Industry: Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning
Sell a Pressure Washing Business in Florida
Pressure washing, soft washing and exterior cleaning businesses can be attractive to buyers because start-up costs are modest and demand repeats. That's also why buyers scrutinize what makes yours more than a truck and a wand.
What buyers look for
What makes a pressure washing & exterior cleaning business attractive
- Repeat and scheduled customers: HOAs, commercial properties, property managers and annual residential plans
- A recognizable brand, website, phone number and reviews that transfer with the sale
- Rigs, trailers, pumps, tanks and surface cleaners in good working order
- Technicians who can do the work and quote jobs without the owner
- Safe chemical handling and attention to local runoff and stormwater rules
- Insurance history and a clean claims record
Common value killers
What lowers the price, or stalls the deal
- A one-person operation where the owner does every job
- Revenue mostly from one-time jobs, with no repeat schedule
- Phone number, website or review profiles registered to the owner personally
- Cash jobs not reflected on tax returns
- Damage claims or disputes without documentation
Make sure your business name, phone number, domain and online review profiles are owned by the business, so they can transfer to a buyer.
