Why V2

Hear it from owners who've sold.

Matt grew and sold one of the country's leading home remodeling companies. Chad ran a large-scale pest control company for 30+ years before his own exit. They started V2 to give owners the advice they wish they'd had.

The exit, step by step

Seven stages between “I'm thinking about it” and the wire hitting.

01

Decide

Why sell, why now and what you want after. Retire, stay on, or roll equity into something bigger. The answer shapes every step that follows.

From the founders: “The hardest question wasn’t ‘what’s it worth?’ It was ‘what do I want my life to look like after?’ Answer that first.” — Matt

STEP 02

Confidential valuation

What the business is worth today, and what would move the number before you go to market.

Quiet marketing

A targeted, confidential process to the right buyers: strategics, PE platforms and family offices.

STEP 04

Close and beyond

Diligence, terms and close, plus a plan for your people and for your next chapter.

We've lived it

Two founders. Two exits of their own.

Why V2

What owners get with us.

01 / OPERATORS

We've sold our own

Our founders built and exited home service companies. We know the business from the truck, not just the spreadsheet.

02 / FOCUS

Trades only

Home services is all we do, so we know the buyers, the multiples and what moves them.

03 / SELL-SIDE

On your side only

We represent owners, never buyers. No conflicts, no split loyalties.

04 / CONFIDENTIAL

Quiet by default

Your team and customers hear about it when you decide, not before.

05 / WHOLE DEAL

Beyond the price

Terms, earnouts, rollover and your role after close, weighed together.

06 / AFTER

The day after matters

A plan for your people and your next chapter, built in from the start.

Confidential

What's your company worth?

Tell us a little about the business. A founding partner will call you, not a junior analyst. Nothing goes to your team, your customers or buyers.
