Business Description
For sale is a well-established electrical subcontractor in the Southeast, specializing in large-scale multifamily construction. The business is returning to market after a previously accepted offer fell through unexpectedly when the buyer ceased communication prior to closing. The company has strong, long-term relationships with two premier general contractors and is known for completing projects on time, under budget, and often ahead of schedule.
Key Highlights:

Financial & SBA Considerations:
- EBITDA: ~$4M in 2024 and ~$2M in 2025
- SBA Eligibility: Likely SBA eligible based on strong historical cash flow and contract visibility; “likely” is due to amended returns currently in process
- Financing Outlook: Based on earnings profile, we believe lenders will approve a ~$3M+ loan
- Financials: Revised by a new accountant; prior accountant did not properly apply percentage-of-completion accounting, resulting in a reported loss in 2023 that is likely a cumulative timing effect from prior years
- Amended Returns: Currently being filed to reflect corrected revenue recognition
Transaction Overview:
- Asking Price: $4 million
- Structure: $3 million at closing with remaining balance as an earnout or seller note
