Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Contract Backlog and Pipeline

  • Ask for a current list of active contracts alongside any signed agreements for future work.
  • Signed contracts with milestone billing give you revenue you can count on from day one, rather than a pipeline of bids you're hoping to win.
  • Understanding the bid pipeline and historical win rate helps you think through what the business can generate in years two and three.

Equipment Condition and Utilization

  • Ask for an inventory list with age, operating hours, and inspection records for every major piece of equipment.
  • High utilization rates tell you the equipment is earning its keep and that the business has enough work to keep it busy.
  • Well-maintained equipment with documented service records means you won't face surprise capital costs right after closing.

Bonding Capacity and Prequalifications

  • Ask about current bonding limits, the history with the surety company, and any prequalification approvals already in place with utilities or general contractors.
  • Bonding capacity is often what separates a business that can bid on large projects from one that has to pass them up.
  • A clean bonding record with meaningful single and aggregate limits means you can start pursuing bigger work from day one.

Crew Tenure and Licensing

  • Ask for a list of key operators, electricians, and project managers with their tenure and active licenses.
  • Long-tenured crews bring institutional knowledge and customer relationships that stay with the business rather than walking out the door.
  • In power and energy services, your people are both your capacity and your safety record, so understanding who plans to stay matters a lot.

FAQ

Power Generation Business Acquisition

What should I look for when buying a power generation business?

Start with the contract backlog and equipment list. You want signed work in hand, not just a pipeline of bids, and equipment with maintenance records that tell you what you're actually inheriting. From there, look at crew tenure and licensing and confirm what the bonding situation looks like. A business with an operations team that runs projects without the owner on every job site is the setup most buyers on Rejigg get excited about. Browse power generation businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's available.

How much does a power generation business cost?

Most power generation businesses sell for 3 to 7 times annual profit. Owner-operated companies where the owner is still running jobs tend to trade at the lower end of that range. Businesses with an operations team in place, a strong backlog, and active bonding capacity can reach 6 to 7 times. Use the SBA loan calculator to model what different purchase prices look like in monthly payments.

How do I evaluate a power generation business before buying?

Ask for three years of financials with revenue broken out between construction, service, and equipment work. Then review the contract backlog, equipment list with service records, and a team roster showing tenure and licenses. Ask to see the bonding history and any prequalification letters in place. Budget to see the business operating during an active project so you can meet the field team and watch the operation run.

What due diligence questions should I ask about a power generation business?

Good starting points: What is the current signed backlog and what's the expected win rate on bids in progress? Who holds the contractor licenses and what happens to them in a sale? What is the bonding limit, who is the surety, and has there ever been a claim? Which operators or project leads are most essential to retaining customers? How much of the owner's time goes to project management versus business development? What does equipment utilization look like and when were the last major maintenance cycles?

Where can I find power generation businesses for sale?

Rejigg lists power generation and energy services businesses that have been individually sourced and vetted. You can browse power generation businesses for sale on Rejigg and connect directly with sellers. Listings include financial details and ownership information so you can filter for what fits your criteria.

How do performance bonds affect buying a power generation business?

Bonding determines what projects you can bid on from day one. When you buy a business with active bonding capacity and a clean surety history, you inherit the ability to pursue contracts that would otherwise require years to qualify for. Ask for the current single and aggregate bonding limits, the name of the surety, and the complete bond history. A business that has never had a claim and carries meaningful capacity is worth more than one with a spotty record or a surety relationship that needs rebuilding.

How does equipment ownership affect the value and financing of a power generation acquisition?

Equipment is a major tangible asset that can support SBA or conventional financing, which matters when you're structuring the deal. Ask for the full inventory with current valuations, loan or lease balances, and lien status. Well-maintained equipment with years of useful life adds to the collateral picture and reduces the capital you'd need to spend in year one. Heavily depreciated or heavily financed equipment has the opposite effect.
