The seller is offering up to 50% financing, but the team digs deeper into whether the valuation makes sense given its heavy reliance on project-based income versus more stable maintenance revenue. They explore the impact of compliance-driven demand, the potential of long-term contracts, and what kind of buyer would be best suited for a business like this—concluding that it might be a fit, but only for someone with the right background and connections. Key Highlights: - Breakdown of project vs. maintenance revenue and why it matters - Discussion on market growth due to increased fire regulations - Why seller financing might indicate underlying risk - Considerations for SBA loan structuring in contracting businesses - Who should (and shouldn't) buy this business
