I've been reviewing an electrical contractor business. I like a lot about it, but there are concerns about no recurring customers, project-based, construction, etc. I've heard the acquiring minds episode, is there anyone else out there with experience buying one of these companies that would be open to a chat?

I'd love to hear your pros/cons or if I should run away.

Hi Wade, I've been under LOI with an electrical contractor for a few months and am hopefully just a few weeks from closing. Happy to chat to share what I've learned during this process. Feel free to DM me.

I ended up killing the deal. Margins were unsustainable and the owner wasn't realistic on pricing.
