Civil Engineering Firm with 100% Municipal Client

Work closely with cities, counties, and special districts to provide
expertise in various aspects of engineering related to water and
wastewater systems. This includes designing, planning, and
implementing infrastructure projects such as water treatment plants,
sewage systems, stormwater management, and other related
facilities. Civil engineering firm focused on waste water and disaster
relief for suffering communities! Roughly 50% of the work they do
comes from infrastructure grants, and 50% comes from referring
engineering firms who lack the expertise in this niche of water and
wastewater management. Their team of 11 consists of 2 Licensed
Engineers, 5 Non-Licensed Engineers, and 4 in administration.
They work out of a 2,600 square foot office space and have the
necessary resources to accommodate their operations effectively.
They primarily serve the Central Valley of California, including clients
in Kern County, Modesto, and Stockton. The current owner has
decided to sell the firm in order to plan for retirement. The current
owner’s responsibilities include general oversight with limited direct
interactions with clients. As part of the transition process, he is
willing to provide a training period of 1-2 years to ensure a smooth
handover of the operation. This will allow the new owners to
familiarize themselves with the business operations, client base, and
ongoing projects. In addition to the 1–2-year training period, the
seller has offered to carry 25% of the purchase price via seller
financing and an equity roll.
Priced at $7,050,000, this business is primed and ready for a new
owner to step in and enjoy a reputation that has been built over the
last 10 years. The current owner provides light oversight, handling
hiring processes, and managing invoicing. These responsibilities can
be absorbed by the existing staff or delegated to new hires as the
business transitions to new ownership. One of the growth
opportunities lies in outsourcing the grant writing. With an increasing
demand for infrastructure development and maintenance, there is
significant potential for expansion in their area.
