EducationFounded in 2008, the business is a recognized name in the local driving school market. Many customer relationships span a decade or more, and several commercial accounts are on multi-year arrangements. The company ranks well in local search results and maintains an active presence on the major review platforms. The company runs on documented processes with a trained staff of 3 in place, allowing the owner to focus on high-level management. Demand is driven by non-discretionary need, making the business resilient in a range of economic conditions. Performance has been consistent year over year, with the most recent period among the strongest in the company's history. The company has expanded its service area gradually over time and now serves customers throughout the surrounding counties. A balanced mix of one-time projects and repeat engagements smooths revenue through the year and reduces seasonality risk.
