Easy Ice is the largest ice machine leasing company in the nation. We are expanding our national platform and would love for you and your team to be part of our organization.
Easy Ice has been in business since 2009, expanding our reach through acquisitions and organic growth. We currently operate in 46 states, with plans to grow our network even more over the next few years. We have great partners with access to capital markets, and we want to put that money to work. In many cases, Easy Ice will continue to employ family members and key employees in various key roles within the organization.
We can also help you determine what improvements will have the greatest impact on the value of your company should you choose to sell in the future.
The value is determined on a case-by-case basis and hinges on several scenarios like the number of units on lease, the proximity of the accounts, the age of the equipment, the condition of the equipment, is real estate or other heavy assets involved or not, and more. We would love the opportunity to review your business at a very high level and offer a range that's specific to you and the business you've worked so hard to build.
The calculator below helps you identify the most common criteria for estimating the value of your business. Feel free to use it to give you a general idea—but it is not necessarily indicative of what YOUR business is worth. Contact us here for a more accurate quote.

How do we keep this confidential
throughout the process?
We take confidentiality very seriously. Customers, employees, competition, and more can all be affected if word gets out too soon. It is in all of our best interests to keep this as quiet as possible until the transaction occurs.
The process normally takes at least 60 days to close as long as we receive the information in a timely manner. Here is a brief view at the process:
- Introductions and brief conversation on your business.
- Create and execute a confidentiality agreement (CA or NDA) that protects both parties and allows the sharing of information.
- Capture Phase I due diligence items (P&Ls, tax returns, number of machines, types of machines, general geography, etc.).
- Evaluate the opportunity and agree on a range of purchase price.
- Easy Ice issues a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase your business.
- Start Phase II due diligence which involves more than just the few items mentioned above, but we DO NOT start this until we agree on the basic deal terms.
- Negotiate the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) which includes all the assets utilized in the business (there may be some personal items that do not come with the sale). Stock Purchase Agreements (SPA) are possible but not common as they are much more complicated.
- Negotiate any applicable leases if there is property involved that we do not purchase.
- Schedule close date.
- Start integration Day 1. We have a fulsome integration process (100-day plan) that involves all aspects of the business, so we minimize mistakes once the transaction is complete.
