BUSINESS DESCRIPTION & VALUE PROPOSITION
This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a turnkey traffic control and safety management business with an experienced team, established systems, and extensive equipment already in place.
Safety is a major priority in this industry, making experienced leadership and proper management essential. One of the biggest advantages of this business is its established organizational structure, with an in-house Chief Operating Officer (COO), Controller, Safety Officer, and Dispatch team overseeing daily operations. This allows the company to effectively manage dozens of Traffic Control Persons, technicians, and field supervisors while maintaining high safety standards across multiple projects.
With 25 trucks, specialized traffic control equipment, and over $1.6 million in annual revenue, a new owner can step into an established operation without having to build the team, fleet, and systems from scratch.
Recent months have seen an increase in sales activity and interest in the company’s services. With significant infrastructure spending anticipated across Vancouver Island, the business is well-positioned to pursue larger projects and additional contracts.
The real opportunity is the potential for growth. With the management team, workforce, equipment, and operational infrastructure already in place, a new owner can focus on building relationships, securing contracts, and scaling the business.
For an entrepreneur or strategic buyer, this is an opportunity to acquire an established traffic control company with the foundation already built and significant room to grow.
Equipment, Assets & Lease Details
One of the biggest advantages of this acquisition is the extensive fleet of trucks, specialized traffic control equipment, and operational assets included in the sale.
Equipment & Assets: The business includes over $250,000 in original equipment costs, including arrow boards, towable electronic message signs, two speed radar trailers, traffic barrels, delineators, cones, temporary road signage, warning beacons, safety equipment, radios, GPS cameras, and much more. The equipment is maintained in good working condition and provides the capacity to support multiple projects and large crews simultaneously.
25 Trucks Included: The fleet consists of 25 trucks, all 2018 models with approximately 80,000 kilometres each. The trucks were originally acquired through leases and subsequently bought out. They are now owned outright, maintained in great working condition, and equipped to support professional traffic control operations.
Commercial Property & Lease: The business operates from a spacious, approximately one-acre leased industrial property with a dedicated office building, secure yard, and ample room for fleet parking, equipment storage, dispatch, and daily operations. The property provides an excellent operational base for managing a large workforce and servicing Vancouver Island.
The commercial lease runs through February 2031, with an option to renew for an additional five years. Any lease assignment will require landlord approval.
Full Equipment Inventory & Due Diligence: A detailed inventory of all vehicles, equipment, assets, and lease documentation will be provided to qualified buyers during the due diligence process.
With the fleet, equipment, facilities, and team already in place, a new owner can focus on growing the business rather than making substantial upfront investments in operational infrastructure.
GROWTH & EXPANSION OPPORTUNITIES
Following a change in ownership, the current owner has successfully turned the business around and returned it to profitability. By retaining key management personnel, strengthening customer relationships, securing contracts, and recruiting staff, the business is now in a much stronger position for future growth.
The infrastructure is already in place to scale. With 25 trucks, an experienced management team, trained employees, 24/7 dispatch capabilities, and established operating systems, the company has the capacity to take on additional contracts and larger projects without having to build its operations from scratch.
One of the biggest growth opportunities is investing in new automated traffic control equipment and technology. Automated flagging systems and other advanced safety equipment could reduce staffing requirements on certain projects, improve efficiency, and allow the company to manage more jobs simultaneously.
With continued investment in road infrastructure, utility upgrades, municipal development, and major construction projects across Vancouver Island, traffic safety remains an essential service. The company’s existing fleet, workforce, safety procedures, and operational experience position it to compete for larger infrastructure projects and government contracts.
There is also significant potential to diversify into additional services. The current owner has explored opportunities such as security services and snow removal. With an established 24/7 dispatch operation, industrial yard, extensive vehicle fleet, and experienced workforce, the business has infrastructure that could potentially support additional service divisions.
However, the owner’s priority has been rebuilding and growing the core traffic management business, where considerable opportunities remain.
For a new owner, the opportunity is to build on the successful turnaround, invest in new technology, secure larger contracts, and scale an established business that already has the people, equipment, and systems in place.
