by an intermediary from Duke University - The Fuqua School of Business in New York, NY, USA

This U.S.-based environmental engineering firm delivers end-to-end wastewater solutions for public and private clients. The company has operated for decades and serves projects nationwide, with select work in neighboring countries. Offerings span planning and studies, detailed design, construction engineering and administration, startup, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Many projects include supply of key treatment equipment with performance guarantees, providing single-source accountability. Operations run with a lean senior team. The principal engineer leads delivery, business development, and management, supported by a long-tenured senior engineer. Work is largely remote with a small office footprint, enabling low fixed overhead. The firm maintains professional engineering licensure in multiple states, allowing it to execute across regions. New work comes from referrals, online inquiries, and external business development support. Revenue is diversified across service phases and equipment supply, creating multiple entry points with follow-on O&M opportunities. Working capital needs are typical for engineering services, with standard receivable and payable terms. Equipment and inventory levels are modest. Customer concentration can occur by project but is offset by a broad geographic scope and mixed client base. Growth opportunities include expanding turnkey packages that combine engineering with major equipment, deepening O&M programs to add recurring revenue, and targeting unsewered communities and areas with stricter nitrogen removal standards. Partnerships with regional civil firms can extend reach, while formalized sales efforts can improve pipeline visibility. The business is not suited to absentee ownership. A licensed professional engineer should lead day-to-day work. The seller is prepared to support a structured transition, with full-time involvement in year one and reduced support over the following years. 📍 Newton, MA 💰 Asking Price: $990,000 📊 Revenue: — 💵 SDE: N/A SBA Eligibility: SBA Eligible 🤝 Seller Financing: Yes 🏷️ Industry: N/A View the full listing on Baton: https://www.batonmarket.com/market/businesses-for-sale/newton--ma/f418e1ea-5da9-45e1-9bd9-5a15a7fb8589?utm_source=searchfunder&utm_medium=listing&utm_campaign=searchfunder_deal
