A rare opportunity to acquire a fully remote, business-to-business market intelligence operation with a track record of winning and retaining enterprise-level contracts. This firm delivers sophisticated research and analytics solutions to senior decision-makers at some of the largest corporations in the world, spanning consumer goods, healthcare, and technology industries. Revenue is diversified across three service lines: product testing accounts for the majority of billings at approximately 60%, followed by analytics engagements at roughly 30%, with the remainder derived from broader marketing research assignments.
Clients are spread globally, and the firm competes favorably against much larger research organizations by offering a high-touch, customized approach that resonates with C-suite buyers. The business runs on a lean staffing model consisting of four full-time employees supported by a flexible contractor workforce, keeping fixed overhead low and margins resilient. New business is generated through a combination of referral activity, digital discovery, strategic partnerships, and an internal sales function — providing multiple channels for continued growth.
The current ownership team undertook a significant operational restructuring and successfully navigated a Chapter 11 Sub V reorganization, emerging with a court-approved plan and a streamlined business ready for its next phase. The firm is fully relocatable and operates entirely remotely, with no geographic constraints on where a buyer can be based. Ownership is motivated to transition as they pursue a separate venture and is prepared to commit six to nine months of active involvement post-close to ensure a thorough handoff of client relationships, institutional knowledge, and operational processes.
This is an ideal acquisition for a buyer with a background in professional services, research, or analytics who wants to step into an established revenue base with enterprise-grade clientele.
