Frequently asked questions — Service acquisitions
How is a service business valued?
Service businesses trade at 2–4× EBITDA. Key value drivers are client contract length and renewal rates, revenue concentration, and owner independence.
What are the key risks in service business acquisitions?
Client concentration (single client over 25% of revenue), key-person dependency, and the transferability of contracts are the primary risks.
How do I retain clients after acquiring a service business?
Introduce yourself early and personally to key clients, maintain service quality through the transition, and consider an earn-out structure to keep the seller aligned post-close.
