Lexbury Liberty › What we buy › Water treatment

Arizona runs on water you keep working.

Industrial water treatment, conservation and reuse companies solve a problem every Arizona business takes seriously. If you own one and you're ready to step away, we'll buy it ourselves, keep your technicians, and close in under six months.

What we buy

What we look for in water treatment.

Established Arizona companies with $1M to $3M in annual EBITDA, trained technicians and long-standing customers. Contracted service and consumables are the core; equipment sales and installs alongside them are fine.

What drives value

What we pay for, and what holds a price back.

We'd rather tell you up front than surprise you at the offer. Here's how we look at a business like yours.

Adds value

Service contractsScheduled treatment, testing and monitoring that renews every year.
Recurring consumablesChemicals, filters and media that customers buy again and again.
Know-how in the teamTrained technicians and written procedures, so the expertise doesn't sit with one person.
Long customer relationshipsPlants and facilities that have trusted you with their systems for years.

Can hold it back

Know-how only in your headIf you're the only one who can diagnose a system, we plan that handover first.
One or two large customersA big account is great until it's most of the business.
Mostly one-off equipment salesProject sales are lumpier than service and supply.
Records that are hard to findTesting and compliance records matter to customers, and to a buyer.

None of these is a deal-breaker. Most owners have at least one. We'll tell you which apply to your business, and what they mean for the price, before you commit to anything.

Try it

How does your revenue split?

Move the slider to roughly match your business: contracted service and consumables on one side, one-off equipment sales and installs on the other. It's a rough guide, not a valuation. Nothing is saved or sent.

The questions specific to your business.

Will my technicians stay?

That's our plan. We keep teams intact, and your technicians are a large part of what we're buying. When the deal closes, we usually announce it together, so they hear it from you first.

My customers rely on me personally. How does that work?

It's common in technical businesses. We plan the introductions with you, so customers meet the people who'll look after them before you step back. How long that takes, we'll agree up front.

Will you keep my company name?

Yes. Your customers know the name on the service reports, and it's part of what we're buying. We keep it, along with your technicians and your service schedule.

Will my key stakeholders find out?

Not until you're ready. The visit is arranged so we look like a client, supplier or advisor, and your financials stay under NDA. Where a key supplier or major customer is essential to the business, we may need to speak with them before closing to make sure the relationship carries over. That happens late, only with your agreement, and usually with you in the room. Everyone else hears when you decide.

Same six steps. Under six months.

One conversation, a discreet visit, a confidential review, a fair offer, the paperwork, and closing.
