An HVAC business coach who starts with advertising has the order wrong. It starts with owner dependency: every quote above a threshold routing through one person, and no documented dispatch procedure.

Owner dependency is measurable: % of revenue that touches the owner personally, % of workflows where they're the sole approver, % of top-10 accounts that are "their" relationship. Price the dependency, or inherit the problem.

Seller wants a 5-year stay? Run the 90-day test: score every core workflow red/yellow/green for "runs without the owner." Reds get priced or fixed before close. You're buying a partner, not a business. Structure accordingly.

Listed SDE: $1.3M. Actual SDE at close: $850K. The explanation? "Owner personal challenges." Translation: the business is owner-dependent and you just bought that dependency at a 4x multiple. Price the risk or pay for it later.
