How much is my electrical business worth?

Most electrical businesses sell for between 4x and 7x EBITDA depending on NICEIC approval, recurring contract revenue, team qualifications, owner dependency, and EV charging capability. We provide a free, confidential valuation to establish a realistic range for your specific business.

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

No. Our initial valuation and consultation are covered by a written fee agreement. We operate on a success-based fee structures available basis, which means you only pay a fee if your business is successfully sold.

Will my staff and clients find out I am selling?

Confidentiality is fundamental to our process. We use anonymous business profiles when approaching buyers, and all interested parties sign NDAs before receiving any identifying information.

Does NICEIC approval affect my valuation?

Yes, significantly. NICEIC approval enables Part P self-certification and provides third-party quality assurance. Buyers treat it as a baseline quality indicator and businesses with NICEIC approval consistently achieve higher multiples.

Sector Specialists

The Electrical Market

EV charging and testing demand are reshaping the sector.

The UK has around 19,180 exit-ready electrical contracting businesses, and private equity activity in the sector is accelerating. EV charger installations grew by over 40 percent in 2025, the Electrical Safety Standards 2020 are driving sustained testing and inspection demand, and the data centre construction boom is creating more work than ever for specialist contractors. For independent electrical business owners, this represents a window of opportunity where valuations are at historic highs, reinforced by the BADR tax change in April 2026.

How We Work

A clear, structured process.

Free Confidential Valuation

Every conversation starts with understanding your business. We assess your turnover, contract book, team qualifications, and growth trajectory to establish a realistic valuation range. No cost, no obligation, completely confidential.

Qualified Buyer Matching

We maintain an active register of pre-qualified buyers: PE-backed platforms, national electrical contracting groups, and trade acquirers specifically seeking electrical businesses. We match your business to the right buyers and create competitive tension.

Managed Sale Process

From initial valuation through to completion, we manage every stage. NDAs, buyer meetings, negotiations, due diligence, and legal coordination. You focus on running your business while we handle the sale.

Sector Expertise

We speak your language.

We understand the difference between a business running 200 domestic rewires a month and one managing 50 commercial maintenance contracts. We know what NICEIC approval means for your workforce, why NAPIT registration matters to buyers, and how ECA membership for EV charging installation transforms your valuation.

We understand fleet condition, route density, the split between reactive callouts and planned maintenance, and why a business with six engineers and a trained office manager is worth more than one where the owner still answers the phone. This sector knowledge means we position your business correctly and attract the right buyers from day one.
