Business Description
This is an opportunity to acquire an established professional land surveying firm serving the Northern California market. The company specializes in residential boundary and topographic surveys, small subdivisions, lot-line adjustments, legal descriptions, and construction staking. Its focused service model is built around technical boundary expertise, reliable delivery, and long-standing relationships with architects, developers, prior clients, and professional referral sources.

The business generated $846,664 of trailing-twelve-month revenue and $302,308 of adjusted seller’s discretionary earnings, representing a 35.7% SDE margin. Revenue has remained broadly stable while the company has operated within an intentionally focused model.

The acquisition includes an experienced field and office team, established operating workflows, customer and referral relationships, and a substantial archive of company project records, including more than 2,000 project files and approximately 400 recorded surveys. Project flow is supported by repeat clients, professional referrals, word-of-mouth, and online inquiries.

Buyer fit is important because a land surveyor license is personal and non-transferable. A buyer must be a California-licensed land surveyor or employ a qualified California licensee able to take responsible charge before closing. The current owner remains involved in fee setting, work assignment, research, complex boundary determinations, and final review.

Growth opportunities include adding licensed and field capacity, reactivating prior-client and historical-file opportunities, improving lead and project tracking, and selectively expanding adjacent services such as scanning, construction staking, drone-enabled surveying, and government work.
