59-Year SBA Pre-Qualified Commercial Electrical Business | 345 Active Clients | 40% Net Margin

Deal Pipe® presents a 59-year-old B2B Commercial Electrical company that has served commercial and industrial clients since 1967. This business was founded with $32, a phone line, and a newspaper ad, and has grown into a respected operation with 345 active customers, including their original client from their first year in business. Their name has been built on one core principle: fast, dependable service whenever customers need it.

For 59 years, this company has supported restaurants, manufacturing facilities, machine shops, apartment complexes, scrap yards, and industrial plants. When equipment fails or power systems break down, production stops. Their team restores operations quickly. That reputation for response and follow-up has allowed them to operate without formal advertising while still maintaining consistent growth.

SBA Financing Opportunity

This business has been pre-qualified for SBA financing, offering a distinct advantage to prospective acquirers. For qualified buyers, this means the company meets stringent lender criteria for consistent cash flow, operational stability, and financial documentation, reducing uncertainty and expediting the lending process. With only 10% down required, buyers can secure ownership through a 10-year, fully amortized loan at competitive fixed interest rates, enabling affordable monthly payments and maximum capital leverage.

Business Model

This is a full-service commercial and industrial electrical operation. Their services include regular-voltage and high-voltage work, transformer installation, dedicated power lines, control circuitry, heavy machinery hookups, underground pipe runs, pole lighting, sewage ejection pumps, and switchgear systems up to 13KV. They also handle step-down transformers, primary and secondary wiring, and standby generator connections. Their revenue mix is balanced between 60% service work and 40% new construction, which creates steady daily call volume alongside larger project opportunities. The company operates with a 40% net profit margin and recently achieved 45% year-over-year revenue growth. Their active customer count is 345.

The seller is open to a long-term transition and is willing to remain available to support licensing and relationship transfer.

Digital Marketing & Traffic

There are no service contracts in place. Repeat business drives operations. Customers call because they trust the response time and the quality of work. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of annual revenue, reducing risk and spreading income across a wide base of accounts. Customer loyalty is tied to service quality, not brand advertising, making accounts highly transferable to a capable operator. An existing commercial or residential electrical company would find this platform highly complementary. Their depth in industrial systems, licensed team, equipment fleet, and long-standing municipal relationships create a stable base with room to grow.

Operations

The business runs with a lean but skilled team. Three Licensed Master Electricians work between 40–60 hours per week. Compensation ranges from $45.50 – $60 per hour plus bonuses, reflecting the technical depth required for industrial and commercial jobs. An office manager supports estimates, billing, scheduling, collections, and bookkeeping at 20 hours per week.

The seller remains active at roughly 40 hours per week and remains available during nights and weekends when emergencies arise. Their presence has shaped the company culture around accountability and quick turnaround. Assets included in the sale provide immediate operational strength. The company owns three Nissan NV 2500 heavy-duty service trucks fully equipped with tools, an 8,000-pound dual-wheel hydraulic dump trailer, a scissor lift, and a warehouse stocked with materials. Approximately $400,000 in FF&E and inventory are part of the transaction.

Growth Opportunities

Restaurant equipment repairs and installations offer ongoing volume. Machine shop equipment hookups and industrial upgrades present strong recurring demand. Apartment complexes and high-rise buildings require dependable emergency electrical service. Scrap yards and manufacturing plants rely on maintenance and change-outs for high-value machinery.

A buyer could introduce structured service agreements, expand crews, or build a simple digital presence tied to the existing domain. None of these systems are currently in place, which leaves room for expansion without changing the core operating model.

Summary

This acquisition offers nearly six decades of proven service history, a skilled licensed workforce, tangible hard assets, and a loyal customer base of 345 active accounts. Their reputation for fast response and consistent quality has carried the company forward without reliance on advertising or complex marketing systems. For a buyer seeking a stable, profitable electrical services company with strong margins and real operational depth, this opportunity is built on a foundation tested for 59 years.
