Business Description
Here’s a rare chance to own a profitable, debt-free, semi-absentee engineering and design firm in California — a business that runs smoothly without tying you to a desk. Enjoy steady income while investing only 10–15 hours per week, with an experienced project/business manager running daily operations. The licensed engineer, design team, and support staff all stay in place — no license required to own.

The firm serves a healthy mix of institutional clients, general contractors, and property owners, with no reliance on a handful of accounts or the owner’s personal contacts. Operating in California — the largest design and engineering market in the U.S. — the company benefits from strong demand and premium pricing.

The business is powered by a modern marketing engine: targeted campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and Google, a professional website, and a fully built HubSpot CRM with automated funnels. This generates high-quality leads at just $25–45 each, backed by a 5-star reputation on Thumbtack, Yelp, and Google. A reliable 24/7 phone reception service with a dedicated vanity number ensures client calls are always answered, further supporting a professional image.

The firm maintains two small offices in Northern and Southern California for client meetings; these leases are optional and can be excluded from the deal, making the business fully relocatable or remote.

Financially, it’s strong and stable: $470K revenue run-rate, $320K SDE, plus $160K in signed contracts to be collected in the next 3–5 months and $230K+ in active negotiations.

The seller will provide 30 days of transition and remain available in an advisory role afterward. Seller financing up to 70% is available for qualified buyers, making this an accessible opportunity.

Rare to see a semi-absentee firm with this level of cash flow and scalability hit the market — act quickly!
About the Business

Facilities & Assets
Fully remote operation with optional office leases available in California. Business runs efficiently on cloud-based systems with minimal physical assets (computers, software, scanners). Low overhead and flexible setup makes relocation or scale-up easy.
Market Outlook / Competition
California is the largest market in the nation for engineering and design services, with strong demand and pricing power. Competition is fragmented — many small firms rely heavily on the owner’s book of business. This firm is differentiated by a semi-absentee structure, a professional team, and a modern marketing engine generating consistent low-cost leads.
Opportunities for Growth
Significant growth potential by scaling marketing spend, expanding geographic coverage, and leveraging the existing team’s capacity. Current owner intentionally capped growth as the business was run as a side operation. A new owner can immediately tap into unmet demand in California and pursue expansion into franchise or roll-up opportunities.
