Anyone with experience operating urban planning / tech. pro services biz?

Interested to hear from searchers who have acquired technical professional services business without having the credentials/certifications required to deliver projects.

Wondering if there are any growth levers or value creation options outside of adding more headcount and expanding geographic reach?

Thanks!

Hi ^Searchfunder member‌, I've represented a number of clients in the acquisition of technical professional services business. We minimize the risk by having key man provisions in the LOI, purchase agreement and conditions precedent that include employment agreements for all key employee. This helps to defray risk of losing your team after the acquisition. I'd be happy to discuss this further.
