Why a Pool Service Sold at 35x EBITDA with Route Data

from The Buyer & Seller Podcast with Fexingo: Business Brokers, Exits, and Private Sales Explained · host Fexingo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the mechanics behind a pool service business that sold for 35x EBITDA. They explore why route density and recurring service contracts command such high multiples, how the seller optimized his routes before listing, and what buyers like private equity firms look for in these businesses. Using the pool service as a case study, the hosts break down the concept of 'route value' and explain how small operational tweaks can dramatically increase a business's sale price. They also touch on the broader trend of service businesses being acquired for their customer lists and predictable revenue streams. No fluff—just a clear, specific look at one business and the numbers behind its exit. #PoolService #RouteData #EBITDA #BusinessExit #PrivateEquity #RecurringRevenue #ServiceBusiness #BusinessSale #MultipleExpansion #CustomerList #RouteOptimization #SmallBusiness #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #BusinessBrokers #Acquisition #MergersAndAcquisitions #SellerTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
