Common questions about electrical contracting business value planning and sale preparation.
Electrical contractor valuation starts with normalized earnings, then adjusts for license continuity, backlog quality, service-contract revenue, project margin consistency, and customer concentration. The buyer must be confident the business can keep operating under proper licensing after close.
License rules vary by state and municipality. In many cases the license belongs to an individual qualifier, so buyers need a transition plan if the seller is the qualifying electrician. Deal structure should be reviewed with local legal and licensing advisors.
Useful records include 3 years of financials, job-costing reports, license and insurance documents, safety records, backlog reports, service agreements, employee roster, and a list of vehicles, tools, and equipment.
