About this webinar

Thinking about selling your trades business one day? Now’s the time to get exit-ready. Join former Foster Plumbing CEO Amy Carnrick and Investment Banker Blake Nielsen of Black Iron Advisers for an actionable session on preparing your business for sale and maximizing valuation.

Amy will share what she learned while selling her own trades business—what worked, what she’d change today, and the systems that made the biggest difference.

Blake will provide the investment banker’s perspective on valuation, buyer expectations, market trends, and the common pitfalls that can cost business owners money during a sale.

Whether a sale is on your near-term horizon or part of a long-term plan, this discussion will give you clarity, confidence, and practical steps you can start implementing now.

What you'll learn

  • The dos and don’ts of preparing your trades business for sale
  • The value drivers buyers and bankers care about most
  • How operational maturity and systems (like Simpro) increase business value
  • Actionable steps to start your exit planning journey today
