How a Garage Door Business Sold at 15x EBITDA with Routing Software

Lucas and Luna break down the exit of a mid-size garage door installation and repair company in Phoenix that sold for 15 times EBITDA in early 2026. The key driver? A custom-built routing and scheduling platform that slashed dispatcher hours from 40 to 12 per week and reduced fuel costs by 22 percent. They walk through how the software was developed, how buyers valued it as a proprietary technology asset, and why a field-service business with thin margins can command a software multiple if the operational data is clean. The episode also covers the tax structuring that allowed the seller to defer capital gains through an installment sale — a common move in service-company exits that many owners overlook. #GarageDoorBusiness #FieldServiceExit #RoutingSoftware #OperationalEfficiency #EBITDAMultiple #ServiceBusiness #Phoenix #DispatchSoftware #FuelCostReduction #TaxDeferral #InstallmentSale #CapitalGains #BusinessBroker #SmallBusinessExit #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ServiceIndustry #TechEnabledExit Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
