National Labor Relations Consulting Firm - Retirement Sale
Business Description
National labor and employee relations consulting firm that employers call when a union organizing campaign begins. When a representation petition is filed, the firm places experienced consultants on site within days to work with supervisors and employees through the NLRB election window. It also delivers preventive audits, leadership and HR consulting, and campaign media produced in house.
The asset is the bench. Approximately 20 senior consultants, including former union officials, corporate HR leaders, nurses, healthcare executives and attorneys, are matched to each client's industry, language and workforce. Management estimates roughly 200 people do this work nationally and regards its bench as the top tier of that group. Consultants bill $3,500 to $4,200 per day and campaigns typically deploy 4 to 8 consultants at once.
The founder delivered the work himself until about three years ago. He then stepped back, rebranded the firm away from his own name and brought in senior consultants to deliver engagements. Revenue grew from $1.2M in 2023 to $4.4M in 2024 because growth no longer depended on his time. Today his role is limited to consultant relations, industry networking and fielding inbound calls.
Costs are almost entirely variable. Consultants are paid only when deployed, so there is no idle payroll, no real estate and no capex requirement.
Financial history, accrual basis:
2022: Revenue $1.69M, SDE $738K, Adjusted EBITDA $563K
2023: Revenue $1.20M, SDE $590K, Adjusted EBITDA $415K
2024: Revenue $4.41M, SDE $1.76M, Adjusted EBITDA $1.59M
2025: Revenue $4.62M, SDE $1.63M, Adjusted EBITDA $1.46M
Trailing twelve months to August 2026: Revenue $3.99M, SDE $1.97M, Adjusted EBITDA $1.80M (45% margin)
Adjusted EBITDA is net of a market rate replacement salary for the owner.
Clients: 23 billed in the trailing twelve months, with the largest at 17% of revenue. Healthcare is 68% of revenue, with the balance in logistics, manufacturing, distribution and hospitality. Clients are enterprise and multisite employers served on site nationwide.
Company name, location and client identities are withheld until an NDA is executed. A full confidential information memorandum is available to qualified buyers.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 19
- Currently Relocatable
- Yes
- Facilities & Assets
- Administered from an office in New Jersey. All client work is performed on site at client facilities nationwide. The business is relocatable.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- A small specialist niche of roughly 200 competing firms nationally and a handful of larger firms. Credibility is the barrier to entry: consultants with authentic union, healthcare and HR leadership backgrounds cannot be trained or hired quickly. Work arrives by referral from employer counsel, prior clients and the consultants themselves. Once a petition is filed an employer has only weeks to respond, so engagements are urgent and rarely price shopped.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Most competitors earn the majority of their revenue training HR departments on union avoidance, and this firm does none today. Preventive audits and supervisor training can be packaged into annual retainers for the existing client base. Advertising spend in the trailing twelve months was zero, and there is no CRM or outbound sales effort. NLRB union election petitions reached 3,286 in fiscal 2024, double the fiscal 2021 level.
