There are five services here, and they are not a menu to order from at random. Each one answers the question that blocks a boiler company at a particular stage. Pick by stage, not by what sounds most exciting.
-
Boiler start-up business plans
A written plan for your first two years: service area, pricing assumptions, opening parts stock, hiring order and a marketing budget you can defend.
-
Buy-side customer and marketing review
Before you buy a boiler company, find out what the customer list, agreement book, phone number and online presence are really worth to you.
-
Hydronic technician recruiting
Job pages, recruiting ads and a training path that make a good hydronic tech want to work for a young company.
-
Service-agreement base building
Design, launch and market an annual boiler care plan so that winter work stops being your only source of revenue.
-
First-year marketing plan
A month-by-month plan for a new or newly bought boiler company: website, Google Business Profile, reviews and paid search, in the right order.
Boiler start-up business plans
Choose this if you are opening a boiler or hydronic service company and have not taken your first paying call. The plan answers the questions that decide whether year one works: which towns you can reach profitably, what you charge, what sits on the van shelf, when you hire, and what you spend to get found.
It is a working document, not a binder for the shelf. You use it to say no to the wrong jobs and to check, each month, whether the numbers you guessed are holding. See boiler start-up business plans for what is included.
Buy-side customer and marketing review
Choose this if you are about to buy an existing boiler company, or a book of boiler customers from a retiring owner. The price usually reflects the customer list, the agreement book and the reputation. We test those three things from the outside and, with the seller's permission, from the inside.
You get a written view of how many customers are active, how dependent the phone is on the seller personally, and what has to be transferred: domain, phone number, Google Business Profile, review history. Valuation and deal terms are not ours to give; for that, the group's BizSell.ca team is the right call. Details are on the buy-side review page.
Hydronic technician recruiting
Choose this if the owner is still running most service calls and the phone rings more than you can answer. A young boiler company competes for technicians against bigger mechanical firms with pensions and new trucks. The way to win is a clear offer, a visible training path and a recruiting page that sounds like a real workplace.
The technician recruiting service covers job pages, recruiting ads, referral programs and a training ladder from apprentice to lead.
Service-agreement base building
Choose this if your revenue drops off a cliff every spring. An annual boiler care plan turns a seasonal trade into a business with predictable work in the shoulder months. It also makes your company worth more if you ever sell, because recurring customers are what a buyer pays for.
We design the plan tiers with you, write the sales scripts and the renewal sequence, and market the plan to every customer you have touched. See service-agreement base building.
First-year marketing plan
Choose this once you know your service area and your prices. A new boiler company has no reviews, no search history and no referrals. The first-year marketing plan sequences the work: Google Business Profile and a small, fast website first, then reviews from your first customers, then paid search aimed at the boiler jobs you actually want.
What none of the services include
None of them includes licensed boiler work, valuation, legal, tax or lending advice. Those belong to your licensed staff and your professional advisers.
How the services fit together
A typical sequence for a founder is: business plan, then first-year marketing, then agreement launch in the first autumn, then recruiting once the owner's calendar is full. A buyer starts with the review, then moves straight into a transition version of the first-year plan. An established owner usually starts with recruiting or agreements.
| Stage | First | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founder | Business plan | First-year marketing | Agreement launch |
| Buyer | Buy-side review | First-year marketing (transition) | Agreement relaunch |
| Scaling owner | Technician recruiting | Agreement base | Marketing expansion |
Prices for the monthly marketing plans are on the pricing page. Planning and review work is quoted in writing. If you are not sure where you fit, the guides are a good place to think it through first.
Frequently asked questions
Which service should I buy first?
It depends on your stage. Founders usually start with the business plan, buyers with the buy-side review, and established owners with recruiting or the agreement launch. The first-year marketing plan follows all three.
Can I buy just one service?
Yes. The planning and review work is quoted on its own, in writing. The ongoing marketing runs on the monthly plans shown on the pricing page.
Do any of these services include licensed boiler work?
No. We are a marketing and business consulting service and not a contractor. Installation, repair, gas work and inspections stay with you and your licensed technicians.
Do you write the financial projections a bank wants?
We write the market, marketing and operating sections and the assumptions behind revenue. Your accountant should build and sign off the financial statements, and lending questions go to your lender.
