Established surveying department for sale as part of an asset deal
Company Description
The surveying division of a limited liability company (GmbH) that has been established in the market for over 13 years is for sale as part of an asset deal. The company, which is well-positioned in the region, has successfully completed approximately 450 surveying projects during this time and generates annual net revenue of approximately 120,000 euros with a steady influx of new orders. High regional online visibility, recurring inquiries, and proven workflows form the foundation for a well-functioning business. The acquisition allows for the immediate continuation of a fully operational surveying office, including technical equipment, documentation, and a structured handover. In principle, the purchase price includes all surveying equipment and CAD software. However, the surveying equipment does not have to be included in the purchase. If desired, we can also offer these items for sale separately.
Continuing operations can be easily managed with one surveyor and one surveying assistant (on a part-time basis).

The firm primarily serves regional clients with project-specific surveying needs, including long-standing regular clients as well as new clients acquired regularly through its own website. Client relationships are characterized by repeat business, referrals, and a regional client base built up over more than 13 years. Key factors in securing contracts include, in particular, the firm’s regional presence, high online visibility, and the reliable and timely execution of surveying projects.
The market for surveying services is closely linked to the development of construction, real estate, and infrastructure projects and exhibits a steady demand due to legal requirements. Growth potential stems in particular from ongoing construction activity, modernization and development initiatives, as well as the increasing digitization of planning and documentation processes. Regionally based surveying firms benefit from their local knowledge, quick response times, and long-term involvement in local project workflows. The company has been established in this attractive market for over 13 years and enjoys high regional visibility as well as a robust demand base.
The company competes primarily with regional surveying firms, engineering firms with their own surveying divisions, and larger, nationwide providers. Indirect competition comes from the in-house surveying departments of construction and planning firms, as well as, increasingly, from digital and low-cost surveying services. No reliable market share data is available; the company’s competitive position is strengthened in particular by its regional presence spanning more than 13 years, numerous repeat customers and referrals, and high online visibility. The immediately available technical equipment, established workflows, and ongoing customer inquiries enable rapid order processing and make it difficult for new providers to enter the market.
