Founder-owned residential and commercial pest control operator based in Corpus Christi, TX. Posting on behalf of the seller; CT Strategic Partners is buy-side only.
Financials:
- Revenue: ~$720K (2025), up from ~$660K in 2024
- Historical growth: 12–15% annually, slowed to 8% in 2024
- Recurring revenue: ~100% — 975 customers on monthly subscription for quarterly service
- Margin note: reported margin is depressed by owner running personal expenses through the business (family meals, kids on payroll, fuel cards). True normalized margin is higher.
- Largest customer: under 10% of revenue
- No outstanding debt
Operations:
- Home-based; no commercial real estate or lease overhead
- Service radius ~40 minutes around Corpus Christi (covering Padre Island, Portland, Port Aransas, Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Rockport)
- Sole owner, age 50
- TPCL #809569; certified professionals on staff
Deal context:
- Owner is not actively shopping the business; primary motivation is paying off rental properties and personal residence to fund retirement
- Willing to stay 2+ years post-close — possibly longer — to support transition and customer continuity
- Open on price; explicitly deferring to buyer offer rather than anchoring
- Prefers a clean, fast process; dislikes deals that drag
- Has fielded other inbound interest with valuations he described as "pretty close to what I expected"
Honest flags:
- Reported margin requires normalization; will need clean Q-of-E to underwrite
- Single-MSA footprint (geographic concentration)
- Owner is the primary lead generator and customer relationship; transition needs to address that
- 8% growth in 2024 was below the historical 12–15% trend (owner attributed to election-year spending)
