This is a niche research firm that gathers and summarizes local sign code rules for commercial signage projects. It serves sign manufacturers, installers, and multi-site brands across the U.S. and Canada. The business has operated for over two decades and is known for clear, practical code summaries that speed project approvals and reduce risk. Operations run fully remote with standard weekday hours. The owner is the only employee and coordinates a long-tenured bench of independent contractors for admin support, quality review, training, and research tasks. A proprietary workflow platform manages order intake, data collection, and delivery. A new client portal is near launch to enable self-serve ordering, status updates, and document access, with future online payments possible. External partners provide accounting and technical support. Revenue is 100% service-based from research fees, delivered as standardized code summary reports. Customer churn is low. The client base spans many signage ecosystem players, with the top five accounts representing a meaningful but manageable share of revenue. The model is remote and asset-light, with no special licenses required and training achievable for an operator with general business skills. Growth opportunities include a formal sales effort beyond referrals and underused paid search, outreach to past and current clients, and targeted trade show participation. Adjacent research lines, such as building permit, electrical, and lighting requirements, can expand wallet share. Frequently requested permit filing services could add a new revenue stream. Standardizing templates and using AI for intake can improve throughput and margins. Select price adjustments are pending. The seller offers a flexible transition period and recommends hands-on daily involvement.
