What it takes to join.
Membership is by approval, there is a joining fee, and the number is discussed directly rather than published. Here's everything we can tell you before a conversation.
Three steps.
Described as pressure-free, and meant it — the introductory call is as much about you assessing us.
- 01
Request information
Submit an information request. No commitment, and no sequence of qualification calls before anyone will speak to you plainly.
- 02
Have a conversation
A follow-up discussion and an introductory call. This is where you find out whether the Alliance is a fit for your company — and whether your company is a fit for it.
- 03
Join and get access
On approval you receive a confirmation, the joining fee is settled, and your access to member resources begins.
Why there's no pricing table on this page.
There is a joining fee, settled after approval. Paving Alliance does not publish a membership price list.
That’s not evasion — it’s that a three-tier pricing table would misrepresent what membership involves for a four-crew sealcoating operation versus a company running eight paving crews across two states. We’d only end up re-quoting everyone.
What we’ll commit to: ask, and you get a straight number from someone who has run a paving company — without a sequence of discovery calls first.
Who we’re looking for
- Asphalt and concrete paving contractors, along with related service providers, who operate with integrity
- Companies of all sizes
- Those committed to high-quality workmanship and exceptional customer service
- Owner-led businesses ready to elevate their success through collaboration
Countless paths, one partner.
Membership requires no change to your ownership. But if you want capital or a transition, there's more than one shape it can take.
Full buyouts
For owners ready to exit completely.
Partial equity sales
Take capital off the table while staying in the business.
Strategic partnerships
Structured collaboration without a sale.
Succession and phased exits
Hand over on a timeline that protects the company.
Earn-outs and transition roles
Stay involved through the change.
Or none of them.
Most members never take capital at all.
Paving Alliance provides only the capital you need in exchange for a proportionate equity stake, and does not require 100% ownership of your business. It is not private equity.
If a transition is the real question, here's the honest version.
Selling a paving or construction business doesn't work like selling most other businesses — seasonality and labor make it its own category. What we can tell you before a call:
Confidential by default
Companies exploring a transition are never publicly listed. Your identity stays protected throughout the conversation.
No broker fees
A direct path to a transition conversation, without the commission structure of a traditional business broker.
Employees and brand can stay
Structures exist that let you retain your workforce and preserve the company name you built, if that matters to you.
Realistic timelines
Anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on your goals. Nobody promises a number they can't back up with a process.
Start with your score, not a sales call.
You'll get more out of the conversation if you arrive knowing where your gaps are.
