Acquisitions
Sell your energy brokerage
For owner-operators with a commercial book and no succession plan. A confidential review of what your renewal book is actually worth, with the arithmetic shown.
What we would buy
Retained gross contribution and renewal access. Not headline revenue, not a domain, not a lead list. If a book's value depends on customers who cannot be contacted under valid permissions or contracts that cannot be assigned, that value does not transfer and we will say so early rather than late.
What a review looks at
- Customer-level commission statements, ideally 24 months, reconciled to bank deposits
- Contract expiry dates and meter data
- Assignability and change-of-control terms in supplier and customer agreements
- Permission and consent records — whether customers can lawfully be contacted after transfer
- Complaint and clawback history
- Concentration: no single customer should dominate the book
- Realistic renewal retention, measured rather than asserted
How we structure
Asset purchase where practical. A modest proportion paid at close after verification, the majority as a seller note and earn-out tied to collected contribution over 24 to 36 months, and a holdback against compliance and data quality. Seller transition support is tied to payment because renewals need the relationship, not just the file.
We do not pay a multiple of gross customer electricity spend, and we do not pay on unverified book revenue.
What tends to matter more than sellers expect
Two things. The first is how much of a headline number rests on accounts that have already effectively churned — still on the statement, but with no relationship, no current permission and no realistic path to a renewal conversation. The second is assignability: supplier and customer agreements that contain change-of-control language nobody read at signing, and which determine whether the economics transfer at all.
Neither is a reason not to sell. Both are reasons to find out early, because a diligence process that discovers them late collapses a deal that a properly structured one would have completed.
Why we would rather talk before you are ready
Most of what makes a book valuable is created in the two years before a sale, not during it. Customer-level commission reconciliation, clean permission records, documented renewal outcomes and a contract calendar are all things that take time to accumulate and cannot be assembled retrospectively. A conversation now is worth more to you than a valuation later.
Not acquiring yet. We will not buy a book before our own operating system can reconcile revenue to the meter, import contracts and renewals cleanly, and contact acquired customers under valid permissions. Buying before that is how acquired books churn. If you are planning an exit in the next couple of years, a conversation now is still worth having.
