We operate, we don't roll up.
Blue Arc is building a permanent Florida platform, not a portfolio to flip. Your firm becomes part of something built to last, run by engineers, not financial sponsors.
Partner with Us
We buy Florida engineering firms. Then we do the unusual.
We keep them.
Your firm after you. Same people. Same clients. Same standards. A different name on the check.
Kelly E. Hill. 25 years operating Florida engineering. PE on staff.
Who This Page Is For
If you built it, this conversation is for you.
If you own a Florida engineering firm, you've been running it for twenty-plus years, and you're starting to think about what comes next, this is for you. Maybe you don't have a successor inside the firm. Maybe you have great people and great clients and no clean way to hand them off. That's the exact problem we're built to solve.
The Model
Buy and operate. Not buy and flip.
Your team stays.
The people who made your firm worth buying are the reason we're buying it. Phased integration respects your existing relationships and the way your shop actually runs.
The transition is on your timeline.
This is not a sign-and-walk-away deal. Plan on a two to three year transition, structured around what you and your people need, not a spreadsheet's deadline.
What It Looks Like
A transition measured in years, not weeks.
Months 1–3
Learn
We learn your business, your clients, and how your team works. Nothing changes.
Months 3–6
Selective changes
We add back-office and financial support where it helps, and only where it helps.
Months 6–18
Integration
Shared systems and broader team introductions, at a pace your clients won't feel as disruption.
Months 18–36
Advisory
You move into an advisory role on your terms, with your legacy intact and your people taken care of.
The Structure
A fair number, in plain language.
You've heard the fire-sale stories. This isn't that. The structure is straightforward and it's designed so you benefit from the growth you help build during the transition.
True Value
Receive the true value of the business you've spent years building.
Smooth transition
Be compensated for helping your team and clients experience a successful transition.
Legacy continues
Remain connected and share in the next chapter of the company's growth.

Straight Answers
The questions founders actually ask.
What happens to my team?
They stay. Retaining your people is the point, not a courtesy. Phased integration is built around keeping them.
Will you change our name?
Not on day one, and not without a plan you're part of. Brand transition happens gradually, over the integration period, with your input.
What if I want to leave earlier? Or stay longer?
The transition flexes to you. Some founders want out sooner, some want to stay on in an advisory seat for years. Both work.
How is the price set?
On the real, normalized earnings of the firm, discussed openly. No games, no lowball anchoring, no surprise revisions at the table.
Is this confidential?
Completely. Every conversation is private and non-binding until you decide otherwise. Nothing gets shared, and nothing gets announced without your sign-off.
