Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Construction Business in Louisville
How much is my Louisville construction business worth?
Construction business valuations depend on revenue, profitability, contract backlog, bonding capacity, equipment value, workforce stability, and growth trends. Our free confidential valuation gives you an accurate, data-driven estimate — no cost, no obligation.
How long does it take to sell a construction business?
On average, 6 to 12 months. Construction businesses with strong backlogs, transferable bonds, and well-documented financials tend to sell faster.

Not if you work with CGK. We use blind listings, require NDAs, and carefully control information flow. Your team and trade partners will not know until you are ready.
What does a broker charge to sell my construction business?
CGK works on a success-fee basis — we only get paid when your construction business sells. No upfront fees or retainers.
What records do I need?
Having clean books, 3 years of tax returns, a contract backlog summary, equipment list, and bonding information helps maximize your sale price. We guide you through preparation.
