You Built Something
Worth Keeping
Let's Protect It Together
Thinking about selling your home service business? We get it — it's not just a company, it's your name on the trucks, your crew, your customers who trust you. Sealey Investments partners with owners like you to make transitions that keep what you built alive and thriving.
“We focus on home service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and more — across the Southeast. We're not a faceless private equity group. We're two partners who believe the best businesses are built by people who care.”
Ben Sealey, Founding Partner
How It Works
Straightforward. No Surprises.
We know you didn't build your business overnight, and selling it shouldn't feel rushed either. Here's exactly how the process works from first call to close.
01
The Conversation
1–2 phone calls
We’ll hop on a call and just talk. Tell us about your business, your team, what you’ve built, and what’s on your mind. We’ll share how we work and what partnership could look like. We’ll also talk about what role you’d want after a sale — whether that’s staying on to lead, stepping into an advisory role, or walking away to enjoy retirement. There’s no pitch, no pressure, and no commitment. Just an honest conversation to see if there’s a fit.
02
Discovery & Planning
2–4 weeks
If we both feel good about it, we sign a mutual NDA and dig a little deeper — things like revenue mix, team structure, customer contracts, and maintenance plans. Together, we’ll sketch a 30/90/360-day roadmap for what happens after closing: who stays, what changes, and what doesn’t. This is a two-way conversation — your input shapes the plan as much as ours.
03
Offer & Transition
1–2 months to close
We’ll send a clear Letter of Intent that spells out the deal: purchase price, structure, your role, and timeline. No surprises, no fine print games. After a final site visit and standard diligence, we close and get to work — side by side with you and your team. Your customers won’t skip a beat, and your crew will know they’re in good hands.
Who We Work With
Built for Business Owners Like You
Home Service Businesses
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, pest control, roofing — if you serve homeowners and have a team, we want to talk.
Established Teams
Businesses with real employees — techs, office staff, managers — who are the backbone of what you’ve built.
Owners Ready for What’s Next
Whether that’s retirement, a lighter role, or partnering to grow — we work with owners at every stage of the transition.
Our Commitments
What We Actually Promise
Not platitudes. Not slogans. Here's what we commit to every owner we partner with.
Your Team Stays
We don’t buy businesses to gut them. Your people are the reason the business works — we invest in them, not replace them.
Fair, Transparent Valuation
We’ll walk you through exactly how we value your business — based on real financials, not lowball formulas. You’ll understand every number.
Your Customers Won’t Know the Difference
Same name on the trucks, same faces showing up, same quality of work. We protect the reputation you’ve built.
You Choose Your Role
Want to stay on as a leader? Transition to advisory? Walk away and enjoy retirement? It’s your call — and we’ll honor it.
Common Questions
What Owners Ask Us
How do you determine what my business is worth?
We look at your financials holistically — revenue, profit margins, recurring maintenance contracts, team stability, customer base, and equipment. We’ll walk you through our valuation so you understand every number. We also encourage you to get an independent valuation if you’d like a second opinion.
Will you keep my employees?
Yes. Your team is a big part of why we’re interested. We don’t acquire businesses to cut staff — we invest in the people who make the business run. Key employees often see expanded opportunities after a transition.
What happens to my company’s name and reputation?
We typically keep the business name, branding, and local identity intact. Your customers chose you for a reason — we want to keep earning that trust, not start over.
Do I have to leave after the sale?
That’s entirely up to you. Some owners stay on to lead day-to-day operations. Others transition to an advisory role. Some are ready to step away completely. We’ll structure the deal around what you want.
How long does the whole process take?
From first conversation to closing, most deals take 2–4 months. We move at a pace that feels comfortable for you — we won’t rush you, and we won’t drag it out.
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. We sign a mutual NDA early in the process. Your employees, customers, and competitors will not know you’re exploring a sale unless you choose to tell them.
Who You'll Work With
Two Partners. Not a Corporation.
When you call Sealey Investments, you talk to Ben or Brian. Not a call center. Not a junior associate. The people who make the decisions are the people you'll work with from day one.
Ben Sealey
Founding Partner
Ben has spent his career building and acquiring businesses — and he’s done it by putting people first every time. He led the growth of Simple Give into Ministry Brands, one of the largest faith-based software groups in the U.S., through a series of partnerships and acquisitions. He brings that same approach to home services: find great owners, protect what they’ve built, and create something bigger together.
Brian Killackey
Managing Partner
Brian is a finance leader who’s spent years advising small business owners across the country. He’s helped dozens of owners understand their numbers, build stronger systems, and plan for the future. At Sealey Investments, Brian makes sure every valuation is fair, every deal is structured right, and every owner feels confident in the transition.
Let's Talk
Confidential. No Obligation.
Not sure if you're ready? That's fine. Most owners aren't when they first reach out. We're happy to answer questions, talk through your options, or just listen. Everything is confidential.
