- The business is home based.
The most significant assets include three mobile labs that conduct onsite drilling for samples and full labs for analysis. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Very few firms with the mobile capability. The mobile labs are able to return results much more quickly, are more cost effective, and may avoid the sample degradation that sometimes results from shipment to fixed location laboratories.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth Opportunities:
• Expand scope of environmental testing – I.e., indoor air, soil and water.
• Expand geographically – no mobile firms currently located in northern California
• No current marketing programs. Relies on word of mouth and existing (albeit significant) client base.
