I’d greatly appreciate insights from experts or operators in this field regarding:
Contract Acquisition:
How are installation and maintenance contracts typically secured?
What are the key factors that differentiate successful players in this market?
Contract Management:
What does a typical maintenance contract entail?
Are these contracts long-term and recurring, or is revenue heavily reliant on new installations?
Key Risks:
What are the primary risks when acquiring a business of this size in this sector?
Are there any red flags I should watch for, such as dependency on specific clients, outdated technology, or regulatory challenges?
Any advice, anecdotes, or resources would be incredibly helpful as I navigate this process. Thank you in advance for sharing your expertise!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
