SolhverBUSINESS STUDY
Operational clarity after acquisition

You’ve bought the business.
What will it take to make it work?

The deal is closed. Now you need to understand how the business actually runs. Solhver studies the people, processes and systems behind the numbers so you can identify operational risks, protect critical knowledge and plan what happens next.

The risk between the reports

You own the business.
Make the operation visible.

Acquiring an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, doors, or fire and life safety business means inheriting the way people work. Financial reports alone may not explain how jobs move, how decisions get made, or why the team depends on the owner.

Knowledge that walks out

If key people leave, will anyone know the exceptions, customer commitments and unwritten routines that keep delivery moving?

Systems that miss the story

What happens between the service call, the completed job and the invoice? Where does the operational context disappear?

A transition with no clear order

Which changes are essential now, which can wait, and who will own them while the business continues serving customers?

What the study can uncover

What the reports may have missed.

Selected examples from Solhver’s work show why it pays to understand the operation behind the reports.

$42K

Deferred fleet maintenance

Ten months of suspended maintenance left approximately $42,000 in upfront work to bring the fleet back to service condition.

~$330K

Inventory costs not recorded

Across twelve months examined, unrecorded inventory costs left inventory overstated and costs understated.

~$3M → <$1M

Reported backlog versus remaining work

Fully invoiced jobs were still counted in backlog. Less than $1 million of work remained against approximately $3 million reported.

What Solhver provides

A Business Study.
A clearer starting point for what comes next.

Experienced trades operators study how people, processes and systems connect to the numbers. Your scoped Business Study provides a blueprint of how the operation runs, supported by evidence, written findings and priorities for the decisions ahead.

Discuss the situation

Start with your acquisition or integration stage, operational concerns and the decisions ahead.

Agree the right scope

Determine the operational work needed and whether Solhver is the right fit.

Study the business

Through interviews, observation and review, build an operating record with findings your team can trace and question.

The operating blueprint

Processes, handoffs, exceptions and key-person dependencies that explain how the work happens.

The evidence behind it

Source-linked findings, reviewed by experienced operators and checked with the people doing the work.

Priorities for your decision

Written findings, a risk register and integration sequencing where relevant. Deliverables are agreed to match the engagement.

The initial conversation is to discuss needs and fit. A Business Study is a separately scoped engagement; completing these questions or attending a call does not provide the study. Solhver’s work complements financial diligence and Quality of Earnings; it does not replace them or provide compliance audits or IT security assessments.
