The Legacy Energy Consulting Business Sale Process: Edition 1 of 7

Tue, 22 Sep 2026 18:47:47 GMT

September 8, 2026

Welcome to our 7-week overview of the business sale process used by Legacy Energy Consulting . Selling a business involves unfamiliar terms, confidential preparation, buyer outreach, due diligence, negotiations, closing logistics, and transition planning. This series is designed to help owners understand the Legacy Energy Consulting process.

A successful transaction depends on more than finding a buyer. It requires experience, judgment, preparation, confidentiality, negotiating leverage, and careful coordination from start to finish.

Legacy Energy Consulting helps protect the seller’s interests at each stage, manages the details that can affect value and closing certainty, and gives owners the guidance they need to make confident decisions while continuing to run the business.

We begin with common terms our clients are likely to hear from us during our process.

APA — Asset Purchase Agreement. The primary agreement used when a buyer purchases selected assets of a business. It defines what transfers, what liabilities are assumed, and the obligations of each party.

CIM — Confidential Information Memorandum. A professional, confidential marketing document shared with qualified buyers after appropriate protections are in place. It presents the company’s story, performance, operations, and growth opportunity at a high level.

Due Diligence. The buyer’s review of the company before closing. Diligence helps confirm the buyer’s understanding of the business and can affect price, structure, closing conditions, and post-closing protections.

EBITDA — Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization. A common measure of operating profitability that buyers often use when discussing valuation.

Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA adjusted for items that may not reflect normal ongoing performance. Because it can influence value, adjustments should be supportable and carefully reviewed.

FMV — Fair Market Value. An estimate of what a business may be worth in a competitive market. Actual transaction value can vary based on buyer interest, strategic fit, structure, and negotiation.

Holdback — A portion of the purchase price set aside after closing to address negotiated risks, adjustments, or obligations. The timing and release terms matter to the seller’s actual proceeds.

LOI — Letter of Intent. A preliminary written offer outlining the major business terms of a proposed transaction. It sets the framework for diligence and final documentation.

NDA — Non-Disclosure Agreement. An agreement signed before sensitive information is shared with a prospective buyer. It helps protect financial, customer, employee, and proprietary information.

Teaser — A short anonymous summary used to introduce the opportunity while protecting the company’s identity until a buyer is qualified and confidentiality protections are in place.

VDR — Virtual Data Room. A secure online repository used to share approved materials with qualified buyers and advisors while maintaining control over confidential information.

“We initially called Chad & Tyler at Legacy Energy Consulting for a business appraisal. That soon led to 17 potential Buyers and initiated NDA's. Mind you, this was in the middle of the heating season and we had a business partner out for severe health issues.

Buckle up, it's quite a journey, knowing what we know now, we would recommend that no one attempt this on their own. Legacy is well worth every penny spent in marketing your business and filtering all communications with the potential Buyers. Chad really kept us grounded and helped with the overwhelming process of document procurement, due-diligence etc. His background in the industry, coupled with past experiences and inner workings of deals of all sizes is truly invaluable. Chad will not overwhelm you with the details further up the timeline/process unnecessarily. As the next phase is approaching, he will then start to prepare you. Communication is tantamount and he was always available to help keep the ball rolling forward. If memory serves correctly, Chad was working two much larger deals after we started the process and we always felt like we were his only client at the time.

Chad & Tyler connected us with the right buyer that was cohesive with regards to employee satisfaction, customer care and safety. Obviously, any family business is close-knit and has emotions tied to employees and customers, so this was paramount to us. All in all, we handed the keys to our business over to a buyer, that realized and appreciated the value in what we had created top to bottom and that is a great feeling in the end. We have since referred Legacy to two other potential clients, because of our amazing experience together. Chad and Tyler truly care and are authentic.”

The first major preparation step is developing the CIM and financial package. These materials introduce the company to qualified buyers, explain why the opportunity is attractive, and organize key information for initial evaluation. The objective is to be clear and credible while protecting confidentiality and avoiding unnecessary disclosure too early.

What the CIM does: The CIM introduces the business in a professional, buyer-ready format. It tells the company's story, summarizes key strengths, and organizes the information buyers need to understand the opportunity at a high level.

What buyers expect: Buyers want enough information to evaluate fit, financial quality, operations, customers, employees, and growth potential. The right presentation builds confidence while avoiding unnecessary disclosure before the buyer is qualified.

Why guidance matters: Preparing the CIM and financial package is key to supporting the company's value story. Legacy Energy Consulting manages that balance so the seller is positioned professionally without giving away sensitive information too early.

Client Testimonial

"Chad and Tyler made up a great team to guide us through the sale process. Chad's many years in the industry and experience in acquisitions from both the sale and purchase side proved to be vital in getting our sale completed, and their communication and organization was always prompt and efficient.

