Company Overview: This farm design-build construction business was established in 2004 and serves property owners in a strong Florida agricultural and equestrian market. The company designs and builds custom farm facilities for horse, cattle, and sheep properties. It has operated for more than two decades and has built a strong name through hands-on work, clear client service, and repeat referrals. The business does not need a retail office or shop, but it does need local jobsite presence and close client contact. Product & Customer Base: The company provides design and construction services for farm owners, rural estate owners, and livestock operators. Work includes farm planning, barns, fencing, round pens, farm roads, pond roads, and related structures. Customers often come through referrals and word-of-mouth. Many clients are established farm owners who return for new needs over time, while others are new property owners building or improving farms. The company reports serving more than 600 clients over its history, with at least 30 clients often active or building something. Operations & Team: Day to day, the owner leads sales, client meetings, design, planning, project flow, site checks, and quality control. A typical job starts with a client meeting to learn the farm use, animals, layout needs, budget, and end goal. The owner then turns that plan into a clear design and build path so the client knows what will be built. Field work is completed through a large subcontractor base of about 50 to 60 subcontractors, many with their own crews and long working ties to the company. The owner stays close to job sites to manage quality, materials, timing, and client trust. The model is asset-light and flexible, but it requires strong construction skill, proper building licensing, and knowledge of horse, cattle, and sheep care. Growth: The company has grown over time from smaller fence work into full farm design and construction. Recent demand has been steady, with the owner reporting years of ongoing work and little need for paid advertising. The business benefits from a strong local farm market, a large past-client base, and repeat work from established farms. Growth could come from adding a project manager, design support, or sales help; building a more formal marketing program; and using the subcontractor network to take on more projects without adding a large fixed payroll. Transition: The owner is selling to step back after a long career and focus on other personal and mission-related priorities, with no family successor in place. The owner is willing to support a full year of transition and may stay on for an added year as a consultant or designer. This support can include client introductions, project handoff, design guidance, subcontractor introductions, and training on how to sell, plan, and manage custom farm projects. 📍 Williston, FL 💰 Asking Price: $1,065,000 ?
