Specialty Services

The U.S. is a services-driven economy, with over 75% of GDP tied to services and more than 80% of the workforce employed in service-related industries. Within this broad landscape, specialized B2B service providers deliver essential, behind-the-scenes functions that keep businesses and institutions running—ranging from logistics and maintenance to compliance, staffing, and testing.

Many of these businesses are founder- or family-owned, built over time through specialized expertise, strong customer relationships, and a commitment to dependable service across a broad mix of resilient end markets such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and industrials. Their recurring revenue, stable cash flow, and exposure to diverse sectors make them especially attractive to investors seeking consistency and scalable growth.

With deep experience advising owners in the Specialized Services sector, our team has successfully represented businesses across a variety of subsectors, including:

  • Diversified Business Services
  • Facilities and Residential Services
  • Industrial Services
  • Distribution, Transportation & Logistics

Whether serving a focused niche or a broad range of industries, we bring the strategic insight and execution experience to help owners achieve the best possible outcome.