Their understanding and flexibility working through this very challenging and stressful process was exactly what was needed to make it happen and I am confident that using Legacy Energy Consulting was the right decision. We got it done and made a friend in the process and I am now positive that I would not have wanted to handle this sale on my own. They were personal but professional, and really care about finding the best solution for their client."

Once the CIM and financial package are prepared, the business is introduced confidentially to selected potential buyers. This stage is about quality and quantity to create a competitive process: identifying credible buyers, protecting our clients' identity and sensitive information, and managing interest in a controlled process.

Targeted outreach: Legacy Energy Consulting develops a focused buyer universe that may include strategic acquirers, financial buyers, and other qualified parties with a realistic reason to pursue the business.

Confidential process: Buyers receive information in stages, with confidentiality protections and controlled access before more sensitive materials are shared.

Managed communication: Buyer questions, follow-up requests, and advisor coordination are handled through a structured process so our client can remain focused on operating the business.

"When we decided to sell our family business, it was a difficult decision to sell the company that we had spent the last 34 years building. We received exceptional guidance from Chad, Tyler, and the entire Legacy Energy Consulting team. They made the transition smooth and understood the importance of finding the right buyer that aligned with our values regarding customer service and business culture with our employees. We are very pleased to know that our employees, customers, and communities will be in good hands."

After confidential marketing, the goal is to receive formal offers in the form of a Letter of Intent (LOI). The LOI outlines the major business terms and sets the framework for diligence and final documentation, including the proposed purchase price, deal structure, expected timing, and key conditions that must be satisfied before closing.

Although the LOI is not the final purchase agreement, it is a critical stage because price, structure, exclusivity, timing, and many risk-related expectations often become difficult to change later and need to be defined clearly in the LOI. This is also the point where our clients should understand what is binding, what is not binding, and how the buyer's proposed terms may affect leverage as the process moves forward.

A well-managed LOI process helps our clients compare offers beyond headline price and understand the practical impact of structure, timing, contingencies, financing certainty, and post-closing obligations. Two offers with similar prices can produce very different outcomes depending on how the terms are written and how much risk remains with the seller.

Why guidance matters: Legacy Energy Consulting helps our clients evaluate what an LOI really means, protect competitive leverage where possible, and avoid agreeing to terms that create problems later in the process.

Client Testimonial

"Chad and the team at Legacy Energy Consulting made what could have been a grueling, drawn-out process very seamless. From the first day working together they helped explain what to expect, what to do, and how best to do it to ensure the transaction and transition went exactly how we wanted. I can't say enough positive words about the service and care provided by Legacy during this process."

Once an LOI is signed, the buyer begins due diligence, which is often one of the largest and most demanding stages of the entire sale process. For our client, this review can be extensive because buyers evaluate financial performance, customers, gallons sold, tanks, fleet, equipment, employees, safety, environmental matters, systems, contracts, insurance, and regulatory compliance. The purpose is to confirm the buyer's understanding of the business and identify issues that may affect value, structure, or closing.

What our clients should expect: Diligence is a large undertaking, time-sensitive, and often disruptive if it is not organized before requests begin coming in. Buyers will ask for support, clarification, schedules, records, reports, and documentation across many areas of the business, often with follow-up questions as materials are reviewed. The process can feel like running a second business on top of the day-to-day operation, which is why preparation, responsiveness, and disciplined organization are so important.

Why guidance matters: Legacy Energy Consulting helps manage the heavy flow of requests, coordinate responses, organize supporting materials, and keep the process moving while protecting confidentiality and reducing avoidable surprises. Having an experienced team involved helps our clients stay focused on operating the business while ensuring the buyer receives clear, accurate, and timely information.

After the LOI is signed and diligence is underway, the transaction moves into negotiation of the definitive purchase agreement, usually an APA or SPA. This is where business terms become binding legal obligations, closing conditions are finalized, and risk is allocated between buyer and seller.

Key negotiation theme s : The agreement addresses structure, transferred assets and liabilities, purchase price adjustments, representations, disclosure schedules, indemnification, employee matters, consents, closing requirements, and post-closing responsibilities.

Why guidance matters : These decisions can affect taxes, proceeds, liability exposure, employee continuity, and obligations after closing. Legacy Energy Consulting works with our clients' advisors to keep the agreement aligned with their goals and the realities of the transaction.

Client Testimonial

"Chad and Tyler put together a great strategy for taking our company to market and Chad's diligence and organizational skills proved valuable in getting a tough deal done. Their professionalism and experience made us comfortable with the process as a whole and we could have not gotten this deal done without them. We not only made the right decision using Legacy Energy Consultants for marketing our business, but we also made some great friends in the process!"

