Business Highlights
- A key employee of five years' tenure manages roughly 99% of field operations

- Over thirteen years of established industrial and manufacturing client relationships
- Work is bid per project for industrial and manufacturing clients
Considerations / Questions to Ask
- The listing claims SDE of $637k, but the recorded figure is $444k. This is the one genuine conflict in the record and it needs the seller to resolve it.
- One employee runs 99% of field operations. That is the single biggest risk in this deal. What holds them?
- An owner staying five years is unusual. Understand what that says about how transferable the client relationships are.
- Project work bid per job means no contracted backlog. What is the pipeline, and how far forward is it visible?
- Electrical contracting requires a licence held by a qualifying individual. Whose is it, and does it stay?
Opportunities
- A five-year owner transition removes most of the relationship risk that usually kills contractor deals
- A field operation that already runs without the owner is a business rather than a job
- Industrial clients repeat, and thirteen years of them is a real book
- Three field employees against this revenue means added crew capacity converts directly into revenue
