Retire From Your Poly Jacking Business — and Keep Getting Paid
Poly jacking businesses lift and stabilize sunken concrete surfaces by injecting expanding polyurethane foam beneath the slab — a fast-growing alternative to full concrete replacement with high margins and strong customer demand.
Why Poly Jacking Business Owners Struggle to Retire
As millions of aging concrete surfaces — driveways, sidewalks, warehouse floors, parking lots — settle and sink, property owners increasingly choose poly jacking over full slab replacement due to lower cost, faster completion, and minimal disruption. The market is growing rapidly and remains fragmented, with most operators still small and owner-run.
Why the Poly Jacking Business Fits Our Model Well
Because this is a technically specialized trade, the transition plan typically includes an extended knowledge transfer period to ensure the new operator and crew are fully trained on equipment operation and material handling.
What We Look At in a Poly Jacking Business
- Equipment condition and capacity of foam injection rigs
- Mix of residential vs. commercial and municipal work
- Recurring commercial relationships with property managers, municipalities, and facility operators
- Brand reputation and review presence in local markets
Typical Financial Profile
Established poly jacking operations commonly generate $600K–$1.8M in revenue with 35–50% owner profit margins — among the highest in the trades, driven by specialized equipment and limited local competition.
What Happens to Your Employees and Customers
Crew training, equipment maintenance protocols, and existing commercial client relationships are treated as the highest priorities in any poly jacking business transition.
Selling Your Poly Jacking Business: Common Questions
How do I sell my Poly Jacking Business?
The most common options are a broker listing, a private equity sale, or a direct retirement partnership like ours. A broker listing can take 12–24 months and costs 10–12% in commissions. Private equity typically requires flipping the business in 3–5 years. We buy directly, transition at your pace, and pay you monthly from the profits instead of a lump sum — no bank, no broker, no auction.
What is my Poly Jacking Business worth?
Most Poly Jacking Businesss are valued at 2–4x their annual owner profit (also called SDE — seller's discretionary earnings). A business generating $200K in annual profit might be worth $400K–$800K. The real question isn't just the number today, but how much you receive in total — and our structure often delivers more over time than a discounted lump-sum sale.
Can I retire from my Poly Jacking Business without using a broker?
Yes. You don't need a broker to retire from your business. We work directly with owners — no listing, no public auction, no commission. The process is completely confidential, which means your employees and customers don't find out you're considering a transition until you decide to tell them.
What happens to my employees when I retire from my Poly Jacking Business?
In our model, your employees keep their jobs. We're not a private equity firm looking to cut costs — your team is what makes the business valuable, and we protect that. Same crew, same roles, same pay. Employee retention is a core part of how we operate.
How long does it take to retire from my Poly Jacking Business?
It varies by business, but most transitions are underway within 60–90 days of agreeing on terms. We take as long as the business actually needs for a clean handoff. Unlike a broker listing that can sit on the market for 1–2 years with no guarantee of closing, our process moves on a schedule that works for your situation.
Is poly jacking the same as mudjacking?
They accomplish the same goal — lifting sunken concrete — but poly jacking uses lightweight expanding polyurethane foam rather than a cement-and-soil slurry. Poly jacking is faster, lighter, and more durable, and commands a premium over traditional mudjacking.
What kind of clients does a poly jacking business serve?
Both residential and commercial. Homeowners represent a large share of leads, but commercial property managers, municipalities, and warehouse operators often generate higher-value and more repeatable projects.
