Contracting is a people business. We place tremendous focus on making sure that, during and after the acquisition process, you and your people are treated fairly. When the most valuable assets of your business walk out the door every night, it is critical that they are comfortable that their contributions will continue to be recognized, and that opportunities for growth and advancement are still intact after the acquisition.



The Acquisition Process

IBP has closed over 50 contractor business acquisitions in the last ten years. As a result, we recognize your challenge of operating the business and, at the same time, working through a sale. We respect your time and the requirement for the utmost confidentiality throughout the entire process.

In general, here are the key steps.

  • based on your goals, agree upon terms of your involvement in continuing to manage your business,
  • mutually agree upon a fair valuation of your business subject to due diligence,
  • jointly plan how to develop attractive opportunities for your key employees,
  • complete due diligence between 45 and 120 days, and
  • finalize a purchase agreement that is fair and as simple as possible.

After the Acquisition

Our goal after the acquisition is to enable your company to continue doing what it does best - operate the business and serve your customers in your own local market. As you transition to IBP, we will connect your administrative function to our Corporate Office as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In addition to providing your business access to the financial and human resources it needs to continue to grow, IBP's Corporate Office provides

  • safety consulting, insurance, workers compensation and claims management,
  • information technology support,
  • payroll processing, payroll tax filings and withholdings,
  • accounting and financial statement preparation,
  • cash management services,
  • human resource consulting and assistance, and
  • purchasing assistance for material, vehicles and supplies.
