Business Description
Credentialed crew in a labor-short trade, a diversified customer base, and a strong forward book. Owner open to staying on and rolling equity.

This is a rare chance to acquire a profitable, credentialed Class A commercial and industrial electrical contractor whose trade name has served its Northwestern Virginia market for more than five decades. Under current ownership since 2022, the business was rebuilt from a distressed operation into a clear market leader, with revenue climbing from roughly $2.5 million to more than $4.0 million while gross margin held in the high 30s and expanded modestly with scale.

Roughly three quarters of the work is commercial and industrial, performed for a diversified base of established general contractors, municipalities, and institutional clients, with no single customer dominating a given year. A residential division, built almost entirely on referral with little marketing behind it, has grown meaningfully in the past year and remains supply-constrained internally: a clear, fundable near-term upside. Service lines span new construction, panel and service upgrades, generators, EV charger installation, motor controls, site and parking-lot lighting, and low-voltage and data work carried through a long-standing subcontractor.

The real asset here is the workforce. In a trade where skilled labor is genuinely scarce and few young workers are entering, the company carries a deep bench of master and lead electricians with average field tenure of eight to ten years, and retention held through the ownership change with strong continuity across the senior field since. The master-electrician registration that qualifies the Class A license is held by a senior employee rather than the owner, removing a common single-point-of-failure risk. Specialty industrial and multifamily certifications that competitors in the market do not hold let the company bid work others are locked out of, and long-standing public-sector service contracts add steady, repeat volume.

The financial trend is real, not cosmetic. Normalized SDE reached roughly $830,000 in the most recent year, up double digits year over year. The company carries a large contracted book of work, including a major multi-year new-construction project that extends billing into 2027, giving a buyer unusual visibility into already-won revenue before closing; alongside an active proposal pipeline that reflects live, ongoing demand. The business also sits less than an hour from one of the most active construction corridors in the country. It does not chase that work directly; the value is second-order: as competitors pour crews into large-scale builds nearby, the commercial and residential work they leave behind becomes easier to win, and a satellite location could capture it without relocating the core crews.

The reason for sale is clean. The owner set out to turn the business around, hit his planned milestone, and wants a well-timed exit to strong new ownership positioned to carry the growth forward on the region's current tailwind. He is not walking away from a broken business. He is handing off one on a clear upward trajectory, and is prepared to support the transition; willing to stay involved post-sale and consider creative exit structures, including rollover equity. The owner-occupied facility is available through a market-rate leaseback and is not included in the purchase price.

For the right buyer, this is a profitable, credentialed platform with a tenured crew, a protected market position, and several fundable paths to grow: an underdeveloped residential line, room to expand bonding capacity into larger projects, and overflow demand from the corridor next door. A signed NDA unlocks the full Confidential Information Memorandum, including detailed financials, customer and backlog information, the asset schedule, and the transition plan.

Facilities & Assets
The company runs from an owner-occupied facility, owned by a related party and not included in the business sale, with multiple offices (fully modernized under current ownership), a shop, a break-and-training room, and on-site storage. The vehicle and equipment fleet is substantial and largely modern: two bucket trucks including a 55-foot insulated aerial, service vans, a mini-excavator, a scissor lift, a forklift, a dump truck, trailers, and a diesel crew-cab pickup. Nothing is due for near-term replacement, and the fleet and equipment convey with the business at an estimated ~$850,000. The real estate is available on a market-rate leaseback, and the owner would consider a sale of the building under the right terms. Inventory is minimal.
Market Outlook / Competition
The business sits in one of the strongest niches in the skilled trades, with barriers that protect an incumbent. General contractors buy on price and qualification, then re-award on reliability, turning single jobs into repeat streams of work. The competitive field is thin: the primary local competitor has been losing ground, while smaller players mostly avoid the same commercial and industrial scope. A Class A license, bonding capacity, specialty certifications, long public-sector relationships, and a credentialed crew form an edge that is genuinely hard to assemble amid trade-wide labor scarcity. Adding to the position, the business sits within an hour of one of the most active construction corridors in the country; demand it benefits from without chasing directly, as competitors pour crews into large-scale builds nearby and leave ordinary commercial and residential work behind for the incumbents still serving it.
Opportunities for Growth
A buyer steps in on a strong footing: a contracted book of work that bills into 2027 and roughly $8M in active proposals out for bid. The growth from there is layered on a profitable base. The clearest near-term lever is the residential division, which grew to roughly a dozen custom homes on referral alone and is limited only by internal capacity. A small crew and modest marketing can scale a proven line fast in a region where the company leads on reputation, service, and workforce. Beyond that: expand bonding capacity to unlock a tier of larger projects the company is currently sized out of, at the same overhead; open a satellite toward the nearby growth corridor to capture overflow work competitors leave behind; build on the estimating platform already in place to keep compressing the bid cycle; and formalize recurring property-management and municipal work into contracted revenue. None require a turnaround. Each is a lever on a profitable base.

About the Sale
Seller Motivation
Owner hit his five-year turnaround milestone; pursuing a well-timed exit.
Transition Support
The owner will support a substantial transition, with length and role flexible to the buyer's plan: from a focused handoff to extended post-sale involvement. He is open to a range of deal structures, including rollover equity with the right partner, and will consider structure creatively against the strength of an offer. Importantly, the business does not run through the owner day to day: the Class A license is qualified by a senior employee rather than the owner, and estimating, project management, and field leadership already sit with a tenured master-electrician bench. That depth is what makes a clean handoff realistic and de-risks the exit for a new owner.
