Sell Your Service Business — Confidential Sales for Service-Based Businesses with $1.5M+ in Revenue

Sell Your Service Business With Confidence

 

Service businesses are often complex to sell. They rely on people, reputation, and consistency — not just equipment or hard assets. Sometimes they have recurring contracts, sometimes they don't.  That’s where CGK Business Sales comes in.

We help owners of established service businesses quietly and successfully exit their companies, while maximizing value and minimizing disruption. Whether you operate in commercial cleaning, landscaping, security, logistics, staffing, or another service-based sector, we know how to position your business to serious, qualified buyers.

Our process is fully confidential, personalized, and handled by experienced M&A professionals — not junior brokers or automated platforms.  We are experts at selling service businesses.

What’s Your Service Business Worth in Today’s Market?

  • Buyers are attracted to service companies that offer:

    • Recurring revenue or long-term contracts (though we have sold plenty that don't!)

    • Strong employee retention and management

    • Predictable cash flow and stable margins

    • Limited owner involvement in day-to-day operations (though this is not often the case!)

    • Scalable service models with room to grow

    • A strong local or regional reputation

At CGK, we understand how to highlight these features to strategic, financial, and individual buyers — all while protecting your confidentiality.

 

 

Just a Few of the Types of Service Businesses We Represent:

We’ve successfully represented service businesses in a wide variety of industries, including:

  • Moving and relocation companies

  • Restoration and remediation services

  • Commercial cleaning, residential cleaning, and janitorial services

  • Alarm monitoring and security firms

  • Staffing and recruiting agencies

Business Valuation Is the First Step

While our focus is on selling your company, the process often begins with understanding what it’s worth. We provide confidential, market-based valuations for qualified service business owners with $1.5M+ in revenue or $300K+ in profit.

This valuation is tailored to your business — factoring in contract structures, customer mix, recurring revenue, owner dependence, and more. And it’s always kept strictly confidential.

🎯 Thinking about selling? It starts with understanding your company’s market value.
