Florida contractors serve a broad mix of residential, commercial, institutional, industrial and infrastructure customers. For owners, buyer interest ultimately depends less on the headline revenue number and more on the quality, visibility and transferability of the earnings behind it. --- BASED ON 41 COMPLETED FLORIDA TRANSACTIONS AND INDUSTRY RESEARCH FLORIDA TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT ### What Florida Businesses Have Actually Sold For The 41 completed Florida electrical contractor transactions reviewed averaged approximately $2.46 million in annual revenue, $586,000 in discretionary earnings and a $1.44 million sold price. The average sold-price-to-discretionary-earnings multiple was 2.57x, and businesses sold for an average of 77.9% of asking price. The 390-day average time on market reinforces that a controlled business transition is usually a process, not an event.

Discretionary earnings refers to seller’s discretionary earnings as reported by the transaction source. Averages are unweighted and reflect reported data only. Historical transaction multiples are market evidence, not a valuation of any individual business. Your business could sell above or below these averages depending on earnings quality, owner dependence, customer concentration, staffing, deal structure and buyer type. This brief is informational and is not a valuation, appraisal, or tax, legal or accounting advice. BUYER VIEW ### What Buyers Pay Attention To - Revenue mix across new construction, service and repair, maintenance, retrofit, upgrades and specialty systems. - Customer concentration, backlog quality and exposure to individual general contractors, developers or institutional customers. - Estimating discipline, job costing and the ability to compare estimated labor and material performance with actual results. - Licensed personnel, foremen, estimators, project managers and the depth of the organization beyond the owner. - Repeat service, maintenance relationships, financial visibility and manageable working-capital requirements. OWNER VIEW ### What Owners Can Do Now - Separate service, maintenance, construction and specialty revenue and understand the gross profit contribution of each. - Build management and technical depth beyond the owner, especially around licensing, estimating and customer relationships. - Improve backlog reporting, job costing and customer concentration reporting so future buyers can understand risk quickly.
