We’re guys just like you.
We work hard.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have people teach us along the way how to grow successful businesses, and how to position them for the next generation. The good news is, that it’s not rocket science. But it is work.
We looked around at our industry and realized that most people that we knew – especially in the trades – don’t have a plan for “what’s next”. And that’s exactly why we started Contractor Succession. We have a passion for helping business owners finish strong, and finish well.
We have one goal.
To help you create a profitable, saleable business. But it has many facets. So we don’t go it alone.
Contractor Succession has assembled a team of experts to work with us in creating profitable succession plans for your business. Our team consists of credentialed lawyers, CPA’s, business brokers, and marketing professionals who are highly experienced in helping owners maximize the value of their business.
Creating a saleable business means looking at every aspect of what you do.
