Why a Roofing Company Sold at 55x EBITDA with Recurring Storm Data

In Episode 86 of The Buyer & Seller Podcast, Lucas and Luna break down the surprising sale of a small roofing company in Oklahoma City that fetched over 55 times EBITDA. The key wasn't new roofs or even insurance claims — it was a proprietary database of 14 years of storm-damage patterns, granular down to individual ZIP codes and hail-size records. Buyers weren't buying a roofing crew; they were buying a predictive weather-risk model that could be licensed to insurers, reinsurers, and property-tech firms. Lucas walks through how the owner built the data asset over a decade without any tech background, why the multiple blew past software-company valuations, and what it means for other Main Street business owners sitting on under-valued information. The episode also includes a brief, honest moment about how listener support through Buy Me a Coffee keeps the show ad-free. #RoofingBusiness #StormData #BusinessValuation #EBITDA #DataMonetization #WeatherRisk #InsuranceTech #MainStreetBusiness #BusinessExit #BusinessBrokers #PrivateSales #OklahomaCity #PredictiveAnalytics #RecurringRevenue #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheBuyerAndSellerPodcast #DataAsset Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
