How a Pool Service Business Sold at 150x EBITDA with Recurring Chemical Contracts

In Episode 131 of The Buyer & Seller Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the sale of a mid-sized residential pool service company in Phoenix that sold for an eye-popping 150 times EBITDA. The key driver? A portfolio of locked-in chemical delivery contracts with automatic renewal clauses. Lucas walks through the deal structure, the buyer profile (a roll-up platform backed by PE), and why the multiple defied traditional service-business logic. They discuss how route density and subscription-like revenue transformed a seasonal maintenance business into a high-multiple asset. Luna pushes back on whether the multiple is sustainable, and they explore the risks of buyer overpayment in the post-COVID small-business M&A market. No fluff, just the numbers and the story behind a 150x exit. #PoolServiceBusiness #150xEBITDA #SubscriptionRevenue #BusinessExit #MiddleMarketM&A #RollUp #PrivateEquity #PhoenixBusiness #RecurringContracts #BusinessBrokers #SmallBusinessSale #ServiceBusiness #MultipleExpansion #FexingoBusiness #BuyerAndSellerPodcast #Podcast #Business #Finance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
