About this episode
What would someone actually pay for your pool company? It might be a very different number than you think.
On this episode of the Pool Magazine Podcast, Joe Trusty sits down with Kris Wiig, CEO of Weld Valuations, to explore how buyers evaluate swimming pool businesses, why owners frequently overestimate their company's value, and what separates a profitable operation from a truly valuable business.
From recurring service revenue and route density to EBITDA, owner dependence, and financial documentation, Kris breaks down the factors that influence what buyers are willing to pay. We also discuss why pool builders who expand into maintenance, repairs, and renovations may be better positioned for a future sale, and how even successful companies can fall short of an owner's retirement expectations.
Whether you're running a small service route, managing a multimillion-dollar construction company, or considering an eventual exit, this conversation offers valuable insight into building a business that buyers will want to acquire.
