Acknowledgment: I would like to thank my wife, Michele. Everything I have is because she keeps me in the lane. If you can picture the bumper guides in a bowling alley, that is what she has done for me. I am a strong visionary with a strong entrepreneurial spirit. This means I start 47 new businesses each day before lunch. She has lovingly kept me in the lane, patiently put up with all my ideas, quietly saved money, and built a financial foundation for my family. I would spend it all before sundown if it was left in my hands.
I would also like to thank my savior Jesus Christ. I was lost but now I am found. If you do not know Jesus Christ, I suggest you check him out. He is my everything. I am nothing without him and anything good in me reflects he who is in me. I’m not sure why you see me as any value Jesus, but I am so glad you do. I will follow you anywhere.

Introduction
One of the biggest financial opportunities is playing out right before our eyes. The baby boomer generation of business owners is about to retire and sell or close businesses. One estimate is that as many as 75% of privately owned businesses will be for sale or closed in the next 10 years. If you are one of these boomer business owners, you need to take steps to maximize the value of your business and get it sold. The chapters of this guide will tell you how to do this. If you are on the younger end of the boomer business owners, then you can make significant wealth that will have generational impacts on your family. To earn this wealth, you need to learn how to take advantage of a unique opportunity. The words of this guide will tell how to do just that. The guide is short and to the point. I tell you how to do it. But the list is not exhaustive. It would take a volume of encyclopedias to do that. Every business is different, every deal is different, and to navigate the waters you need a guide. You need an experienced M&A advisor that has bought and sold HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses before. If you do not know a guide, I would love to be yours. Just reach out.
You may be asking why HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses? It comes down to supply, demand, financing, and opportunity. There are many of these businesses out there. Some estimates are as high as 350,000+ across the US. Many current owners will tell you there is way too much competition. What is about to occur over the next 10 years is going to decrease this number. You see most of these businesses will not survive. Many of them will simply close because the owner will not take steps to make the business valuable to a buyer. They simply run the business day to day with small profits, no real plan, the business is wholly dependent on the owner, and it will not sell. But a small percentage will figure it out or have figured out some or all the things this guide is about to tell you. So, the supply of these services is about to diminish. Now let us look at the demand. It does not matter what the economy is like, people will not live without air conditioning, a toilet that will flush, or lights. These services will always be in demand. And with fewer companies to meet that demand, the price is about to go up. The next reason is available capital through financing. The Small Business Administration (SBA) is very experienced with and comfortable with lending money to qualified buyers for an 80/20 purchase of an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical business. This is where the SBA loans 80% of the price and the current business owner finances the remaining 20%. With all these businesses closing or selling the opportunity is going to be large. For the next 10 years if you know how to buy a good business for a good price you are going to be able to mass a tremendous amount of wealth.
This guide will walk you through that process. It is primarily written for current HVAC, plumbing, and electrical business owners. I strongly believe that you need to understand the intricacies of the contracting business before you start buying up a business to run. Knowing how to profitably run one of these businesses is critical and most of the current business owners are not real great at doing it profitably. Now if you are not in the business and you want to partner with someone who knows the business, you would probably be ok. But I would not recommend just buying up contractor-based businesses if you do not understand the game. For current business owners that want to sell for the most money or get rich buying other companies, let’s dive right in.
You hear from time to time of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses selling for significant money. Usually, the rumors floating around the supply house, at trade meetings, and among friendly competitors. Sometimes the rumor is about a crazy high sell price and
