Growing electrical contractor with repeat strata and commercial clients, licensed company, experienced staff, fitted vans sold unencumbered and full systems. Share or asset sale.
Revenue
$890,000 pa
Rent
$25,200 pa
Potential
Revenue has grown strongly each year, with repeat work from strata managers and established relationships with commercial builders that now deliver regular, profitable fitout packages. Maintenance contracts and monthly remote monitoring plans provide a recurring base with clear room to grow. Upside for a new owner: convert ad hoc clients to maintenance agreements expand monitoring plans across the security client base, grow the air conditioning work the qualified technicians can already deliver, and build on the authorised appliance repair work
Skills
Suited to a licensed electrician ready to run their own business, or an existing electrical or security contractor adding a Canberra client base. The company holds its own contractor licences and the team includes licensed and accredited technicians, so a buyer who does not hold an ACT electrical contractor licence can appoint a nominee from the existing staff or their own. Day to day, the role is running the team, pricing work and managing client relationships. Full handover and training included.
Hours
Monday to Friday, standard trade hours, with occasional after-hours service work by arrangement.
Lease
Office and warehouse on flexible month-to-month arrangements, fully set up and available to the buyer if wanted.
Employees
Two full-time licensed tradespeople, a full-time apprentice and a part-time service coordinator, with additional apprentices available through group training on short commitments as projects require. Staff are expected to transfer with the business.
Reason for Sale
The owner is relocating interstate with his family in early 2027 for a career move into construction management, and wants the business, its clients and its team to continue under a new owner rather than wind down. The business is offered as a going concern with a full handover.
About the Business
Established Canberra electrical contracting business with turnover approaching $900,000, growing strongly year on year and offered as a going concern.
The business delivers electrical, lighting control, security, data and communications work on commercial fitouts and refurbishments, strata and body corporate maintenance and upgrades, residential service, solar and battery installations, and split system air conditioning. It is also an authorised warranty repairer for several major appliance brands, which brings a steady flow of service calls and new customers. Around half of revenue comes from ongoing relationships: strata managers who send repeat maintenance and upgrade work, and commercial builders who now award regular, profitable fitout packages. Maintenance contracts and monthly remote monitoring plans provide a recurring base with clear room to grow.
The company holds its own contractor licences and the team includes licensed and accredited technicians, so the full range of services continues from day one. The team is two full-time licensed tradespeople, a full-time apprentice and a part-time service coordinator, with additional apprentices available through group training as projects require.
Earnings have been reinvested in the platform: a fleet of fully fitted service vans, including two near-new vans with premium drawer and shelving fitouts and ladder racks, sold unencumbered; a complete job management, accounting, invoice automation and customer database system with three years of job history; an established website, phone numbers, Google reviews and steady inbound enquiry; and a fully set-up office and warehouse available on flexible month-to-month terms.
The sale includes all vehicles with their fitouts, racking and ladders, stock at valuation, systems, customer database, website, phone numbers and brand. Test equipment are excluded. Available as a share sale, keeping the company’s licences in place with a nominee from the existing team or the buyer’s own staff, or as an asset sale. Four weeks of handover is included and further support can be arranged.

History
Founded three years ago by a licensed electrician with a background in commercial electrical and electronic security project management. Started as a one-person operation and grew by winning builder, strata and commercial clients, adding staff, vehicles and systems as the work grew. Revenue doubled in the most recent financial year and the current year is tracking ahead again, with gross margins improving as the work mix has shifted towards service and maintenance.
