About this listen

Private equity is flooding roofing but not every buyer is legit. Tim Brown sits down with John Bartlett (Founder, Brentwood Growth) to break down 7 reasons real buyers won’t buy your roofing company and exactly how to fix them: W-2 vs 1099, accrual accounting, owner dependency, dirty books/add-backs, family on payroll, tax return mismatches, and revenue mix (retail vs storm/new construction). Get the playbook to increase multiples and run a clean, sellable (or simply more profitable) company.
