Electrical contractor for national retail brands, $1M+ EBITDA

Rare opportunity to acquire a specialty commercial and industrial electrical contractor delivering projects across the Southeast, generating over $1 million in adjusted EBITDA and $6 million in annual revenue. Ownership has been substantially out of daily operations for several years, and the company has run on its own team throughout.

The company delivers the complete electrical scope on commercial and industrial construction projects, with a deep specialty in fueling and convenience retail sites: site underground, fuel systems, dispensers, area lighting, store interiors and main distribution. Work is performed under contract to general contractors building for national retail brands, and the company holds approved-vendor standing that governs who is permitted to bid the work at all. The company name, exact location and full financials are shared in the full CIM, after the NDA and a conversation with the advisor.

Key financial highlights

• Adjusted EBITDA: over $1 million, stated after a full market-rate charge for a replacement manager
• Annual Revenue: $6 million
• Revenue reaches the company through multiple general contractor payors rather than a single paying account
• Signed, unstarted contract work in place at closing

Operational overview

The business is built to run without daily owner involvement. Estimating and bid production, field supervision, crew scheduling and office administration sit with a long-tenured team, and ownership's remaining involvement is limited to periodic phone contact. Qualifying electrical licenses are held independent of ownership across the states served, so a buyer does not need to hold an electrical license personally.

The workforce is W-2, and the company operates its own fleet from a combined office and warehouse facility. Margin is managed job by job, with work-in-progress reporting behind every open project. All work arrives inbound, off the vendor list and by referral, with no salesperson and no marketing spend. Customers deal with the team rather than with ownership, supporting a clean transition.

Growth opportunities

• Add a dedicated sales function; the business has never employed a salesperson or spent on marketing
• Build a recurring service and maintenance division alongside the construction book, using capability already in place
• Re-enter fuel-system service, startup and certification work previously performed and discontinued
• Capture rising EV charging and commercial electrification demand
• Add field crews to take on work currently declined for capacity reasons

Reason for sale

Ownership is retiring to reclaim personal time and is seeking a buyer with the appetite to pursue growth the business has not chased.

Ideal buyer profile

This opportunity suits an established service contractor looking to add construction capability, or a trade acquirer or independent sponsor seeking a business with real team depth in place. Because licensing does not depend on the buyer, an owner without an electrical background can focus on growth rather than on the field.

Confidentiality

This is a confidential sale. Employees, customers and vendors are not aware of ownership's intent to sell. The company name, exact location and detailed financials are shared only in the full CIM, after the NDA and a conversation with the advisor. Please do not contact the business, its staff or its landlord directly.
