Infrastructure spending and niche positioning drive value
This sector captures companies that operate across traditional sector boundaries: infrastructure businesses benefiting from unprecedented government spending programs, and diversified or niche companies that defy standard classification. In both cases, the valuation logic is the same: recurring revenue, defensible market positions, and scalability determine the premium.

“Technical services companies with scarce certifications are in a different league. We recently saw a fire safety specialist attract 12 serious buyers in three weeks — not because of size, but because of permits nobody else has.”

“In logistics, contract duration is the hidden multiplier. A 3+ year contract base adds 1.0-1.2x to your multiple — not because the revenue is larger, but because buyers can model it. What we see consistently: specialization beats scale. A cold chain specialist at €8M outvalues a generalist at €20M.”

“Services businesses are deeply personal — buyers know that. The ones that prove they can run without the founder consistently attract 30% more serious offers.”
