Electrical testing
Businesses that test, inspect and maintain electrical systems.
What we explore
Service and testing mix, repeat customer relationships, technician qualifications, safety practices and equipment needs.
Who we help
Built around businesses that keep essential systems working.
Uptime focuses on founder- and family-owned critical infrastructure services businesses. We help owners prepare for a sale, evaluate buyer approaches and manage a deliberate sale process.
Four areas of focus.
These are the businesses we focus on and the questions we explore with owners. They are not assumptions about your company.
Controls & building automation
Controls integrators and building automation system (BAS) service businesses.
What we explore
Service agreements versus installation projects, vendor relationships, installed systems, technician capacity and customer concentration.
Critical power
Service providers supporting generators, UPS systems and power reliability.
What we explore
Maintenance agreements, emergency response commitments, equipment relationships, parts requirements and service coverage.
TAB & commissioning
Testing, adjusting and balancing (TAB), commissioning and building performance services.
What we explore
Project versus repeat work, qualifications, backlog quality, customer relationships and working-capital requirements.
A good fit starts with readiness.
We look for clear ownership authority, meaningful service or repeat-customer revenue, records that can be reconciled, and several credible buyer paths. Your objectives and willingness to participate matter as much as the business itself.
Our initial focus is a sale of control with a straightforward structure. Before accepting a mandate, Daniel reviews financial readiness, risks, the support required and whether Uptime can serve the engagement well. Complex situations need separate scoping.
Outside these four areas, or unsure whether you fit? You can still contact Daniel and use available educational tools. The advisory focus does not restrict access to the website.
