Archveo Advisors helps owners of plumbing businesses in the New York metro area sell to the right buyer, confidentially and at the right price. We manage the full transaction, from valuation and preparation through buyer outreach, negotiation, and closing.
Every engagement is led directly by Eric Mendelsohn, Founder and Principal of Archveo Advisors, who has personally completed more than 25 business transactions across the lower middle market.
Plumbing and mechanical contracting is a durable, essential-services category that buyers actively seek, especially companies with recurring service work and a licensed crew.
Archveo runs a controlled, confidential process built around your business: we recast the financials, benchmark against comparable transactions, approach qualified buyers directly, and stay involved through diligence and closing, all while your technicians, customers, and competitors stay unaware until you decide.
Plumbing businesses generally trade on a multiple of owner earnings (SDE or EBITDA). Where a specific company lands depends on the share of recurring service and maintenance work, licensed technician retention, customer concentration, and how clean the financials are.
The ranges shown are illustrative of the lower middle market. Your real valuation is built from comparable transactions and current buyer demand, and reviewed with you directly.
Illustrative ranges for the lower middle market, not a quote. A real valuation is built from comparable transactions and current buyer demand, and reviewed with you directly.
Two businesses with the same revenue can sell for very different multiples. These are the factors buyers reward most, and the ones we help you position before going to market.
Rather than waiting for whoever happens to inquire, we identify and approach the buyers who fit your business and bring them into a confidential, competitive process.
Every business is different, but a well run sale generally follows five stages, each actively managed from the first conversation to the closing wire.
I listed with others for 18 months. Not one offer. Eric Mendelsohn had 5 meetings and 3 offers in 2 weeks, and we closed in under 90 days. He followed up as needed without being over anxious.
Plumbing businesses trade on a multiple of owner earnings that depends on recurring service revenue, licensed technician retention, customer mix, and the quality of the financials. A defensible number is built from comparable transactions, not a rule of thumb.
Recurring service and maintenance agreements, a retained licensed crew, a diversified customer base, and clean recast financials all raise the multiple.
Private-equity-backed home-services platforms, larger strategic contractors, and individual operators and search funds are all active buyers.
Yes. Buyers are screened and sign a non-disclosure agreement before any identifying information is released, and details are shared in stages.
