The eight factors that determine your business value.
Every electrical business is different. These are the key areas buyers and valuers focus on when assessing what your company is worth.
How the calculator sets the multiple
Electrical businesses usually sell on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA: a buyer multiplies a year's profit before interest, tax, and the write-down of equipment, vehicles and other assets by an agreed number. The calculator applies its own working assumptions to the figures you enter: it starts from a base multiple, adjusts it for the size of the business, and moves it up for each strength it finds, within a set ceiling.
The strengths it looks for are recurring maintenance contracts, testing and compliance work, NICEIC, NAPIT or ECA accreditation, EV charging capability, public sector framework agreements, a team of qualified electricians, and a business that runs without its owner.
The factors below are the ones buyers and valuers look at most closely. Your range is a starting point: a buyer's offer depends on your accounts, your contracts and the buyer's own checks.
These multiples are the calculator's own working assumptions, not published figures or a record of completed sales.
Maintenance Contracts
Recurring revenue from service contracts is one of the most valuable assets in an electrical business. Buyers pay a premium for predictable, repeating income with high retention rates.
Qualified Electricians
The number and quality of qualified electricians directly affects capacity and value. Qualified engineers are scarce, and buyers value businesses with a strong, registered workforce.
EV Charging and ECA Capability
ECA membership and active EV charger installation capability show a buyer the business is ready for newer work. The public EV charging network kept growing in 2025, and installation experience with a qualified team is hard for a buyer to build from scratch.
NAPIT Certification
NAPIT is one of the competent person schemes that let registered installers self-certify notifiable electrical work in homes instead of getting building regulations approval, the Part P route in England.
Geographic Density
Concentrated customer bases reduce travel time and increase engineer productivity. Route density is a hidden multiplier that acquirers, particularly groups owned by private equity firms that buy companies to grow and sell on, actively look for.
Fleet Condition
Well-maintained, branded vehicles and equipment reduce the buyer's post-acquisition capital expenditure. A modern fleet signals a well-run operation and supports a higher valuation.
Owner Dependency
Businesses that can operate without the owner command significantly higher multiples, meaning a buyer pays more times the yearly profit. If you are on the tools every day and the business cannot function without you, buyers will discount accordingly.
Commercial vs Residential Mix
Commercial contracts tend to be larger, longer-term, and more predictable. A strong commercial client base often supports a higher multiple than purely residential work.
How we work out the figures.
The figures come from the multiples this calculator works with for UK electrical business sales. It applies them to the turnover and profit you give it, then adjusts for your other answers.
These multiples are the calculator's own working assumptions, not published figures or a record of completed sales, so the result is an indicative range rather than a formal valuation. A formal valuation needs a look at your accounts and how the business runs.
We last reviewed these multiples in July 2026.
Your business is worth more than a guess.
"An indicative range is the start of the conversation. What your business is genuinely worth is revealed by real buyer competition, and that is what we create."Simon Read, Founder & Managing Director
