Established electrical contracting business serving the Greater Nashville market — generating $400,000+ in annual revenue from a loyal base of repeat general contractors and developers. Built entirely on word-of-mouth with zero marketing spend, this business has real upside the moment a buyer establishes even a basic digital presence. The seller is a licensed Master Electrician and TN Code Inspector who is stepping back to focus on his inspection career — and he's not walking away. Will stay on to support with project management through the transition, helping to complete current work, and continues referring all inbound business to the buyer indefinitely. What makes this deal different: Only $175,000 due at close. The remaining $175,000 is paid from the contracted revenue you're buying — meaning the business helps fund its own acquisition. Ideal for an existing electrical contractor looking to grow their book, or a home services operator ready to add electrical to their platform. The seller will serve as Qualifying Agent for up to six months, removing the licensing barrier for the right buyer. No lease. No debt. Lots of upside

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating building and construction business acquisitions.
Signed contracts, change-order patterns, and bonding capacity tell you what you're really buying; a big trailing year with an empty pipeline is a trap, and bonding is often tied to the owner personally.
Many trades require a licensed qualifier that may leave with the seller. Verify what you must hold before you can legally operate.
A plumbing or HVAC company with a service-and-maintenance base is worth far more than one living on new-construction bids — service agreements generate steady recurring revenue and replacement leads.
Receivables, retainage, and work-in-process tie up real cash between billing and collection; establish the need and whether it's in the deal.
The estimator, project managers, and lead crews carry the business. Identify the key people, their pay, and retention after close.
Trucks, heavy equipment, and related-party rent distort earnings. Tour the fleet, check deferred maintenance, and stress the discretionary earnings.
