For the business
you have built.
Independent testing and inspection companies often hold their knowledge in people, relationships and records. Those details deserve a place in the sale conversation.
Core focusCommercial testing, inspection and compliance service businesses.
Adjacent workCalibration and nondestructive testing are secondary areas subject to scope review.
Clear boundariesThis is business sale planning. It is not legal advice, a compliance assessment or an accreditation service.
Make the business
as clear as the work.
A useful review looks beyond a headline earnings figure. These are topics to prepare with a human advisor when a real conversation begins.
- Recurring work
- Distinguish scheduled inspections and repeat assignments from project revenue. Explain renewal patterns and customer relationships.
- Technical continuity
- Describe qualified staff, owner responsibilities and relevant accreditation scope. Transferability needs specific review.
- Commercial resilience
- Understand major customer exposure, end-market mix and contract terms alongside the operating history.
- Financial clarity
- Organize financial statements and explain earnings adjustments. EBITDA and owner earnings are different measures.

What happens to the sample choices?
They only change the fictional example shown on this page. This page does not submit or store your selections or create an inquiry. Reset clears the example. Ordinary hosting requests still occur when a website loads.
Which businesses and markets are the initial focus?
The planned marketing focus is established service businesses with $5M+ revenue and $1M+ EBITDA, up to $100M revenue. Initial markets are Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Michigan. These are planning criteria, not an eligibility decision. This sample does not assess any actual business.
Will this tell me what my business is worth?
No. The examples illustrate preparation topics only. A real review would require financial information and human advisor analysis; this page does not calculate a value or recommend a transaction.
Does a sale transfer a license or accreditation?
This page makes no transferability determination. Requirements depend on the activity, jurisdiction, accreditation and transaction. Relevant specialists would need to review the actual circumstances.
