2.7x Home-Services Licensing & Software Platform with 64% Margin
Deal ID: SNEB83
Overview
Founded in 2019, this fully remote, capital-light licensing and proprietary software platform serves the home-services industry. It licenses two brands (local moving and junk removal), its multi-brand CRM, dispatch and marketing software, training and vendor network to independent operators across the U.S. and Canada. Operators pay a flat fee instead of a 6-18% royalty. With 23 U.S. positions signed since 2025, a 64.8% SDE margin and owner time of 5-8 hrs/week, it runs lean with one sales employee.

Growth Opportunities
The biggest lever is collecting the recurring base: $299/month platform fees and optional services are under-collected today, and 20 signed U.S. positions have yet to launch, each switching on installment and platform income. Management projects about $9K/month combined recurring revenue as financed licensees go live. Lead flow can grow through untested marketplace email blasts and new channels, while planned add-on modules and new home-services verticals extend the platform. A 6-month transition and a 10% seller note are offered.
Exit Advisor Takeaway
At 2.7x tax-return SDE, the entry price is low for a high-margin, near-passive software and licensing model, and it is SBA 7(a) eligible with all debt cleared at close. About $408K of contracted financed balances and a launch pipeline of 20 positions add upside beyond the base. Buyers should weigh the lower 2026 pace, reliance on one-time license fees and a franchise-law review, but a $33B+ U.S. moving and junk removal market and a no-royalty model give a disciplined operator a clear path to recurring income.
This deal requires a 2% buy-side fee (contingent)
