An M&A firm built specifically for the trades.
We work exclusively with residential and commercial service businesses. The advice we give reflects how these businesses actually run — because the people behind this firm have built and operated them ourselves.
We work with one kind of client: the operators who own residential and commercial service businesses.
Our background combines investment banking and operating. We've advised strategic companies and private equity sponsors on M&A transactions in private and public markets, and we've also acquired, founded, and continue to run businesses in the trades. That dual experience shapes how we engage with every client.
Most lower-middle-market M&A advisors are generalists, taking on whatever industries land in front of them. We don't. Residential and commercial service businesses are the only sector we cover — and the operating experience we bring to that focus is what most generalist advisors can't match.
Common questions.
- What does Schryver & Co. do?
- Schryver & Co. is an M&A advisory firm focused exclusively on residential and commercial service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, windows & doors, and related trades. We help owners sell, acquirers buy, and operators figure out what their company is worth.
- Who do you work with?
- We work with two types of clients: business owners in the trades who are considering or actively pursuing a sale, and investors — private equity sponsors, strategic acquirers, and independent operators — who are building or expanding platforms in the service sector.
- What size companies do you advise?
- We typically work with companies generating between $5 million and $100 million in annual revenue. Our focus is the lower middle market, where most trade service businesses compete and where specialized M&A advice matters most.
- What industries do you cover?
- We focus on residential and commercial service verticals including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, windows & doors, exterior services, and related home and commercial services. We do not advise in other industries.
- How is Schryver & Co. different from a generalist M&A firm?
- Most lower-middle-market M&A advisors are generalists. We cover only one sector — the trades — and our team combines investment banking experience with direct operating experience in residential and commercial service businesses. We speak the language of the industry because we've worked in it.
- How do I get started?
- The easiest way is to reach out through our contact page. First conversations are no-obligation. We'll be straightforward about whether we can help and what that would look like.
