiting it Well

If you’ve built a solid property service company, you’ve already done something meaningful. You’ve built infrastructure, teams, and a real operating platform.

But building a good business and exiting it well are two very different disciplines.

A strong exit depends on things most owners don’t need to think about in daily operations:

How transferable the business really is
How risk shows up in financials, contracts, and operations
How a buyer will underwrite and finance the company
How the story is positioned and defended in due diligence

This is why two similar service companies can produce very different exit outcomes.

The Real Risks When Selling a Property Service Business

Most exits don’t fail because the business is weak. They fail because the process is rushed, poorly structured, or poorly positioned.

The most common mistakes:

Going to market before the business is truly ready

Letting buyers discover risk instead of fixing it first

Talking to the wrong buyers and losing leverage

Leaking confidentiality inside the business or the market

You don’t get paid for what your business is.
You get paid for how safe, scalable and transferable it is for a buyer.

Taking the first “reasoanble” offer instead of running a controlled process

Buyers Don’t Buy Businesses. They Buy Risk Profiles.

They look at:

Cash flow quality
Customer concentration
Management depth
Systems and documentation
Scalability
Transferability
Financing viability

Your job isn’t to convince them it’s a great business.

Your job is to remove friction, reduce risk, and make the deal easy to say yes to.

That’s a process.

The better questions are:

Is my business sellable?
Is it financeable?
Is it transferable?
Is the income defensible?

Valuation is not a formula.

It’s a function of risk, structure, and deal terms.

Two businesses with the same profit can sell for very different prices.
