Hi Anon - nice to meet you. Happy to answer this one. Engineering consulting firms, including structural engineering, typically trade around 3.0x to 4.0x EBITDA depending on customer concentration, licensing continuity, and the seller’s role. SBA lenders focus heavily on licensing plans and whether a qualifying engineer will remain for at least 12 months with a multi-year agreement. If you want to dig into some actual data, Searchfunder has DealStats (redacted. You can filter by industry and review actual closed business sale multiples and pricing from recent transactions. We have a lot of experience financing engineering and consulting companies via the SBA. If you ever need help talking through a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pays us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you. You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: redacted. Look forward to chatting!

Hi, if you send me an email to redacted I’ll share a list of small engineering firms / consultancy that were sold. This list shows things like what buyers actually paid, revenue, location, and multiples.
