What Environmental & Facilities Services owners need to watch before an exit

  • Open permits or environmental liabilities
  • High labor turnover
  • Short-term or verbal contracts
  • A few large accounts carrying the business

Environmental & Facilities Services exit planning questions

How are facilities services companies valued?
