GOOD HOPE ADVISORS
Josh Gladtke
M&A Advisor to trades and contractor business owners thinking about what comes next — whether that's selling, taking on a partner, or simply understanding what their business is worth.
WHAT I DO
Most conversations start the same way.
"I'm not sure I want to sell yet, but I want to understand my options."That's the right place to start. I help business owners think through what their company is worth, whether now is the right time to sell, what private equity interest really means, and how a process would work — before committing to anything. No pressure to run a process. Just clear, honest conversations so you can make a good decision.
WHO I WORK WITH
Trades and contractor businesses.
Trades and contractor businesses — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, landscaping, and property services. Whether you're the original founder or a second-generation owner, if you're running a business doing $5M–$150M and thinking about what comes next, that's who I work with.
HOW I THINK ABOUT IT
Selling a business isn't just a financial decision.
Timing, structure, the type of buyer, and what happens after the deal all matter just as much as price. Most owners only go through this once. My job is to help you think through it clearly — before you make any decisions.
START HERE
Questions most owners start with.
What is my business worth? Should I sell now or wait? Why am I getting calls from private equity? What actually happens in a sale process?These are the right questions. I've written straightforward answers to each one — no banker talk, no pitch.
LET'S TALK
No process. No commitment.
If you're thinking about it — even loosely — I'm happy to have a conversation. Most owners just want to understand their options before making any decisions. That's exactly where I can help.
