How Pool Route Valuation Works
Understanding what your pool route is worth is the first step toward a successful sale. Here is how the process works.
Value Drivers
What determines your route's value?
Monthly Revenue
Consistent monthly revenue is the strongest value driver. Routes with stable, recurring income from loyal customers command the highest multiples.
Account Quality
Account count, retention history, average service value, and account density all factor into the overall quality and attractiveness of a route.
Market & Terms
Local market demand, service area geography, route efficiency, and the terms of any existing customer agreements affect valuation.
The revenue multiplier approach
Most pool routes are valued as a multiple of their monthly revenue. The typical range falls between 10x and 14x monthly revenue, depending on factors like account quality, geographic density, customer retention, and market demand.
