Sell your hvac & plumbing business in Nanaimo

HVAC and plumbing companies sell for higher multiples than almost any other trade because they have recurring service revenue, sticky customer relationships, and increasing PE and strategic buyer interest. We've helped HVAC owners across BC and Alberta sell to private equity, regional consolidators, and individual operators — usually at multiples of 3.5x–5x SDE for owner-operated and 5x–8x EBITDA for established companies with management depth.
