Services / Sell Your Electrical Company
Sell your electrical company to a buyer who reads the service board.
RockHaven Capital buys electrical contracting companies directly from their owners.
Service and maintenance work repeats, while construction work runs in cycles. We weigh the two differently, and we will show you how.
Who We Buy From
The electrical companies we buy
Electrical companies split between service work and construction work. The strongest companies we see run a service base with construction layered on top.
Bid work alone makes revenue hard to predict. A service book gives a buyer something to stand on between projects.
Residential service
Panel work, troubleshooting, and home service calls. A steady residential book keeps trucks busy between larger jobs.
Commercial service and maintenance
Ongoing service for offices, retail, and facilities under standing arrangements. These accounts call first and bid last.
Construction and tenant build-out
Project work for builders and commercial tenants. We value it most when service revenue covers the slow months.
Lighting and specialty services
Lighting upgrades, generators, and EV charging work. Specialty lines add margin to a standard service base.

What's My Business Worth? Book a CallWhat We Look At
Five things we check first
An electrical company proves its cash flow through its service records and its backlog. These five checks show us the mix a buyer actually receives.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
We buy in that size range. A company in that range fields several crews and a dispatcher or office lead.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
It must show in the filed returns. We separate service margins from project margins before we price either one.
-
Service work under the project work
Repeat service accounts are the steadiest revenue in this trade. We look at how much of the year they cover on their own.
-
Journeymen who run jobs without you
Crews should complete work to code while you estimate and manage. A foreman who passes inspections without drama carries real value.
-
The master license, in the open from day one
An electrical company operates under a master license held by its qualifier of record. When the qualifier stays under a written agreement, the license remains in force through the sale and the deal stays workable. We name who holds it and how it continues before price is discussed.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
Electrical owners often assume a buyer must already hold their license. Here is what changes when you sell direct.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You meet the firm that would own your company. Your bids and customer list are not shown around during a listing.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your electricians stay on their crews
Journeymen are the company in the customer's eyes. Your team keeps its roles after a sale in most cases.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
Qualifier continuity, planned early
We build the license plan around your qualifier staying in writing. That planning happens before contracts, not after problems.
The license question answered before it can cost you the deal. -
Service revenue priced as service
We value the repeat book separately from bid work. You hear how each side of the mix moved the number.

The listed route, by the numbers
Listing an electrical company puts your crews and your backlog in front of rivals for months. These figures lay out the usual shape of that route.
