🧠 Valuation Insight: Recurring Revenue ≠ Recurring Value

 🪳 Pest control companies look attractive on paper—recurring contracts, steady demand—but valuations still fail when:

  • Routes are owner-run and not transferable
  • Addbacks include personal vehicle or phone tied to service delivery
  • Contract terms are month-to-month or verbal
  • CapEx for trucks and sprayers is ignored
  • Limited or no cash flow despite recurring revenue

šŸ“Œ Recurring revenue only helps if the infrastructure is transferable, too.
