Texas licensed trades
You built a licensed contracting business. Most owners have no idea what it is worth.
Wild Rose Advisors works with independent Texas trade businesses whose revenue comes from inspection, compliance and contracted service work. Two things, depending on where you are: what the business would sell for today, and what would make that number bigger before you sell it.

Where we work
Each of these is a state-licensed trade where somebody is required to buy the work on a schedule. That is what makes the revenue durable, and it is why these businesses are being acquired.
Fire protection and life safety contractors
Sprinkler, alarm, extinguisher and suppression firms. Inspection work is contracted and code-driven, which is exactly what a buyer pays a multiple for.
What drives value here →Towing companies and vehicle storage facilities
Rotation lists, motor club contracts and impound storage. Operators holding both a tow licence and a storage facility own the most valuable combination in the trade.
What drives value here →Structural pest control businesses
Recurring treatment routes with genuine contracted revenue, in a trade the national platforms have been acquiring continuously for years.
What drives value here →Two ways this usually starts
You are thinking about selling
Maybe this year, maybe in five. The consolidators are buying in Texas right now, and an owner who only talks to the first one that calls has no idea whether the offer is good.
How a sale works →You are not ready yet
Most firms are not. The gap between what a business is worth now and what it would be worth cleaned up is usually larger than a year of profit — and most of it is fixable work, not luck.
What gets fixed →We know these markets because we mapped them
Not a claim about relationships. Texas licenses every one of these trades and publishes the records, so we went and built the lists — who holds which licences, for how long, at what address, and which firms have quietly already been bought.
- Every figure we quote names the public file it came from and the date it was measured.
- We can usually tell you something about your own market that you did not know, on the first call.
- None of it depends on you telling us anything first.