Closing is the final stage of the sale process, but it is not simply a signature event. It requires coordinated legal, financial, operational, employee, customer, vendor, and transition planning so the business can transfer smoothly and continue serving customers without disruption.

What closing involves: The parties coordinate final documents, funding, asset transfers, working capital and inventory items, permits, employee communication, customer messaging, vendor relationships, systems access, and post-closing obligations.

Why guidance matters: A successful closing protects both the transaction and the business itself. Legacy Energy Consulting helps coordinate the moving parts so our client can complete the sale with confidence and support a smooth transition for employees, customers, and the buyer.

Client Testimonial

"When it was time to sell our family propane company after 40 years Chad and Tyler at Legacy Energy Consulting took me under their wing and treated me like family. To attempt to sell a propane company without a team like Chad and Tyler to guide me through it all would have been my biggest mistake. They have all the needed resources, guidance, expertise and professionalism plus they are always looking out for the greater good of their client."

O’Connell Oil Company

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 00:54:20 GMT

July 2, 2026

Legacy Energy Consulting, a prominent merger and acquisitions consulting firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of O’Connell Oil Company of LeSueur, MN, to Central Farm Service (CFS), headquartered in Truman, MN.

O’Connell Oil Company’s story is deeply woven into the LeSueur, MN, community. Its roots date back to 1961, when brothers Tom and Richard O’Connell carried forward their family’s legacy by purchasing their father JJ’s general store and fuel business, which was first established in the 1930s. What began as a family fuel business grew over the decades into a trusted local provider of fuel, propane, anhydrous ammonia, and dry fertilizer, built on relationships, hard work, and a commitment to serving neighbors. That legacy continued through the next generation as brothers Pat, Mike, and Brandon joined the company in 1979, 1980, and 2005, respectively. The family connection remained strong with Pat’s wife, Rita, also contributing to the business and Mike’s son, Mark, becoming part of the fourth generation involved in carrying the O’Connell name forward.

The O’Connell’s commented “We have spent the last 30+ years building our propane/fuel business and we have known Chad for all of them. When it came time to sell, we knew we could trust Chad to guide us through the difficult and emotional process. Chad, Tyler and Dustin were with us every step of the way and we couldn’t have asked for an easier transition to finding a company we felt could continue our level of customer service. The guidance and knowledge Chad and his team at Legacy have to offer are second to none.”

Chad Pendill, founder and President of Legacy Energy Consulting, commented, “I have known the O’Connell family for 30 years, and it was both an honor and a privilege to help guide them through this important transition. Their business is a true legacy company, built through generations of hard work, family commitment, and service to their community.”

Legacy Energy Consulting delivered comprehensive merger and acquisition services to O’Connell Oil Company. These services encompassed the initial valuation, discreetly marketing the business to potential buyers through an efficient and structured sale process, negotiating the final deal structure, and managing the due diligence process between the seller and the eventual buyer. Chad Pendill, Tyler Pendill and Dustin Shafer managed the transaction. This transaction is the second for Legacy Energy Consulting in 2026, and it’s twenty-ninth since 2020.

How to Determine When It's Time to Sell

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:56:52 GMT

In 2010 I founded Phelan Gas Company, a propane delivery business serving residential and commercial customers across Southern California.

What started as a small operation with one truck and a small bulk plant in Phelan grew steadily over the years into a successful company with over 3,500 loyal customers. I’m proud of what we built—a reliable, customer-first business rooted in community and hard work.

By the mid-2020s, organic growth had naturally slowed. We had captured a significant share of our local market, which made further expansion challenging without pursuing acquisitions. I began exploring the idea of buying a small competitor to keep scaling the business.

That’s when I reached out to Legacy Energy Consulting for an independent valuation.

I wanted an objective view of what my company was truly worth before committing more capital and risk to grow the business. Chad and Tyler Pendill handled the valuation, and when he shared the results, the number was eye-opening—far higher than I had anticipated. Suddenly, I had to ask myself a tough question: Was it smarter to invest heavily in an acquisition, or was this the right time to consider selling?

After careful thought, I decided to put Phelan Gas Company on the market.

Several factors influenced my decision:

Operating costs were rising sharply—labor, equipment, and especially insurance.
California’s business environment was becoming increasingly difficult, with regulatory pressures and a heavy litigation landscape that added real risk to owning and operating a propane company.

When I ran the numbers on the ongoing risks versus the opportunity to exit at a strong valuation, selling made the most sense.

I entrusted Legacy Energy Consulting with the entire sale process.

Chad and Tyler Pendill marketed the business discreetly, identified qualified buyers, negotiated terms, and guided us through due diligence. The transaction moved efficiently and closed in approximately nine months from start to finish.

