What We Do

Built for Contractors. Focused on Outcomes.

We are a sell-side M&A firm. We represent founders who are ready to explore a sale of their business. We don’t work both sides of a deal, we don’t represent buyers, and we don’t get paid until you do.

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, paving and more.

⚖️

Sell-Side Advisory

Full process from valuation through closing. The right buyer, not just any buyer.

📊

Business Valuations

Defensible valuations that hold up in negotiations, not wishful numbers.

🎯

Buyer Matching

100s of buyers in network — PE firms, strategics, family offices — matched to your deal.

📄

CIM & Marketing

Professional confidential information memorandums that get responses.

🔒

Confidential Process

Employees, customers, competitors never know until you say go. Your team doesn’t find out from a rumor or a supplier.

🤝

Negotiation & Close

LOI structuring, due diligence management, and closing. We stay in until it’s done.

The Team

Three Partners. Every Deal.

Eric. Josh. Gregg. No bureaucracy, no layers, no handoffs — just the three people who built this firm, working on your deal.

Eric Seifert

Founder & Managing Partner

For six months (sometimes longer), we’re in it with you. Calls, texts, late nights, problem-solving — by the end of it, it doesn’t feel transactional. It feels personal.

Josh Gladtke

Managing Director & Partner

Behind every deal are real people, real families, generational stories. This transaction changes lives, not just bank accounts. A great process takes this all into account.

Gregg Lerman

COO & Partner

People often think M&A is about “finding” the buyer — as if the outcome comes down to who can reach them. In reality, buyers want to be found.

Track Record

What Founders Say After the Close

“Eric was great to work with. They took my concerns seriously and helped to find the partner I was looking for in this transaction. They were patient, calm, and informative throughout. I highly recommend Eric if you are considering selling, partnering, or recapitalizing your business.”

Zachary Silverstein · Academy Air

“I think you can quote us as being very selective in who we wished to sell to, and that you were very patient. You eventually found a buyer whose ethics, business knowledge and goals lined up with ours, making us comfortable in selling. We trust the employees are now in good hands for the future.”

Pat & Judy Quinlan · Coffman
