Established, High-Growth Electrical Contracting Company – Central Ohio
Business Description
Growth Drivers - EV Charging & Data Center Critical Power Certs
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a licensed, full-service electrical contracting company that has grown revenue over 200% in the past three years while maintaining stable 43–47% gross margins. The company serves residential and commercial clients throughout one of Ohio's fastest-growing metro submarkets, with roughly 80% of revenue coming from commercial work.
What sets this business apart is its specialized manufacturer certifications — including EV charging infrastructure certification and Data Center critical power/UPS equipment certification — which allow it to compete for higher-margin work that most similarly sized electrical contractors simply aren't equipped to perform. The company has completed projects up to $1 million in scope, including critical power upgrades for a Fortune 500 enterprise client, and maintains an active commercial estimating pipeline exceeding $3 million.
The business has also been deliberately professionalized over the past year to reduce owner dependence: estimating has been outsourced to a specialized third-party provider, a full-time in-house accountant now manages bookkeeping and payroll, and field operations are led by an experienced crew lead.
Highlights:
Revenue grew from ~$476K to ~$1.44M over three fiscal years (+202%); calendar-2026 revenue is projected at ~$1.78M
Positive Seller's Discretionary Earnings every year reviewed; weighted-average SDE of ~$300K
Specialized manufacturer certifications open the door to high-margin EV charging and critical power/data-center work
~$500,000 in contracted backlog and a $3M+ commercial sales pipeline
Systems and personnel already in place to reduce reliance on a single owner-operator
Clean balance sheet with modest liabilities and positive equity
Licensed trade with real barriers to entry (state licensure + skilled labor requirements)
Veteran-owned business designation (SDVOSB) and state diversity certification, both of continuing value to a qualifying buyer
Significant, largely untapped growth opportunities: underinvested marketing budget, no dedicated project manager yet, expanding SEO footprint, and an emerging critical-power/data-center niche in a market experiencing major data center growth
This is an ideal fit for an existing electrical or MEP contractor looking to enter or expand in the Central Ohio market, a private-equity-backed trades platform seeking an add-on, an independent sponsor/search-fund buyer, or a licensed electrician ready to step into an established, systematized operation rather than starting from scratch.
Real estate is leased and not included in the sale. Buyer will need an active Ohio electrical contractor license (personally or through a licensed hire).
Serious, pre-qualified buyers will be asked to sign an NDA and provide proof of financial qualification before receiving the full Confidential Information Memorandum, detailed financials, and business name/location.

- Serving residential clients in the northern Columbus outer-belt suburbs (Dublin, Worthington, Westerville, New Albany) and commercial clients within a 30-min radius of its base.
Competes against unlicensed operators and flat-rate franchise brands in residential, differentiating through custom estimates and rare EV-charging and critical-power/UPS manufacturer certifications most similarly sized competitors lack. Central Ohio's fast-growing data center sector is driving strong demand for critical power/UPS work, an underserved niche the company is positioned to capture.
Electrical licensure and skilled-labor requirements create real barriers to entry. Additional edges: engineering-firm partnerships enabling larger design-build scopes, repeat business from regional/national general contractors, and veteran-owned (SDVOSB) status supporting government-adjacent opportunities. - Opportunities for Growth
- Significant, largely untapped growth opportunities: underinvested marketing budget, no dedicated project manager yet, expanding SEO footprint, and an emerging critical-power/data-center niche in a market experiencing major data center growth
