what are you buying?

If you are buying a dentist practice, you are buying the customer and equipment. 

If you are buying a restaurant, you are buying the kitchen, the clientile, the location etc. 

What are you buying for a HVAC company for?  Commercial clients? because there is no residential client base for HVAC.

customer base and brand name

HVAC repair and install for residential. 

80% residential and 20% commercial. 

try to team up with one licensed HVAV guy. It was one tech (and one office worker) company. Tech is retiring

居民客户不值钱吧,商用客户还有点油水。

居民装一个新的系统二十年不回头。

Better to buy insurance agent company instead?

只要价钱好,什么都可以买。

profit multiplier 要低一点就好了。

除非你会,好的都会自己做。不够好的才给别人打工吧。

这个好像一般是一倍到一点五倍的net income.

买到一些客户资源,但后面如果服务不好可能流失。看看网上评价吧。

还有些设备,卡车什么的,适当估值。

我觉得有用。会牵扯到很多相关行业。比如

热水器,炉子,气暖水暖,供油,供气,运输 维护 维修

包括一些房屋修缮,都相关

很有价值,以为雇佣的都是蓝领,和白领技能不同。

需求很稳定。也分散风险

搞反了吧。要是你有设备,技工,价钱再合理。基本就是客户求你
