We Help Owners in the Trades Build Businesses Worth Buying.
Crusader Consulting provides exit planning and business coaching for owners of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, mechanical, and home service companies across the United States.
Make Sure the Owner Gets Paid for What They Built.
Most owners in the trades spend decades building a company and only a few months preparing to sell it. Buyers notice. They discount owner dependence, messy books, and revenue that walks out the door with the founder. Our job is to close that gap before it costs you, so that when you sell, step back, or hand it down, the price reflects the business you actually built.
WHO WE SERVE
Owners of trades and home service companies, especially businesses with $1M+ in EBITDA that want to break through to $5M+.
WHAT WE DO
Business coaching for owners building value, and exit planning for owners one to five years from a sale or transition.
WHERE WE WORK
Owners across the United States. Most of our work happens in focused working sessions by video and phone.
We Fight for the Owner.
A crusader takes up a cause and sees it through. Ours is simple: owners who built something real deserve a fair price, a clean exit, and a say in what happens next. That means telling you the truth about your business, even when it is not what you hoped to hear, and staying with you until the work is done.
THE TRUTH FIRST
We look at your company the way a buyer will and tell you what we see. Honest numbers are where every good plan starts.
YOUR TERMS
Some owners want to sell soon. Others want to build for a decade. The plan fits your goals, not the other way around.
NO DEAL TO PUSH
Our only job is helping you build value and make the right decision for you and your family.
Practical Work, Measured Results.
START WITH THE NUMBERS
Every engagement begins with where you stand today: your score, your value drivers, and a realistic valuation range.
BUILD WHAT BUYERS PAY FOR
Recurring revenue, a team that runs without you, clean financials, and a growth story a buyer can believe.
BRING THE RIGHT TEAM
When it is time to go to market, we bring in the right bankers, CPAs, and attorneys and stay with you to the closing table.
