Highly Profitable Market Research Firm

This well-known Specialized Market Research Firm provides surveys, brand research and associated thought leadership to corporations, institutes and public sector entities. The firm enjoys a strong reputation and has provided ownership with a comfortable lifestyle business. This business is virtual, allowing ownership to “work where they want”.

The company enjoys a competitive advantage by offering a highly customized client experience and obtaining data from typically hard top reach audiences. They are proven performers in this space which leads to a high percentage of repeat engagements.

It is projected that a new owner will obtain additional growth by expanding the direct marketing and sales efforts with minimal investment. Adding a Business Development Executive would offer additional growth opportunity. The company projects a revenue growth rate under such premise of 20%+ per year.

The company has been fully reviewed and conservatively appraised by an accredited national valuation firm at 4.8x EBITDA. A full valuation report is included and there is $15,000 in Net Working Capital included in the deal. The business is pre-qualified by an SBA lender subject to buyer’s financials, and by implementing the proposed deal structure an owner operator will obtain more than $165,000 benefit in after-acquisition-debt cash flow in Year #1 – over 80% return on equity investment.

A comfortable transition period will be provided by the owner who truly wants to see the business continue to flourish. Seller will consider a mid-term consulting agreement thereafter. A very well trained and highly qualified sub-contractor research team will stay in place and support the new owner in all aspects of the business.
