List of UMEP services benefits: Grow Your Legacy, Achieve Financial Security, Be Part of Something Bigger
We Don’t Just Invest in Companies

We Invest in the People Who Lead Them

Strong mechanical, electrical, and plumbing companies are built on relationships, reputation, and relentless hard work. But even the best owners can find themselves stretched thin—spending more time buried in invoices, payroll, and scheduling than leading their teams or growing their business.

The leadership behind United MEP Partners has spent decades in the trenches of the MEP industry and knows these challenges firsthand. They’ve seen talented owners with thriving customer bases hit a ceiling—not for lack of ambition, but for lack of time, systems, and resources to scale sustainably. United MEP was created to change that.

When you partner with United MEP, you don’t just receive capital—you gain shared upside in something bigger. Partner companies retain local ownership and leadership, while also receiving equity in the broader United MEP platform. As the network grows, everyone shares in the collective success.

What Our Partners Say

I’ve known Kenny for probably 15 years. Over the years, he has served as a valuable mentor to me, providing experience that has been crucial for my business ventures. What appealed to me about United MEP Partners is the collaborative growth and shared expertise across specialties. Being part of a larger group provides incentives for the overall success of the companies involved.

John Fleitman
Owner, Total HVAC Solutions

Because of Kenny’s guidance, I’m running a more structured, profitable business without losing the culture and values that matter most to me. He’s not afraid to get into the weeds, ask hard questions, or share lessons learned the hard way. If you’re a contractor or business owner who wants real-world coaching from someone who’s walked the path, Kenny is someone I highly recommend.

Owner
Plumbing Company

Working with Kenny Schultz has been a game‑changer for both me and my business. Kenny doesn’t coach from theory—he coaches from real experience.

Owner
Orlando Based AC Company

Kenny is one of the hardest working and most genuine people I’ve ever met. He leads with strong moral and ethical values, truly cares about the people around him, and sets a standard that motivates others to work harder and do better. That’s a big reason why I chose to partner with United MEP Partners. I wanted to be part of something bigger than just one company a group built on collaboration, shared knowledge, and people who genuinely want to help each other succeed. The support, leadership, and relationships within UMEP create real value for our businesses, our employees, and the customers we serve every day.
