The biggest deal of your life deserves someone who's done this before

Guiding trades and field service owners through the biggest decision of their business — with the right buyer/investor and the right plan 

Your partners at the deal table

If you've built a strong business, you're probably getting calls. Private equity groups. Strategic buyers. Brokers. Everybody wants to know if you've thought about selling.

Here's what we see over and over: founders feel pressure to engage before they've asked themselves the right questions. Am I actually ready to sell? What's this business really worth? What happens to my team? Do I step away now, or keep building?

This isn't just a financial decision — it's a personal one. And without a clear plan, it's easy to move too fast, misread what a buyer actually wants, or leave money on the table. 

Experience matters when the stakes are high

At 3PG, we’ve spent decades working in the field services and skilled trades industries and at the deal table with sellers, buyers, and investors. We understand how these transactions work, what drives value, and where issues tend to surface.

How we help you navigate what comes next

Every owner’s situation is different. Some are ready to sell. Others want to grow, bring in a partner, or plan a transition over time.

3PG will help you understand your options, prepare for what’s ahead, and make decisions that align with your goals.

“During our search for growth capital, we interviewed several advisory firms besides 3PG. It was clear that 3PG wanted what was best for us and I knew they would fight for me and have my back. They exceeded our expectations. ”
