An advice column for HVAC and plumbing contractors counsels that the best way to grow a contracting business is through acquisition, describing two acquisition types (brick-and-mortar vs. phone-line) and the due-diligence process. Thematic commentary on contractor-level consolidation, not a specific deal.

“If you want the most bang for the buck when it comes to growth, you need to get serious about acquisition. Acquiring a company provides the greatest chance that a qualified customer will call you seeking your products and services.”
