We're close to an LOI on an HVAC (with a small plumbing component) opportunity in the Midwest and are hoping to speak with industry experts who can help us with a 3-4 week diligence sprint. Specifically, we'd like to circle key questions around: i) service pricing and margins, ii) team/organization, iii) light commercial expansion, iv) building a sales organization, etc. Open to discussing compensation and/or a more formal engagement. Thanks

Hi Peter, my background is management consulting and I have done a lot of M&A and due diligence. I am currently in LOI to purchase a water & fire restoration business that is a part of a national franchise brand. Starting due diligence next week. It would be cool to share ideas and best practices as we go through this process in parallel as I have the exact same questions I am trying to answr. Send me a DM and let's connect. Best, Rob Ruoti
