We help trade business owners sell up - the right way
Most people who build a plumbing firm, a cleaning company or a construction business never get told what it's really worth, or how to sell it without the wheels coming off. We built ContractorExit to fix that.
Why we exist
A trade business is often the biggest asset its owner will ever sell, and the hardest to sell well. The numbers are messy, the name has to stay quiet, and the right buyer is hard to find. So most owners either never sell, or take a fraction of what the business is worth.
ContractorExit makes it simple. You list in minutes, see a free ballpark valuation, and we connect you with vetted brokers and lawyers who handle the sale properly. For buyers, it's the cleanest way to find a real, established trade business to take on.
Who it's for
Every blue-collar and trade business - plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cleaning, carpentry, construction, general contracting, landscaping, roofing, painting, flooring, pest control and more. If you do honest work with your hands and a good team, there's a buyer for what you built.
We operate across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, and we're growing.
What we stand for
Vetted brokers and lawyers
We connect you with experienced business brokers and solicitors from our network - the professionals who handle the sale properly.
Your details stay private
Listings are blind. We never publish your business name, so your staff, customers and competitors are protected while you sell.
No upfront cost to list
Listing your business and getting a ballpark valuation is free. You only deal with fees when you choose to work with a broker.
