I recently spoke with the owners of an established energy efficiency business based in Canada that's now exploring a sale or strategic investment. The company specializes in manufacturing and installing energy-efficient lighting systems (primarily LED) for large commercial and industrial facilities across Canada, with a growing presence in the U.S.
Key Highlights:
- Proven model: They deliver guaranteed energy savings of 30%–100% annually for clients.
- Two-owner structure: One leads sales, the other handles operations and technical execution.
- Team of approximately 10 employees, including sales, admin, bookkeeping, warehouse, and project management staff.
- Supported by 18 contracted electricians for installations.
- U.S. expansion underway: they've begun hiring U.S.-based sales reps and are seeking a partner to accelerate growth.
They're specifically interested in connecting with strategic investors or buyers in the U.S. who can bring industry knowledge, distribution channels, or capital to help scale operations.
