TradeReins pairs retiring trade-business owners with vetted operators — tradespeople, GMs, ex-military, and high-agency employees ready to step into ownership. If you've run crews, owned a P&L, or built something from the ground up, there's a structured path to ownership waiting for you.

Hands-on trade, field-lead, foreman, GM, or operations-lead background. We vet for evidence you've run crews, owned a P&L, or built a business before — not just capital depth.
Liquid capital from $25K (for sweat-equity / earn-in paths) up to $500K+ for traditional acquisitions. Capital is one input, not the only one.
Ready to move within 6–12 months, or open to a 12–24 month trial-to-equity path through TradeReins' managed workflow. No window-shoppers — we match candidates ready to close.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and adjacent trades. Single state, regional, or mobile-anywhere. Listing-specific — you pick the businesses you want to be considered for.
A vetted pipeline, a structured path to ownership, and zero commission on your end.
Every TradeReins-listed business is pre-screened on financials, license transferability, customer concentration, and owner-dependency. You see real businesses, not aspirational listings.
Many matches run through a structured 90-day trial period with a defined earn-in schedule. You prove the fit, the owner proves the business, ownership transfers without a leap of faith.
Candidates pay nothing to TradeReins. No platform fee, no buyer-side commission, no finder premium. Your price discipline is real — and we align the structure to close.
