For Residential Electrical Company Owners — Southeast US

Stop selling alone
at 2.5–4.5x.
Sell together at 10x.

We're building a group of residential electrical companies across the Southeast with one goal — sell as a combined $40–70M platform at a multiple that no individual company can achieve on its own.

The Problem

Residential electrical is fragmented by design.

Most residential electrical companies never sell. Those that do get low multiples from buyers who know they're the only offer. The industry hasn't had its roll-up moment yet — which means the opportunity is still open.

Too Small to Attract Serious Buyers

Most residential electrical companies stay under $5M revenue. Private equity and strategic buyers need scale to deploy capital. A single $3M shop isn't worth the integration cost — a $50M platform absolutely is.

No Platform Exists Yet

Residential electrical is where HVAC was in 2010. There are no dominant scaled platforms. The consolidation hasn't happened. The owner who gets there first captures the premium — just as the first HVAC roll-ups did.

Owners Drift to Commercial

Most residential shops flip to commercial work after $5M. Easier operations, same margins, fewer customers. This keeps residential fragmented and locks individual owners out of the valuations that scale creates.

Selling Alone Means Selling Low

A standalone residential electrical company at $1M EBITDA might sell for $2.5M–$4.5M if it sells at all. That same company inside a $50M platform at a 10x multiple is worth $7M to the same buyer — for the same business.

Call any PE firm in home services. Tell them you have a $50M residential electrical platform. The room changes.
Investors deployed $20B into home services in 2025. Electrical is the missing piece. That demand is real and documented.
Why Now

Six reasons the timing is right.

70%
Multi-Trade PE Deals
70% of 2025 PE deals in home services were multi-trade. HVAC platforms are actively acquiring electrical companies to bundle services and boost margins.
10–20%
Margin Boost for Buyers
Adding electrical to an HVAC platform generates 10–20% revenue uplift and 4–8% margin improvement. Buyers will pay a premium for that.
15%
YoY Industry Growth
EV charger installations, smart home upgrades, and panel replacements are driving 15% year-over-year growth — independent of weather or season.
8–12x
Platform EBITDA Multiple
A diversified, multi-company platform commands 8–12x EBITDA. Standalone residential companies, when they sell at all, get 2.5–4.5x. That gap is your upside.
$20B
Deployed Into Home Services
Investors deployed $20B into home services in 2025 alone. The capital is chasing the right platforms. Electrical is the last major trade without a scaled player.
100%
Recession Resistant
Homes cannot function without electricity. Unlike HVAC, demand is weather-independent and year-round. Buyers treat that consistency as a premium asset.

The escape hatch:If the platform hasn't moved toward a sale and you're not satisfied after 3 years, you can unwind your participation without penalty. The upside is real. The downside is bounded by a contractual rescission right. You are not locked in indefinitely.
What You Gain

You keep control. We add horsepower.

Joining the Alliance means plugging into real operational infrastructure that flows directly to your bottom line — and makes the platform significantly more attractive to buyers at exit.

Revenue

AI-Driven Lead Conversion

Custom phone and CSR infrastructure with AI assistance. Every inquiry handled, every lead tracked. 25% improvement in close rates based on our own operating data.

Materials

Vendor Accountability

Automated PO-to-invoice comparison catches vendor pricing and delivery errors in real time — errors we identify on a near-weekly basis in our own operation worth thousands of dollars each time.

Buying Power

Group Purchasing

Alliance-wide purchasing at $40–70M combined revenue unlocks 10–20% volume discounts on conduit, breakers, panels, and tools. Directly improves your margins without changing anything about how you operate.

Operations

Performance Scorecards

Weekly technician KPI system that drives accountability, job assignment, and coaching. Designed for field-deployed teams that are hard to supervise through a P&L alone.

Finance

Centralized Reporting

Standardized financial reporting across all companies. This is what makes the platform credible and comparable to PE buyers — consistent, clean data that supports premium valuations.

New Revenue

B2B Contractor Pipeline

An entirely new revenue channel through revolving subcontractor accounts. Capable of double-digit annual growth and the kind of recurring contract revenue that buyers specifically reward with higher multiples.

The Leverage You Don't Have Alone

When we're desirable, we set the terms.
Not the buyer.

The single most important thing scale buys you isn't just a higher multiple. It's negotiating power. And that changes everything about what the sale actually looks like for you.

A small company has no leverage. A $50M platform does.

When you sell alone, the buyer writes the contract. You take the multiple they offer, the structure they want, and the terms they dictate — or you don't sell. When a $50M platform goes to market with multiple interested buyers competing for it, the dynamic reverses entirely. We choose the buyer. We negotiate the terms. We walk away if the deal isn't right.

Protect Your Employees

When PE buys a small company alone, the first thing they audit is headcount. At scale, you can negotiate employment protections, retention packages, and role guarantees directly into the purchase agreement. Your team helped build this. At the right platform size, you have the leverage to protect them.

Protect Your Legacy

Brand names get erased. Long-tenured employees get cut. Community relationships get replaced by a toll-free number. None of that is inevitable — it's just what happens when you have no leverage. A desirable platform can negotiate brand continuity, local management retention, and operational autonomy as conditions of the deal. Small companies cannot. Large platforms can.

Selling alone
Buyer sets the price, structure, and terms. You accept or walk away empty-handed after years of work.
Selling as a platform
Multiple buyers compete. You choose who buys. You negotiate employee protections, brand terms, and transition conditions from a position of strength.
The bigger the platform, the more desirable the deal — and the more of your own terms you can demand. This isn't just about the multiple. It's about who controls the outcome.
Who We Are

Electricians who got burned by PE.
Not doing it again.

We're not consultants or brokers. We've been in the trades our entire careers and we've been through the sell-side experience of watching the investment guys take the value. This is personal.

"We built our own home service businesses, sold them, and watched private equity make most of the money. We have no interest in repeating that — and neither should you. Our team has done this exact roll-up model 81 times in healthcare. We know how the exit works, what buyers want, and how to build a platform that commands real multiples. The electrical industry is the same story, earlier in the chapter."

Companies Built and Sold

Our founders have built and exited three companies from scratch. They understand what buyers actually scrutinize — because they've been sellers themselves.
