Sell your construction business in St. John's
Construction businesses sell at lower multiples than service trades because of project-based revenue, surety bonding requirements, and key-personnel risk. But sophisticated sellers in the right sub-segments (commercial GCs, specialty subs, design-build firms) can achieve solid prices when sale preparation is done right.
In St. John's: Downtown hospitality and professional services, industrial in the harbour and Donovans area, growing residential services in Paradise and Mount Pearl.
