## For Utah owners

Chisel buys and partners with essential home-services businesses in Utah — the
trades that homeowners call when something breaks or needs maintaining. The
approach is the same as everywhere else it operates: deal direct with no
brokers, keep the name and the crew, hold for the long term.

## The three structures

- **Full partnership. A clean handoff, full value.** Sell the business at a fair valuation, keep your team intact, and know the work you built will last. Walk away with certainty — or stay on in whatever role suits you.
- **Majority partnership. Take chips off the table.** Not ready for a full exit? Sell the majority, take real cash out, and stay involved as an owner and advisor — keeping upside in the growth we create together.
- **Growth investment. Capital and a co-pilot.** Want to scale but constrained by capital, systems, or bandwidth? We invest alongside you as a partner — technology, playbooks, and network — while you stay firmly in control.
