Electrical Equipment Supplier for the Marine Industry – Est. 25+ Yrs
Business Description
For more than 25 years, the company has stood as one of South Florida's premier suppliers of electrical power and renewable energy equipment. A new owner will be stepping into an established, cash-flowing operation from day one, complete with a loyal customer base.
The company operates two distinct lines of business. The first is retail and wholesale distribution of marine electrical equipment, conducted through ecommerce as well as in-person and phone sales. The second is installation and equipment repair, covering full power system design, professional installation, in-house diagnostics and repair for select products, system troubleshooting and upgrades, and technical consultation.
Customers are led by the marine segment, followed by RV owners, with a smaller but significant base of industrial and commercial client such as food truck operators, mobile electrical equipment manufacturers, and similar businesses.
The retail and wholesale line is the growth engine of the business: taken in isolation, it currently generates approximately $150,000 in annual SDE and continues to expand. The installation and repair line, by contrast, is not profitable on its own. It accounts for only about 6% of total revenue yet employs most of the company's staff. Together, the two lines of business are roughly break-even.
This structure gives a new owner-operator real flexibility. One path is to invest in and grow the installation and repair business to make it a meaningful profit contributor in its own right. Alternatively, an owner could choose to focus exclusively on the retail and wholesale distribution model, winding down installation and repair work, and concentrate resources on the segment already driving profitable growth.
The business operates from a facility with a customer-facing office and showroom featuring live working renewable energy equipment, alongside a warehouse and light-manufacturing space for in-house cabling, panel fabrication, and equipment testing.

- Facilities & Assets
- The company operates from a professional office and showroom paired with a fully equipped warehouse and light-manufacturing facility. The showroom features live working displays that let customers see systems in action before purchase. The office includes sales workstations, a conference/accounting area, and dedicated shipping and security stations. The warehouse supports in-house fabrication and testing, with a soldering/cabling station, mast fabrication and coating station, inverter and turbine test stations, a solar panel test station, and a control panel manufacturing line. Material handling equipment includes a forklift, pallet jacks, hand trucks, and dollies, along with storage racks for the inventory, and small parts.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Fort Lauderdale, widely known as the "Yachting Capital of the World," supports a large and growing marine market with steady repeat and referral demand. Most local competitors are equipment resellers, offering little beyond the sale itself. The company's engineering-led approach - power demand analysis, proper system sizing, compatibility verification, and post-installation support - is difficult to replicate and sets a high bar for technical credibility that few competitors can match. Combined with a 25-year reputation, this positions the company to keep winning share from less specialized shops while expanding further into commercial and renewable energy installation work.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Several clear paths exist to grow the company beyond its current base. Expanding ecommerce by listing products on marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon would open a broader customer base beyond the local, in-person and referral-driven sales model, capturing demand from boat owners and installers who shop online. Increasing marketing to local marinas and participating in industry tradeshows would deepen relationships with the marine professionals and cruisers who already drive much of the business, while raising visibility among boat owners who haven't yet discovered the company. Perhaps the most significant opportunity lies in the industrial and commercial segment. Only a handful of such clients exist today. Building this segment out more deliberately through targeted outreach to commercial clients could open a meaningfully larger and more diversified revenue stream.
