Established and steadily growing, this Upstate South Carolina commercial electrical contracting company has built a stellar reputation for reliability, quality workmanship, and integrity. The company provides comprehensive electrical contracting services for commercial clients (~90%) and select residential projects (~10%), with a loyal base of repeat and referral customers - no outside marketing required

The current owner has intentionally maintained operations at a controlled level to suit his preferred lifestyle, focusing on repeat clients and steady profitability rather than aggressive expansion. A new owner could easily scale by pursuing the abundant demand the company regularly turns away.

Approximately half the work is local, and half involves travel projects. The company is fully staffed with a seasoned and motivated team, including two strong project managers, one currently being trained as an estimator to reduce owner dependence.

Highlights
Consistent Growth: Revenue has increased year over year. The modest year-over-year decline in SDE margin reflects the company’s recent decision to offer subsidized employee health insurance - an investment in retention and team stability rather than reduced operating performance.
Strong Profitability: TTM SDE of $1.2MM on $5.14 MM revenue.
Experienced Team: Skilled field staff and project managers who want to take on greater leadership roles.
Turnkey Operations: Systems and processes in place; work comes entirely from repeat clients and referrals.
Owner Support: Seller will provide an extended transition and is flexible to ensure buyer success.
Licensing Advantage: Seller holds unlimited electrical licenses in SC, NC, and TN, with GA pending; willing to let buyer operate under his license for a negotiated fee.
Diversified Customer Mix: About 90% commercial projects, with end users split roughly 60/40 between commercial and residential environments.
Key Customer Relationship: One customer accounts for approximately 50% of annual revenue; however, this relationship encompasses work for numerous well-known commercial end users across varied facilities and projects, providing a stable and diversified workload
