Pet Services
How is a pet services business valued?
Most pet services businesses are valued on a multiple of Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, typically in the 2.0x to 3.5x range. Customer retention, recurring appointment volume, facility ownership versus leasing, and staff stability all affect where you land within that range.
Can I sell if the business depends heavily on me?
Yes, but buyers will want to
Will my employees find out the business is for sale?
Not through us. BAA runs fully confidential processes. Buyers sign NDAs before receiving any information, and we never disclose the business name, address, or identifiable details until a buyer is qualified and under a letter of intent. Most employees don't find out until after closing — or only when the owner chooses to tell them. Protecting your crew during a sale is one of our core commitments.
How long does it take to sell a construction business?
From signed listing agreement to close, most construction deals take 6–12 months. Businesses that are well-prepared — clean financials, a licensing transition plan, documented processes — tend to close faster and at higher prices. The single biggest delay we see is incomplete or unreconciled financials. We help you get those sorted in the preparation phase before we ever go to market.
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
Most buyers want the seller to stay for a transition period — typically 30 to 90 days — to transfer customer relationships, introduce the new owner to key crew, and hand off operational knowledge. If you have a licensed qualifier, that person may need to stay longer depending on state licensing requirements. We negotiate transition terms as part of the deal structure to make sure your post-close obligations are clear and have an end date.
