<guid isPermaLink="true">http://vrbusinessbrokers.com/Listing/Erosion-and-Sedimentation-Control-Specialist.aspx</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Company has been servicing the vast Central and South Texas market for 15 years providing solutions for erosion and sedimentation control. The Company maintains a diverse customer base of primarily commercial real estate developers and major general contractors, and has earned an excellent reputation for high quality work both on time and on budget, and in accordance with environmental regulations. In addition to solutions for construction related activities, the Company is the leader in the installation and servicing of water quality ponds. Given Austin's location over the very large Edwards Aquifer and the city's strict environmental policies this piece of the business provides a stable, very long term revenue stream. Currently the Company has $3million in contracts and is forecasting earnings in 2009 to exceed 2008. The Company employs high quality, long term management and skilled employees; equipment is current and in excellent condition. The Company operates out of 1,500 square foot building on 1 acre that is available for sale at an additional price, with easy access to all major highways. The seller is willing to stay in an ongoing sales capacity and may be open to financing the transaction. The market for erosion control services is very strong as it is often driven by construction demand and Central Texas continues to be among the top growing areas in the nation. Further, as environmental regulations tighten there is an increased need for solutions that promote water quality and prevent soil loss. There are a few, but only a few, competitors in the same market. There are opportunities to both lower costs and increase the secondary revenue stream that will greatly improve the bottom line. The current owner restricts the geographic market area and is routinely turning down opportunities further south because of the added travel costs, thereby creating the opportunity for a second location to service that growing area. ]]> </description>

Good books and records are available.The company's market share continually increases and changes in the industry have limited entry, reducing incoming competition. The business competes well with the largest companies in the area.There are a few revenue streams available which the current owner has not tapped into yet. Furthermore there are marketing and advertising mediums to take advantage of and increase exposure. ]]> </description>

<description><![CDATA[ This Child Learning Center has been established for more than 20 years in its current central Austin location. The children are taught in small groups in a warm environment to provide a high level of care. The center has been maintained below capacity intentionally by the current owner which creates an opportunity for growth for the new owner. The owner and staff enjoy very open, positive relationships with parents, many of whom have been loyal clients for many years. The programs offered provide care for infants up to 12 year olds with hours that accommodate parents' work and school holiday schedules. Staff members are also well cared for, including a Director. The seller will finance a portion of the purchase for a qualified buyer.The seller has intentionally reduced enrollment to accommodate a semi retirement lifestyle. The large market area has little option for childcare and the physical space has ample room for expansion.The business is located in a 4,100 square foot facility, roughly 50% of which is not in use currently, but is ready to use. The location is one of the best in Austin on a well traveled street in a prestigious neighborhood. ]]> </description>
