Practice areas

Practice areas

Every practice below began the same way: the state's complete license file, obtained and measured. 63,250 licensed businesses on record across 13 markets, measured July and August 2026.

Fire protection and life safety contractors

Sprinkler, alarm, extinguisher and suppression contractors. Inspection work is contracted and code-mandated, which is precisely what a buyer pays a multiple for.

The fire & life safety practice

Towing companies and vehicle storage facilities

Rotation lists, motor club contracts and impound storage. Operators holding both a tow license and a storage facility own the most valuable combination in the trade.

Structural pest control businesses

Recurring treatment routes with genuinely contracted revenue, in a trade the national platforms have been acquiring continuously for years.

Air conditioning and refrigeration contractors

Service agreements and replacement work in the most heavily acquired trade in the country. In Texas the buyers arrived years ago; most owners have still not received a credible valuation.

The hvac practice

Electrical contractors

Service, testing and maintenance work riding the same acquisition cycle as HVAC and plumbing, in a trade with nearly fourteen thousand licensed Texas businesses.

The electrical practice

Plumbing companies

Every operating plumbing company in Texas must have a Responsible Master Plumber on the state rolls, which makes this the one trade in which the seller universe is identifiable to the individual.

Independent insurance agencies

Commission books with renewal revenue a buyer can underwrite. We measured the Houston market from the state's own appointment records, agency by agency.

Home health and hospice agencies

Licensed agencies with state-reported client census, in the market where Texas-based buyers are currently acquiring most actively.
