Full-Service Architectural Firm
Business Description
This established full-service architectural firm has been delivering architecture, design, master planning, interior design, and construction documentation services for nearly 30 years. Headquartered in a high-growth Midwest metro, the firm serves contractors, developers, owners, municipalities, and civil engineers across local, statewide, and national markets.
The firm has held licensure in 48 U.S. states plus Guam and Puerto Rico at its peak, currently maintaining 35+ active state licenses providing a cost-efficient pathway to immediate national deployment. Averaging approximately 250 projects per year, the firm maintains 50–60 active clients including 12 core repeat clients with monthly engagement.
Its counter-cyclical business model flexes across commercial, retail, restaurant, religious, apartment, and government project types. The firm operates with near- zero debt, consistent gross margins above 40%, and strong free cash flow.
Investment Considerations:
• Licensed in 35+ states — rare national platform in a boutique-sized firm, transferable to a new owner immediately.
• Nearly 30-year operating history with deep client loyalty; 12 repeat clients with monthly touchpoints.
• Asset-light, near-zero debt operations generating strong free cash flow available for distribution from day one.
• Second licensed architect on staff ensures operational and regulatory continuity post-acquisition.
• Counter-cyclical revenue model with diversified project types reduces exposure to any single market segment.
