Running the Business He Talks About: Taylor Klemm on Owning Three Home-Service Brands

Taylor Klemm speaks publicly about entrepreneurship and business ownership. He also owns three home-service brands, and he stays involved in the same daily work he describes.

Taylor Klemm wants the advice he gives about business ownership to come from the work itself. He owns three home-service brands, and he describes that ownership as “direct, ongoing experience with the realities of operating businesses.”

His list of daily concerns matches any local owner’s: customer acquisition and sales, hiring, managing teams, developing systems and working through operational challenges. Klemm stays involved in all of it. Those are the same fundamentals he discusses when he speaks publicly about ownership.

A different scale, the same discipline

Klemm reached home services after a long run at institutional scale. He oversaw nearly $5 billion in real estate development projects in leadership roles at major private organizations, and he held leadership positions within multibillion-dollar public and private companies. He also co-founded a company that raised more than $50 million before he sold his ownership interests.

In his 30s he made a deliberate move into owning home-service businesses. He brought the operational discipline, financial expertise and strategic thinking from his earlier career with him. A local service company and a multibillion-dollar portfolio differ in size, but Klemm believes the fundamentals transfer between them: leadership, financial discipline, strong systems and consistent execution.

Quality as the measure

In 2026 the Consumer Ratings Institute recognized Klemm as “Top 1%.” He connects the recognition to “a commitment to delivering quality and customer satisfaction within the home-service industry.” Klemm lists good customer service alongside strong systems and disciplined execution as the things that create value in ordinary industries.

The lessons that come from operating

As an operator, Klemm has taken setbacks along with the wins. He counts difficult decisions and unexpected challenges among them, and he draws on those moments when he works with clients.

“A significant part of what I teach my clients comes from those experiences, not just how to build and grow a business, but how to handle adversity, make difficult decisions, and navigate the inevitable challenges of business ownership.”

That operating experience led him to found Buy Low USA, which helps individuals launch and own home-service businesses under their own brands. Klemm and his team built its model from the systems, processes and infrastructure they developed in real operations, and customers keep ownership and control of what they build.

Credibility through practice

Klemm does not want to be known as an influencer or a motivational speaker. He wants recognition as an entrepreneur who has built real companies, worked through both successes and setbacks, and can offer practical insight to people who want to do the same.

He plans to stay in the work. Over the next several years, Klemm intends to keep building and investing in businesses, pursue new opportunities and share what he learns along the way with aspiring owners.
