Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about acquiring this pool service route.
Q1: What exactly am I buying?
You are purchasing the business assets of an established pool service route. This includes the complete client portfolio (20 accounts with contracts and service histories), the operational system (route maps, schedules, procedures), and a transition plan. You will service these clients under your own company name, insurance, and branding.
Q2: Are you using a broker? Is this route being sold to a large corporate buyer?
No. I am selling directly to an independent owner-operator. No brokers, no corporate consolidators—just a clean asset transfer to an independent operator.
Q3: What is the financial performance?
The route generates over $57,466 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) with ~84% gross margins, producing an estimated Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of ~$89,500 for an owner-operator. Full financials are provided under NDA.
Q4: What immediate revenue can I expect after closing?
A: Within the first 30 days, $3,000 in scheduled filter cleaning revenue is already on the books. These 18 clients have annual cleanings performed like clockwork—they expect it, they trust it, and the work is ready to bill. This is immediate cash flow that requires no ramp-up or sales effort.
Q5: Are there additional filter cleanings beyond this?
A: Yes. This $3,000 represents only the work due within the first 30 days. Additional filter cleaning revenue exists for other accounts later in the year, but this figure focuses on what is immediately billable upon transfer.
Q6: What is the asking price and valuation?
The route is priced aggressively for a quick sale. The specific figure and detailed financials are provided to qualified buyers under NDA.
Q7: Is training or support included?
Yes. The sale includes a structured transition period for route familiarization and access to all operational documentation. We will thoroughly train those new to the industry for as much time as necessary.
Q8: Are the vehicle and equipment included?
No. This is an asset sale of the client portfolio and operating system. The seller’s truck and equipment are not included but can potentially be negotiated separately.
Q9: What are the terms of the sale?
An all-cash sale at closing is preferred.
Q10: How are the clients transitioned?
Upon closing, the seller will facilitate a warm introduction to the client portfolio, ensuring a smooth handover and high retention rate. All client contact information and service details are provided.
