Skilled Legacy | Exits for Skilled Trades Owners

What we do

Exit options that fit your goals.

Every owner's situation is different. We structure deals that match your vision for the business, and the people who built it with you.

Full Exit

Ready for retirement or your next chapter? We facilitate complete ownership transfers at competitive valuations, with a transition that respects what you built.

Growth Partner

Bring on a capital partner to fund trucks, techs, and territory while keeping operational control and meaningful equity. Take chips off the table without walking away.

Stay-On Transition

Sell the company, keep your seat. Stay on as operator while ownership transitions. Your crew stays in place, and your name stays on the truck.

What's the business worth?

Four quick questions, no email required to see the number. Buyers value trades businesses as a multiple of the owner's total take-home, adjusted for how predictable the work is. This gives you an honest starting range based on what's actually selling right now.

Add up everything the business puts in your pocket in a typical year: your salary, the profit, plus perks the company covers like your truck, phone, and insurance. Buyers call this your "owner benefit" and it's the number they multiply.
