You're ready to move on.
We buy service businesses ourselves, so often you're talking to the actual buyer, not a broker taking a cut to shop you around a room. If it isn't a fit for us, we usually know who it's for and what they'll really pay.
The number in your head and the number a buyer writes down are rarely the same. The gap is almost never your revenue. It's whether the business survives the day you stop showing up.
Here's what changes
The instinct is to wait until you're ready, then hand it to a broker. By then it's too late to change the one thing that sets the price. A buyer's first question isn't what you earn, it's what happens to the business the day you walk. If the answer is "it falls apart," you're not selling a company. You're selling yourself a few more years of work at a discount.
We buy service businesses. We've sat on the exact side of the table you're about to sit at, so we know the structure that turns a job-with-your-name-on-it into something a buyer pays real money for. Most of those fixes need runway. You only have it if you start before you list.
We buy, we sell, and we consult on acquisitions, because we've done all three. Wherever you are in this, there's a door.

An honest number and a short punch list: what a buyer pays for it today, and the specific things standing between that and a higher one. Bring it cold, or years ahead of when you plan to sell.
Buyer keeps moving the goalposts on structure, terms, or diligence? We've been that buyer. We'll tell you which demands are standard and which ones to push back on, before you sign the thing.
When we tell you what a buyer wants, it isn't a broker's theory pulled from a listing template. It's the checklist we run with our own money before we wire it. That's the difference between advice that sounds right and advice that survives diligence.
The trades, the services, the routes. Real revenue, real systems, no story to sell.
