Your 4 Real Exit Options

Most trades owners only see three ways out. None of them are great. We exist to be the fourth.

Private Equity: Big Check, Bigger Strings

  • Must be big enough to interest a fund
  • 3–5 years as an employee in your own company
  • Pressure for rapid changes in pricing, staffing, and culture
  • Your name and way of doing things often disappear

Sell to a Tech: Great Wrench, Untested CEO

  • You need a licensed operator who can qualify to own
  • Usually strong at the trade, weak at business systems
  • Often relies on heavy seller financing – your retirement depends on their learning curve
  • Risk they default or drag down the reputation you built

Shut It Down: Legacy and People Scattered

  • Work until you can’t, then close the doors
  • Liquidate trucks and tools for pennies on the dollar
  • Good employees forced to start over at a new shop
  • Any debts tied to you personally follow you into retirement
Best Option

Sell to Stoneburgh: Exit Clean, Protect Your Legacy

  • We are a long-term holding company, not a PE roll-up
  • We keep your brand and your people, and install our own trained leadership
  • You can step out of the operator seat on day 1, not months or years
  • Your business becomes part of a platform built to turn blue collar into gold collar
How Selling to Stoneburgh Works

How Selling to Stoneburgh Works

1

Intro & Fit Call

15–30 minutes. Confidential, no heavy data room. We learn who you are, where the business is, and what you care about in a sale.

2

Light Info & Indicative Range

You share basic numbers under NDA. We give you a realistic value range and structure, not a fantasy multiple.

3

LOI → Diligence → Closing

If we both like the range, we move to a Letter of Intent, focused confirmatory diligence (60–90 days), and a Day‑1 plan so you can step out.
