What to know

What to know about buying an architectural & engineering services business in Georgia

Atlanta holds most of the market: logistics and distribution, home services, construction trades, professional services, healthcare and film production support. Savannah adds port logistics and manufacturing, and Augusta adds cybersecurity and medical work. Georgia licenses general and residential contractors through a state board, and the trades through separate boards. The state has a corporate income tax, and the owner of a pass-through entity can elect to pay tax at the entity level. Local business licenses are charged by city or county, often on gross receipts. SBA 7(a) lending is active through many banks, with the SBA district office in Atlanta. Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah are the active metros.

How architectural & engineering services businesses are valued

Asking prices are set as a multiple of earnings: 3x–9x annual profit, depending on licensed staff, repeat clients, and how much runs without you.

Where you land in that range depends on whether your licensed engineers stay after the sale, how much revenue comes from repeat clients on ongoing agreements, and whether the business runs without you managing every project.

Licensed engineers across multiple states
Repeat clients on ongoing agreements
A signed pipeline of upcoming work
A project management team that runs without you

What buyers of architectural & engineering services businesses look for

Larger engineering firms looking to expand into new regions or add specialties they don't have
Companies from related fields like environmental consulting, construction management, or surveying
First-time buyers with technical backgrounds looking for a firm with repeat clients and a solid pipeline
Engineering firms looking to grow through acquisitions rather than hiring

The first questions buyers ask:

Licensure. Who can be in responsible charge after close—by state and discipline?
Backlog. Is your backlog real work—or hope plus proposals?
Project Economics. Can your margins survive normal A&E turbulence—utilization, realization, WIP, and write-offs?

Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Licensed Engineers on Staff

Ask how many licensed professional engineers are on staff, which states they're licensed in, and how long each has been with the firm.
A firm with multiple PEs across several states keeps its ability to stamp and approve work after the sale without depending on the owner.
Find out whether any licenses are held personally by the current owner and what the transfer implications are.
Engineers who manage their own client relationships and stay through the transition are what make the business fundable.

Repeat Client Revenue

Ask what percentage of revenue comes from clients who have been returning for three or more years.
Government on-call contracts and multi-year private agreements carry predictability that competitive bid work doesn't.
If 70 percent or more of revenue is from repeat clients, the existing relationships carry most of the business forward on their own.

Pipeline Visibility

Ask for a pipeline summary with expected values and timelines for signed work and live proposals.
Awarded contracts and proposals in late stages give you a window into near-term revenue that financial statements alone can't show.
A win rate history on competitive bids tells you how well the firm converts without relying on the owner's personal network.

Operations Without the Owner

Find out who handles project scheduling, client communication, and day-to-day delivery when the owner is out.
If a principal engineer and project managers run the business independently, you can step in without managing every technical detail.
If the owner is still the lead engineer on most projects, the transition plan becomes a bigger part of the deal structure.

Valuation

What Should You Expect to Pay?

3x-5x

SDE

Owner-operated, project-based revenue

5x-9x

EBITDA

Licensed team, repeat clients, strong pipeline

Multiples are driven by how much of the revenue is genuinely recurring from repeat clients and how independent the licensed team is, because both factors directly determine how much value survives an ownership transition.

What drives a premium

Multiple licensed professional engineers who will stay after the sale, covering several states

70%+ of revenue from repeat clients on ongoing agreements, not competitive bids

Signed pipeline of awarded contracts providing forward revenue visibility

Project managers who handle delivery and client relationships independently of the owner

Architectural & Engineering Services Businesses in Georgia

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?

Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.

Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?

No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.

How does buying a business on Rejigg work?

Create a free account, set your criteria, and browse off-market businesses sourced directly by our team. When you find a match, reach out to the owner through the platform, Rejigg handles NDAs, scheduling, and document sharing so you can focus on the deal.

How much does it cost to buy a business?

Prices vary widely; most small businesses on Rejigg sell for $500K to $10M. Beyond purchase price, budget for diligence costs (attorney and accountant fees, typically $10K-$50K) and working capital reserves. Getting started on Rejigg is free.

What financing options are available?

The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.

How is Rejigg different from a broker or marketplace?

Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.

What is due diligence and what does it involve?

Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.

Can I buy a business with no money down?

Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
