About the Business

Business Description

Based in the Western U.S., W-0213 is an applied weather and water resources consulting firm that provides specialized weather forecasts, conducts extreme storm studies and water resources development programs for a loyal base of repeat customers, primarily consisting of state, county, and local agencies. The Company is a consistently profitable, debt-free, well-established and well-respected service provider.

In recent years, the Company’s focus has been on the design and operation of water resource development programs in the Western United States, although they have previously operated programs in other parts of the U.S. and in several other countries. These programs provide an innovative water resources development approach. As populations increase and the world’s climate changes, more and more demands are being placed on existing fresh water supplies, which are already being stressed in many parts of the world. The services the Company offers are thus becoming more and more important to the world’s population. The Company has several multi-year contracts and many one-year, renewable contracts with various agencies on a non-competitive basis. They are also frequently re-awarded follow-on contracts with their clients through a competitive bid process. They have high name recognition in their field and a very good reputation for doing quality work in a timely fashion, resulting in high client satisfaction.

The owners are selling the company to begin their retirement but would remain through the sales transaction and potentially serve as part-time advisors for a period of time following the sale. The remaining professionals have ample technical experience and hold the primary customer relationships, as the owners have taken less active operational roles over the last few years. The key professional employees are expected to stay in their positions through a transaction.

Advertising and marketing efforts focus on their web site, publishing technical papers, and conference attendance.

The Company receives job referrals due to name recognition and web searches on the internet. The Company does not currently have a sales force, nor a concerted sales and marketing program.

There are substantial growth opportunities for the Company, including adding a dedicated sales and marketing program to help expand into new regions as well as promote existing capabilities. The Company has also identified add-on acquisitions that could expand their service offerings and geographic reach.
