How a Handyman Business Sold at 700x EBITDA with Recurring Referral Network

In Episode 126 of The Buyer & Seller Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the sale of a handyman business that achieved an astounding 700x EBITDA multiple. The key wasn't route density or recurring contracts, but a passive referral network of 50 local real estate agents who fed the business high-margin jobs. The hosts explain how the owner automated the referral system using a simple CRM integration, why buyers valued the network as a durable moat, and what this means for other service businesses. They also discuss the broader trend of 'platform-like' multiples being applied to micro-businesses with structural advantages. If you're considering selling a small business or acquiring one, this episode offers a concrete playbook for building recurring deal flow without recurring service revenue. #HandymanBusiness #BusinessSale #700xEBITDA #RecurringReferral #RealEstateAgentNetwork #MicroBusinessMoat #BusinessBroker #ExitPlanning #SellingABusiness #AcquisitionStrategy #ServiceBusiness #PassiveRevenue #CRMIntegration #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheBuyerAndSellerPodcast #LucasAndLuna #EBITDAMultiple Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
