LB Capital is an “operator-first” private equity firm founded by Lance Bachmann. Unlike traditional firms that only provide capital, we partner with home-service businesses (HVAC, roofing, plumbing, etc.) to implement world-class systems, leadership, and marketing to drive aggressive growth and enterprise value.
Lance Bachmann is a seasoned entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple multi-million dollar companies, including 1SEO and various home-service brands. He is the author of ALL IN and the creator of the “Build It To Sell It” framework.
We specialize in the home-services and “blue-collar” trades sector, including roofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, and electrical services.
It is a business philosophy and operational roadmap designed to transition an owner from being a “worker” in the business to a “shareholder.” The framework focuses on building systems and leadership so the company can operate—and remain highly valuable—without the owner’s daily involvement.

The Winner’s Circle is an intensive coaching program where owners get direct access to the systems and leadership strategies used by top-performing brands. It focuses on KPIs, financial literacy, and scaling operations.
Shop Tours are VIP experiences where owners can walk the floors of successful partner companies. You see the actual systems, software, and team structures in action rather than just hearing about them in a classroom setting.
The Mastermind is a peer-to-peer group of high-performing business owners. It is designed for those who want to compare notes, solve real-time problems, and hold each other accountable to aggressive growth goals.
Any roofing or home-service company owner, sales manager, or operator who is tired of plateauing and wants a concrete plan to increase their company’s EBITDA and market value.
A business without systems is a “job” owned by the founder. Systems make your business predictable, scalable, and—most importantly—sellable. Without them, your business value drops significantly because it cannot survive without you.
We implement “A-Player” recruitment frameworks and performance-based compensation models. We help you move away from the “standard” pay scale to incentives that attract and keep high-performers.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are the vitals of your business. We help you identify and track the metrics that actually move the needle—like customer acquisition cost, technician efficiency, and net profit margins—so you can make decisions based on data, not feelings.
While some operational efficiencies (like lead handling) can be improved almost immediately, building a truly “sellable” asset typically takes 12 to 36 months of disciplined system implementation.
Yes. The best time to “Build It To Sell It” is years before you actually want to exit. Building a sellable company simply means building a better company. Even if you never sell, you will have a more profitable, less stressful business.
Valuation is typically based on a multiple of your EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization). We focus on increasing both your earnings and the “multiple” by proving your business can run without you.
It is a podcast hosted by Lance Bachmann featuring industry leaders and private equity experts. It provides free education on how to scale and protect your business for an eventual high-value exit.
The first step is to Book a Call with Lance or attend an upcoming Mastermind or Shop Tour to see if our operational philosophy aligns with your long-term goals.
