The sale
How it ran
Dalmar Electrical, an electrical contractor in Dallas, came to us 180 days before it closed in October 2019. It was sold to a strategic buyer, found through the same confidential process every company we represent goes through: a blind profile, buyers qualified before they learn the name, and more than one at the table where the company draws them.
What that buyer examined is what any buyer of electrical contractors examines — the factors below, in that order.

Repeat service and maintenance customers earn steadier margins than competitively bid projects. Show the revenue and the margin for each.
Backlog and work in progress
Signed work not yet completed is evidence of next year's earnings. A buyer also checks that jobs in progress are billed and costed accurately.
The master electrician of record
A Texas electrical contractor license is issued by TDLR and depends on a master electrician assigned to the company. If that is you, a successor has to be in place before closing.
