We don't advise every industry.
We advise yours.
Options2Exit works exclusively with home services and construction founders. The same industries we built businesses in. The same industries private equity has been quietly and systematically consolidating for years.
Private equity has your industry in its sights. Do you know what your business is worth?
Over the past several years, private equity firms have deployed hundreds of billions of dollars into home services and construction. They are running organized, well-resourced acquisition processes to build platforms in your market.
Most founders get inbound calls and handle them alone, without understanding what their business is actually worth, what buyers are willing to pay, or how to create the competition that drives valuation up. That is the problem we solve.
Roofing has been one of the most aggressively targeted sectors in lower middle market private equity for years, and that activity shows no signs of slowing. Buyers are organized, well-capitalized, and running sophisticated acquisition processes. What separates founders who get premium outcomes from those who don't comes down to two things: the quality of their financial presentation, and whether they ran a competitive process or took the first deal that came across their desk.
We help you do the former and ensure the latter never happens.
The residential HVAC services market has attracted sustained private equity interest, and financial buyers have become the dominant force in acquisitions across the sector. What buyers are looking for is consistent: recurring service revenue, documented maintenance agreements, and a business that does not depend entirely on the owner to function. Founders with those characteristics who also run a structured, competitive sale process consistently outperform those who handle inbound calls alone.
Plumbing is one of the most fragmented segments in home services, and that fragmentation is precisely what makes it attractive to institutional buyers building platforms through acquisition. PE firms in this space are specifically seeking businesses with service-based recurring revenue, documented cash flow, and a strong local market presence. How well you are positioned, and how many qualified buyers are at the table, determines the outcome you get.
Electrical contractor M&A has been accelerating, driven by the sustained buildout of data centers, grid infrastructure, and commercial electrification. Buyers are actively pursuing contractors with commercial exposure, specialty capabilities, and a track record of project execution. For founders in this space, buyer demand is real, but so is the cost of handling that demand without the right advisor in your corner.
Private equity buyers in construction are specifically targeting businesses with demonstrated scalability, recurring project backlog, strong subcontractor relationships, and end markets that extend beyond any single customer. The businesses that command the strongest outcomes are those where the owner has built something that runs beyond their personal involvement, and where the financial story is clean enough to hold up under rigorous institutional review.
Commercial landscaping has attracted consistent institutional buyer interest, driven by the appeal of contracted, recurring maintenance revenue. Buyers in this space make sharp distinctions between maintenance-heavy books of business and installation-heavy revenue, and they price accordingly. Founders who have built strong maintenance portfolios with documented contracts are in a position of significant leverage, provided they approach the process correctly.
The doors and windows sector draws interest from both strategic acquirers and private equity investors, with activity concentrated in specialty fabrication and installation businesses serving commercial and residential markets. The presence of both buyer types creates competitive dynamics that, when leveraged correctly, can drive meaningfully better terms. The question for founders is not just whether to sell, but how to run a process that puts the right buyers at the table and the right leverage in your hands.
Private equity buyers in the lower middle market have consistently identified founder-led business services companies with recurring revenue, strong margins, and documented growth as high-priority acquisition targets. Roll-up and bolt-on acquisitions represent the dominant deal structure in this sector, meaning buyers arrive with existing platforms and specific mandates. For founders, that translates to competitive buyer interest, but only if the process is run correctly.
