The skilled trades providing facility services are essential to maintaining the functionality, safety, and efficiency of the built environment. Providers in this sector deliver critical infrastructure solutions for commercial, residential, industrial, and institutional properties—such as electrical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), power management, and roofing.

The skilled trades sector continues to attract strong interest from both private equity investors and strategic buyers, creating a prime opportunity for business owners considering a sale or growth partnership. The essential nature of these services ensures stable, recurring revenue, while the industry’s fragmented landscape presents consolidation opportunities. This dynamic allows owners to unlock significant value while positioning their businesses for long-term success.

Catalyst works with owners of specialized trade businesses that keep buildings running and infrastructure in top shape. These companies often operate behind the scenes but deliver essential, high-margin services that drive long-term value. Whether you’re installing critical systems, managing maintenance contracts, or responding to emergency calls, we understand the operational complexity and investor interest these businesses attract.
