        Frequently Asked Questions

        Common questions about our services, brands, and how we work.

        We acquire commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and mechanical service businesses with a strong service component. Planned maintenance, breakdown work, and long-term client relationships are a priority. Installation-heavy businesses are considered where they support ongoing service revenue.

        Yes, in most cases we acquire 100% of the business. Partial acquisitions may be considered in specific situations, but our preference is full ownership to allow clean integration and long-term growth.

        We typically look for businesses with: Established revenue and consistent earnings A team of qualified technicians Repeat clients and service contracts Smaller bolt-ons and larger platform acquisitions are both considered.

        Yes. Retaining skilled technicians and key staff is critical. We aim to provide stable employment, strong systems, and long-term career opportunities for your team.

        That’s flexible. Options include: Full exit with a short transition period Staying on in a reduced or advisory role Remaining in an operational or leadership role We structure it based on what works for you.

        It depends on the market and the strength of your brand. In some cases, we retain the existing name. In others, we transition to our group brand over time.

        A typical process: - Initial discussion and high-level review - Financial and operational assessment - Agreement on price and terms (LOI) - Due diligence (financials, clients, systems, assets) - Contract finalisation - Settlement and transition Once terms are agreed, transactions can move quickly—often within a couple of months

        We typically review: - Financials (revenue, EBITDA, margins) - Customer mix (service vs projects) - Staff and structure - Vehicles, equipment, and assets - Systems (CRM, job management, etc.)

        We assess value based on: - Maintainable EBITDA - Quality of revenue (service vs projects) - Customer concentration - Team capability and retention risk - Growth potential Service-heavy businesses with strong recurring income command higher valuations.

        Usually, we require a short transition period to ensure a smooth handover.

        We introduce systems, pricing discipline, and operational structure to improve profitability and scalability. The goal is to strengthen what’s already working—not disrupt it.

        Deals are typically a mix of: - Upfront payment - Deferred payments or earn-outs (where appropriate) Structure depends on risk, performance, and transition involvement.

        All existing customers and contracts are maintained and serviced. Continuity is critical—clients should see improved service, not disruption.

        We move quickly into: - Team alignment - Systems integration - Pricing and margin improvement - Growth initiatives Integration planning starts before settlement to ensure a smooth transition.

        - Faster, more certain transaction - No broker fees - Direct negotiation with a strategic buyer - Continuity for staff and customers - Ability to structure flexible deals

        Yes. HVACR is a licensed HVAC and electrical contractor in Queensland, and a licensed electrical contractor in New South Wales. We can operate the business from day one without relying on the seller’s licence.

        No. We hold the required licences to operate independently. Any transition period is for knowledge transfer only, not compliance.

        No. The goal is a seamless transition. Same service delivery, backed by a licensed contractor with the capacity to support and grow the business.
