Land Use Consulting North County San Diego

Listing Number: 2401-687118

Description

Land use planning, landscape architecture, land use policy formulation, environmental assessments, and entitlement processing and permitting services located in North County, CA since 1985. Coordinating and managing development entitlements for a residential subdivision, condominium project, shopping center, industrial buildings, etc. represent the bulk of the firm’s work. The firm has been involved in most of the important development – and re-development - projects in the area and can boast a very impressive and loyal client base. Currently it is serving approximately 25 unique clients and 80 projects that can take years to complete and then repeat periodically. The types of projects change over time but the community is vibrant and unlikely to run out of projects that require these services – ever.
Sellers are moving into semi-retirement but are committed to facilitate a smooth transition and support the buyer into the future in a part-time advisory capacity. The sellers work in the business approximately 45 hours per week (between them). Other than transition support, their roles can be absorbed by one consultant/owner and existing staff.
This is a rare opportunity for a practice in a related field to add land planning, development entitlements and environmental permitting as a complementary division, for another like firm to expand into the area, or for an individual prepared to enter the land use consulting industry to enjoy an established presence and support of an experienced team. All business comes from referrals. The company continues to have extensive relationships with local government staff, developers, and people in business. They have not advertised in 25 years.
There are 3 staff members and 1 contractor in addition to the owners.
A long-term lease in the current location is possible but the business could be relocated anywhere within reasonable commuting distance to the projects.
2024 Gross: $740,675, SDE: $302,139. 2023 and 2022 performance was fairly consistent with 2024.
Up to $200,000 seller note possible for qualified buyers. Asking $750,000.
