Off-market: Electrical construction company with $1.7M profit

Hey, it’s Ben!

Today I’m sharing an off-market deal that checks all the boxes - strong cash flow, established team, and an owner willing to stick around for years after the sale.

This is exactly the kind of opportunity you won’t find on BizBuySell.

Here’s what makes it special 👇


Community Spotlight

Zachary closed on a $4.5M medical practice with 100% financing after joining Acquisition Ace.

“Through every step of the process Ben was very responsive when I was looking at deals that didn’t end up working out and then this deal that we both really liked… he was super helpful and provided a lot of guidance that I really needed. It really wouldn’t have turned out as well as it did without all your help.”

Zachary got hands-on guidance through diligence, negotiations, and structuring, and ended up making a great deal.

There’s an electrical construction company in New York specializing in high-rise residential projects that’s generating $1.7M in annual profit.

The owner works 40 hours per week with a full team of 30 employees and is willing to stay on for 3-5 years after the sale.


The Deal Overview

This business specializes in electrical construction for high-rise residential buildings in New York - a consistent demand market given ongoing urban development.

The company has a 30-person team already in place and multiple long-term contracts that provide revenue stability.

Revenue has fluctuated year-to-year but remains stable when viewed over a 3-5 year period, which is typical for project-based construction businesses.

The owner’s willingness to stay involved for 3-5 years post-sale significantly de-risks the transition, especially for buyers without electrical or construction backgrounds.


The Numbers

Annual profit: $1.7M

Team: 30 employees

Owner schedule: 40 hours/week

Transition: Owner stays 3-5 years post-sale

Contracts: Multiple long-term agreements in place

The established team, existing contracts, and extended owner transition make this attractive for SBA financing or creative deal structures.

(Acquisition Ace members learn how to evaluate construction businesses and negotiate extended seller transitions. Want to learn these strategies? Book a call with our team here.)


Why This Deal Stands Out

Most construction companies require constant owner involvement in sales, project management, and client relationships.

This operation has 30 employees handling daily operations, allowing the owner to work a standard 40-hour week instead of the 60-80 hours typical in construction.

The 3-5 year owner involvement is exceptional, giving you years to learn the business, maintain client relationships, and transition operations while the previous owner remains available.

Long-term contracts provide revenue visibility that’s rare in construction, reducing the risk typically associated with project-based businesses.
