Founder and family owned electrical engineering consulting firm in California's Central Valley, founded in 1969 and now in its second generation of leadership. The business designs power systems for schools, hospitals, industrial facilities, retail outlets, and apartment buildings, working with architects, contractors, government entities, and other engineering firms. Service area covers San Joaquin County and points south and east into the broader Central Valley.

Nine employees, no single customer concentration above 15 to 20 percent, owns the building the business operates from. The owner is in his second generation running the firm, looking to retire on a roughly 12-month timeline, and is targeting an asking price in the 5 million range. The owner intends to exit fully after a transition period. What is good. Long operating history in a stable regional market. Clean customer diversification.

The work is professional services, recurring through repeat client and architect relationships, with no inventory or heavy capex. California Central Valley is a less competitive M&A market than coastal California. What to verify. Project backlog and pipeline. Licensure and PE retention post-close (the owner is the licensed PE and his transition matters). Public versus private customer mix. Project size distribution and concentration. Real estate value and treatment in the deal structure. Fit profile. Search fund operators with engineering, AEC, or design-build backgrounds. Strategic acquirers in MEP engineering or AEC consolidation. Independent sponsors building a regional engineering services platform.
