Business Description

Business Overview
Own a highly specialized, relocatable service business that provides critical utility vehicle (UTV) support to the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. Established 4 years ago by a retired forestry firefighter, this company serves an essential role in wildfire suppression and management by providing a fleet of UTVs and trailers for government fire operations.

Key Highlights

Locked-In Revenue: The business holds multiple 5-year VIPR contracts and an IBPA contract with the federal government.
Elite Ranking: Currently ranked 3rd out of 18 on the dispatch priority list, with the owner actively working to move the company to the #1 spot by May.
Simple Operations: Owner-operated with no full-time employees; 1099 contractors (currently family members) are used for driving as needed.
Fully Relocatable: The business is currently home-based in Scottsdale but can be operated from anywhere in the state.
High Profitability / Low Effort: The owner works only 2 hours per week in the off-season and roughly 20 hours per week during fire season.

Growth Opportunities
While the business currently generates 98% of its revenue from government contracts, significant upside exists for a buyer wanting to expand:

Year-Round Utilization: Current owners only work during fire season. Renting equipment to the public during the off-season could potentially double the annual income.
Fleet Expansion: The new owner can easily scale by adding more UTVs, trailers, or additional weed wash contracts to the existing VIPR agreements.

The Ideal Buyer
No prior experience is necessary, as the business is "very easy to manage" with reasonable organizational skills. The only physical requirement for an owner-operator is the ability to pull a 14 ft bumper pull trailer.

Financial & Sale Details

Reason for Sale: The owners are looking to enter full retirement.
Training & Support: The current owners are willing to stay on to consult for an extended period to ensure a smooth transition of the government relationships and contracts.
Seller Financing: The owners are open to discussing seller financing options for the right buyer.
