MPC Heating & Cooling
Owner★★★★★Sold to a Competitor and it was Easy.“Selling MPC Heating & Cooling was a big decision for us and Earned Exits stepped up where it counted. Their financial team put in the time to work alongside us and get our numbers current and ready for buyers. They also did a great job finding the right buyer—not just someone who could close, but a true strategic fit who understands the HVAC business and can keep things growing. What I appreciated most was how smooth everything went once we got into due diligence and the legal side. Straightforward, hardworking group that knows how to get a deal done the right way.”
Smash My Trash
Michelle Taylor★★★★★Seamless Selling Experience!“This was our first time selling a business, and Britt at Earned Exits put us at ease as she helped us navigate the process. Her communication was excellent. If she wasn’t able to answer my phone calls, she always returned them in a timely manner or sent a text or email with the time she would get back to me. This team was highly organized and provided tools for us to input the necessary information that was requested by the buyers. The Earned Exits CFO and due diligence team were also incredibly thorough and efficient, helping to streamline the process and keep everything on track. We would definitely use Earned Exits again.”
WaterHauler
Owner★★★★★Sold in less than 6 months.“The company provided state-licensed potable water to residential and commercial customers throughout West Texas for 25+ years, building a reputation as a reliable source of high-quality drinking water. Over 175 buyers actively participated in the sales process, indicating a significant level of interest in the company and validation of our marketing plan for this client. Impressively, seven initial qualified offers were received, all of which were within 89% of the asking price. Our team was able to create deal tension by obtaining 3 final over-asking price offers, resulting in significant cash at closing ($10+ million)and a seller note with an attractive 9% interest rate.”
Dairy Queen
Owner★★★★★2 Locations Sold at Asking Price“With over 6,800 restaurants worldwide, Dairy Queen is one of the top franchises in the world and has 95% consumer brand recognition. After running two DQ franchises in Kansas for 17 years, the owners were ready for their next stage of life. Our team worked with 95 buyers interested in purchasing the two franchises, allowing the new owner to be semi-absentee given the tenure and experience of current management in place at both stores. Our team oversaw multiple offers, resulting in a sale value over the asking price. With attention to detail in working with the Dairy Queen Corporate Franchise Transition group, we exceeded our expectations by finding the right buyer at the right time.”
Legal Processor Server
Owner★★★★★Sale price of 60% over market!“This legal process server delivers legal documents to parties in a lawsuit. The business was built on efficiency and professionalism for its clients, which has created several repeat clients. The company developed solid cash flow but has a customer concentration of over 40% with one client. Our team generated over 50 buyers with most offers at a 2.5x adjusted EBITDA offer price. Even though the market was at 2.5x, our team found an industry strategic buyer who was ready to improve the business through technology. The final offer was 4.0x adjusted EBITDA; 60% over market.”