Today, I serve as Director of Business Development at Legacy Energy Consulting, where I help other propane business owners navigate valuations, growth strategies, and exits. Looking back, getting that initial valuation was the turning point—it gave me clarity at a critical moment and allowed me to make a strategic decision that aligned with both my personal and professional goals.

If you’re a propane company owner wondering about your options, I highly recommend starting with a professional valuation. It might just change the way you see your future, the way it did for me.

Dustin Shafer, Director of Business Development, Legacy Energy Consulting

Understanding the Market Value of Your Propane Company

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 14:52:11 GMT

Accurately assessing the market value of your propane company is a critical step when considering a sale.

Legacy Energy Consulting has successfully facilitated numerous transactions for propane businesses, often revealing valuations that exceeded owners’ initial expectations.

Chad Pendill, owner of Legacy Energy Consulting, recently shared an illustrative case. A propane company approached Legacy Energy Consulting to request a business valuation for banking purposes, as he was evaluating the acquisition of a local competitor and required an updated valuation of his own business for his financing arrangements.

Upon reviewing the comprehensive valuation prepared by Legacy Energy Consulting, the owner was surprised by his company’s current market value. Following further consultation with Chad Pendill, he chose to pursue the sale of his own company rather than acquire another.

Legacy Energy Consulting managed the project, and within approximately six months, completed the sale at a price consistent with the original valuation that was provided.

Why Experience Matters

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 14:45:34 GMT

Navigating an Extreme Event

Granted, this was an extreme situation, however Chad Pendill owner of Legacy Energy Consulting was able to navigate a successful closing.

This particularly unusual challenge arose for Legacy Energy Consulting when, after two months of marketing the business and finalizing an offer with our preferred buyer, the owner passed away just two weeks after the agreement was signed. This left both our team at Legacy Energy Consulting and his family responsible for completing due diligence and seeing the deal through to a successful closing for the propane business that Legacy Energy Consulting was contracted to sell.

Several factors contributed to successfully closing the sale under such circumstances.

Having a knowledgeable business broker who could guide everyone through complications proved invaluable. Selecting the right buyer also made a significant difference; many prospective buyers might have withdrawn following such a major and potentially disruptive event. Fortunately, our chosen buyer responded with integrity, helping expedite the closing process to bring closure to the family, staff, and customers.

While not every sale is marked by such dramatic hurdles, this case highlights the importance of partnering with an experienced, reputable company like Legacy Energy Consulting when selling your propane business. The industry experience of Chad Pendill really played an important role as Chad had to navigate a variety of emotions from all parties and still bridge the gap between the buyer and the seller during these unfortunate set of circumstances that no one could have planned for.

Frank managed Gatorgas until his passing in June 2023.

Jennifer Anderson of Gatorgas LP commented, “When it was time to sell our family propane company after 40 years Chad and Tyler at Legacy Energy Consulting took me under their wing and treated me like family. To attempt to sell a propane company without a team like Chad and Tyler to guide me through it all would have been my biggest mistake. They have all the needed resources, guidance, expertise and professionalism plus they are always looking out for the greater good of their client.”

Chad Pendill, founder and President of Legacy Energy Consulting, stated, "It was an honor to get to know and work with Jennifer during the challenging period following her father's unexpected passing, and I am confident that we found the right buyer to carry on what the Anderson family has built."

Statement from the Seller:

We started out calling Chad & Tyler at Legacy Energy Consulting for a business appraisal. That soon led to 17 potential Buyers and initiated NDA's. Mind you, this was in the middle of the heating season and we had a business partner out for severe health issues.

Buckle up, it's quite a journey, knowing what we know now, we would recommend that no one attempt this on their own. Legacy is well worth every penny spent in Marketing your Business and filtering all communications with the potential Buyers. Chad really kept us grounded and helped with the overwhelming process of document procurement, due-diligence etc. His background in the industry, coupled with past experiences and inner workings of deals of all sizes is truly invaluable. Chad will not overwhelm you with the details further up the timeline/process unnecessarily. As the next phase is approaching, he will then start to prepare you. Communication is tantamount and he was always available to help keep the ball rolling forward. If memory serves correctly, Chad was working two much larger deals after we started the process and we always felt like we were his only client at the time.

We have since referred Legacy to two other potential clients, because of our amazing experience together. Chad and Tyler truly care and are authentic.

How to Determine When It's Time to Sell

In 2010 I founded Phelan Gas Company, a propane delivery business serving residential and commercial customers across Southern California.

That’s when I reached out to Legacy Energy Consulting for an independent valuation.

After careful thought, I decided to put Phelan Gas Company on the market.

I entrusted Legacy Energy Consulting with the entire sale process.
