If you own a pool service route, you may be wondering when is the best time to sell your business. If you are nearing retirement or simply wish to start a new business venture selling your pool route could be a great option in the current market.

Is There A Good Time Of Year To Sell?
Pool routes can be sold any time of the year and are independent of seasonal surges. The most important thing to remember is to organize your business and get everything in order before place it on the market for sale. Think about transitions of power, training new owners, maintaining current service schedules, and other essential aspects of the business affected by the business’s sale. You may choose to time your deal with a slower time of the season to better conduct its transition for your clients and the new owner.
