Episode notes
Franchise Positioned In Growing Aging-In-Place Market
- The business sells, installs, rents, and services mobility equipment across three locations with $4.95M revenue and $840K SDE.
- It benefits from aging-in-place tailwinds and a franchise system supporting operations and purchasing power.
Get Revenue Mix Before Valuation
- Ask the seller to break out revenue by product, installation, rental, and service before proceeding.
- Use that split to assess whether cash is project-based or recurring and how that affects valuation.
Home Installs Tend To Be Project Heavy
- Home mobility installs often look like one-time projects with limited ongoing maintenance compared to commercial elevator markets.
- That reduces predictable recurring revenue and changes cashflow dynamics for buyers.
