Turnkey LED retrofit and lighting integrator serving a roster of Class A institutional landlords, premier sports venues, and top facilities across the NYC market (one of the most demanding commercial real estate environments in the country). Regulatory tailwinds on commercial lighting compliance creates its own demand. This isn’t a volume shop chasing every job that comes through the door. The Company has spent years earning “preferred vendor” status with sophisticated property managers and GCs who need flawless, non-union execution inside fully occupied, design-sensitive buildings. This is one of only a handful of non-union electrical contractors granted access to some of these institutional portfolios at all. 2026 is shaping up well. The business is on pace for $1.5-2M in revenue. Two active opportunities exceeding $1M each came in purely through GC and project management relationships, not the anchor institutional account — the growth potential extends well beyond any top client. With real runway left untapped, the current owner is regularly turning away new work simply due to bandwidth and client selectivity, while spending part time hours a week keeping things running. A buyer with more time, capital, or a sales-focused hire, could meaningfully scale this without inventing a new strategy. What the business does: End-to-end LED retrofit and high-efficiency lighting conversions: audit, design, procurement, installation, and optimization Advanced lighting controls integration Ongoing project flow driven by energy code compliance and corporate ESG mandates, not one-off discretionary spend Remote/On-site, no electrical license/permit held by the business How it performs financially: 50%+ gross margins Lean, efficient operating structure Strong cash position with minimal debt Long-tenured client relationships, several spanning years, with high repeat/referral rates Building owners and facilities managers aren’t choosing whether to modernize lighting, they’re required to, between tightening energy codes and corporate sustainability mandates. That makes this demand structural, not cyclical. Even data centers built for AI workloads need compliant lighting infrastructure. This business is positioned directly in the path of that demand.

This is an ideal acquisition for an experienced solar or electrical contractor, a strategic buyer in the home services or construction space, or an entrepreneurial operator ready to step into an established, cash-flowing business with a 15-year brand advantage that cannot be replicated. NABCEP-certified residential and commercial solar installation company with 15 consecutive years of operation in Central New York. Founded in 2011, the business has grown entirely through referrals — with virtually zero advertising spend — into the dominant local installer in its county. 2025 was the company's best year on record: $1,410,055 in revenue, $362,899 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, and 49 completed projects — all-time highs across the board. The business entered 2026 with approximately $300,000 of committed project pipeline and strong spring momentum. NABCEP PVIP-certified Operations Owner with 16+ years of solar-specific experience — the industry's gold standard credential. Referral-driven model with a 20–25% average close rate and near-zero customer acquisition cost. $179,300 in net equipment equity included in the asking price — all loans paid off (2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2024 John Deere 30P excavator, 2020 Massey Ferguson tractor, enclosed trailers, and full tool inventory) 300+ systems installed over 15 years, creating a growing service and maintenance revenue stream. NYSERDA-authorized exclusive installer for the county's Solarize CNY campaign. BBB A+ rated; active NYSDPS Distributed Energy Resource Supplier in good standing. Clean balance sheet — zero debt, no real estate loans. New York State policy tailwinds remain strong: 70% renewable electricity mandate by 2030, NYSERDA NY-Sun incentive program, 25% NYS solar tax credit (up to $5,000), and net metering all continue to drive residential demand. The commercial Federal ITC remains in place through 2027 — a timely growth lever for an incoming buyer, as commercial solar is currently underserved at 10–20% of revenue. Seller financing available: The sellers will carry 10–15% of the purchase price as a seller note, making this SBA 7(a) financeable and materially expanding the qualified buyer pool. Transition: 90-day training and handoff period; extended consulting available. Sunbase CRM currently being implemented and will transfer to the buyer at close. NDA required for financials and location. Qualified buyers will receive a full Confidential Information Memorandum.

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.
