What Drives Value

Industrial service companies are valued on the contracts that keep their crews working and their reputation for doing so safely. A skilled, stable workforce is often the core asset.

  • Contract renewals: the term and renewal risk of service agreements
  • Safety record: a track record that many industrial clients require to award work
  • Workforce: access to skilled trades and technicians
  • Customer concentration: reliance on a few large facilities

Minerva's CBVs value industrial service companies for family law matters, tax and estate planning, and transactions.
