02 From Wild West to the Age of Consolidation

The buying and selling service businesses have undergone a massive transformation in the last 20 years. Where once businesses were bought and sold for pennies on the dollar, today there are serious buyers with deep pockets creating opportunities to build and then exit a service business with a lucrative return. 

Tony, built his business during the wild west days, acquired 21 companies in a span of 20 years, and has seen that world change dramatically from a first hand perspective. This journey culminated when he and his brother sold their $7M service business to a private equity group. After going through this transition in his own business Tony stepped into the role of helping other entrepreneurs through their journey of exiting a business. 

In today's episode, we are going to talk about that journey, what it was like, and the world of service business acquisitions today to set the stage for the next episodes where we will dive into several aspects of what it takes to successfully exit your service business.
