Profitable Electrical Contracting Business for Sale

Established Commercial Electrical Contractor – $700K+ Backlog, Priced to Move

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, highly reputable commercial electrical contracting business in Virginia with over $700,000 in active backlog, a skilled workforce, and strong infrastructure in place.

Founded in 2009, the company specializes in commercial, industrial, higher education, and municipal projects. It holds a Class A Electrical License, positioning it well for both private and public sector growth. Known for quality workmanship and safety, the business maintains long-term relationships with general contractors and clients, supported by a loyal and experienced team of 16 employees.

The current owner is retiring and has scaled back day-to-day involvement, leading to a dip in 2024 financials. In response, the asking price has been significantly reduced, creating a high-value opportunity for the right buyer. With backlog in place and a solid foundation, the business is poised for a strong rebound under new ownership.
