Step by Step

How the sale
works

Pricing the Business

A pool business is priced from earnings, recurring service routes and maintenance contracts, construction backlog, inventory and equipment, and what similar businesses have sold for.

Quiet Marketing

Qualified buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before they see the business name or its numbers. Customers, crews and competitors are not told.

Seasonal Records

Pool businesses run in seasons. Buyers look at more than one season of sales and service records and at open construction jobs, with your accountant and attorney.

Closing and Handoff

The business and the property close together, and we coordinate the customer and supplier handoff with your attorney.

Selling a Pool or Spa Business in NJ

Valuation Opinion

An opinion of what the business could sell for, based on earnings, service routes, inventory and sales of similar businesses.

Confidential Marketing

Buyers who qualify and sign an NDA see the business. Your customers and crews hear about it from you.

Showroom and Yard Real Estate

If you own the retail space, warehouse or yard, we sell it with the business or set up a lease for the buyer.

Buyer Search

We also represent buyers looking for an established pool or spa business, including service companies adding a retail location.

Records and Paperwork

Your accountant and attorney review the financials, service contracts, inventory counts, vehicles and leases. We coordinate it.

Timing the Sale

We plan the listing around your season so a buyer can see how the business performs and can take over when it suits both sides.

Showroom, Warehouse and Yard

A pool or spa business may operate from a retail showroom, a warehouse and a yard for equipment and stock. If you own that property, the sale can include it, or you can keep it and rent it to the buyer.

If the business rents its space, the lease usually goes with the sale, with the landlord's agreement to the buyer taking over. The years left on the lease come with it.

John and Justin handle the real estate side of the sale. Your attorney and accountant handle the legal and financial side, and we coordinate with them.

Common Questions

Pool Business
FAQs

Does the time of year matter when selling a pool business?+
It can. Many buyers want to see a full season of results, so we plan the timing around your season and around when a buyer can take over.
How are pool service routes valued?+
Buyers look at how many accounts you have, how many renew from year to year, what they pay, and how much of the work depends on you personally. Your accountant can help you pull those numbers together.
Is inventory included in the price?+
It depends on the deal. Inventory is usually counted near closing and handled in the purchase agreement your attorney prepares.
Can the showroom or warehouse be sold with the business?+
Yes. The property can be sold with the business, or the buyer can lease it from you. We lay out both so you can compare them with your advisors.
Will customers and crews hear about the sale early?+
Not before a buyer is qualified and signs an NDA. The business is described without being named until then.
What is the Consumer Information Statement (CIS) and when will I receive it?+
It is the form that shows how an agent can work with you in New Jersey: representing the seller, representing the buyer, transaction brokerage or disclosed dual agency (one brokerage representing both sides, with written consent). You get it from us at the start, before we discuss your transaction and before you share confidential information. It is covered in N.J.A.C. 11:5-6.9.
Are real estate commissions negotiable?+
Yes. Real estate commissions in New Jersey are negotiable, and the amount is agreed between you and the brokerage. We talk about compensation at the start.
