Our Story
Poolside Business Brokers was founded on a simple insight: the pool route brokerage industry needed operators who truly understood the business from the inside out. After transacting over 1,500 pool service accounts through firsthand buying, selling, and operating experience, we saw the gaps in how traditional brokers operated—generic valuations, impersonal service, and a lack of real understanding about what makes a route valuable.
We started Poolside Business Brokers to bridge that gap. Our team has built and scaled pool service companies from scratch, managed operations, and successfully transitioned routes to new owners. This hands-on experience gives us unique insight into what buyers are really looking for and what sellers need to maximize their exit.
Today, we bring that operator-level expertise to every transaction nationwide. We offer two distinct paths: sell-side brokerage for any size route with hands-on consulting at fair pricing, and buy-side advisory for larger routes (100+ accounts) where we optimize operations and match sellers directly with qualified buyers. After a discovery call, we determine which path maximizes value for your specific situation.
