Business valuation is both an art and a science. Our proprietary valuation models have been developed as a result of our 30 years of exclusive pest industry experience.

Selling a Pest Control Company - Preferred Business Brokers

When Is The Best Time to Sell My Pest Control Business?

Since 1987, Preferred Business Brokers has enjoyed a significant advantage over our competition. Our 30 years of pest industry business transaction knowledge and experience, combined with our connections in the industry are simply unmatched. While our clients work on the day-to-day operations of their businesses, we work confidentially with potential candidates in order to maximize our client's Exit Strategy goals while minimizing risk.

Pest control business owners decide to sell for a number of reasons. Sometimes an owner decides to sell when a goal is met that is worth more than the continued cost of business involvement. Often, there are external triggers.

Here, directly from our files, is a five-year look at why pest control company owners have exited their business. A full one half of all owners leave in order to pursue another business opportunity! Another 25% are seeking retirement, while only 4% experience a life event like divorce, death or illness. Finally 21% remain in the pest industry and are liquidating only in a particular geographic location.

“It’s been a great ride. Lots of hard work and some great rewards along the way. Now it’s time to just simplify things.” – P.D.

Wherever you are within the life cycle of your business, Preferred Business Brokers/Advisory Services works with you to analyze your company’s strengths and weaknesses relative to value. And when the time comes, prepared clients confidently work through individual exit strategies “eyes wide open” and in-charge.
