What do we understand about the decisions behind selling a Pest Control Business?
Time Management
We understand that many owners may not have the time or inclination to dig into their routing software thoroughly as it is not their focus.

ACCURATE BUSINESS MODEL VALUATIONS
At the heart of the M&A game, a quality exit strategy firm needs to be able to provide their client with an indicator of value using REAL DATA from operations, assumed cost of capital and potential purchaser hurdle rates in order to set a seller’s expectations about how the sale of their Pest Control business is likely to unfold.
PEST CONTROL BUSINESS SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
We have a number of on staff experts in Pestpac,
MERGER & ACQUISITION BUSINESS LAW
Our on-staff lawyer specializes in Merger & Acquisitions transactions in the Pest Control Industry. When a transaction presents itself, it is important to be able to assess the offer from a CONTRACTUAL or legal perspective. Merger & Acquisition transactional documents contain many clauses starting with the offer (Letter of Intent). While the offered sale price may appear attractive, the contract terms and conditions may spell “CAUTION.” It is for this reason, that any quality Merger & Acquisition Exit Strategy Firm should have an attorney on staff to assess all offers. We have one of the best lawyers in the industry on our team.
TAX CONSULTING & MINIMIZATION STRATEGIES
We have several on staff CPAs with extensive tax experience in Merger & Acquisition transactions who understand the significant tax ramifications in doing deals. Naturally, the seller is interested in keeping the most after-tax proceeds from the sale. Tax planning starts with the decision to sell and requires professionals who understand the tax law and know how to optimally structure deals for their clients. Having CPAs and an attorney on staff requires significant resources usually only available to larger investment banking firms. A boutique exit strategy firm specializing in the Pest Control Industry that has the on staff resources to provide tax and legal expertise will greatly improve your odds of minimizing the tax impact allowing a seller to receive greater after-tax sale proceeds from any deal. Our firm has the technical knowledge to navigate the tax laws employing several CPAs and a tax attorney.
DUE DILIGENCE
Our managing director has personally owned and managed a Pest Control Firm and our on-staff professionals work with Pest Control business owners on a daily basis on a variety of operational and financial issues. Many pest control business acquisition deals die before they ever have a chance because due diligence turns up issues that become deal killers. Quality exit strategy firms will have a representative sit through the entire due diligence process who is intimately knowledgeable about all aspects of the business. This representative should be fluent in all aspects of business and be prepared with answers to tough questions without having to lean on outside lawyers and CPAs. Does the exit strategy firm you are considering have such a representative? We do!

Selling a long time established family business is a huge and very emotional decision. Dan and John helped us make the decision to sell, and did a great job getting us the best offer while making sure that we minimized the tax bite. I can’t say enough about how they navigated the valuation and the tax and legal minefields in getting our deal done!
The PCO M&A Specialists team worked very closely with me to help me achieve my primary goals. Dan, John, and the entire PCO M&A Specialists team are seasoned professionals, and their expertise in the finances and unique legalities of the pest control industry resulted in a deal that went smoothly and achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations.
The PCO M&A Specialists team are CPAs, Analysts, MBAs and a transactional attorney ready to help. Their skill set includes determining value, marketing sellers to many buyers who have significant cash, are ready to buy, and who they have great relationships with. It’s a very powerful combination of talent that puts a seller in the driver seat.
Their expertise is far reaching and multidimensional. They don’t just broker the deal, collect a commission and leave you to your own accountant or attorney who may not be familiar with how pest industry deals get done. They are a team of seasoned professionals who are ready to help.
Based on my own experience I think PCO M&A Specialists, not unlike my New Mexico applicator’s license, are #1 in delivering on their service promise. They’ve assembled an outstanding team of professionals that help clients interested in selling their businesses achieve maximum value.
