Comparison
Exitr vs raw state license lists for buying electrical contractors
Last updated
Use Exitr if you want electrical contractors ranked by how ready they may be to sell, with the public record behind each score. Use a raw state license list if you only need every licensed name or license numbers.
The short answer
Pick Exitr if you want a ranked shortlist of firms that may be ready to sell. Pick a raw state list if you just need every licensed name. Exitr scores each firm on public signals. It shows the record behind each score. A raw list gives no ranking.
What Exitr covers
Exitr tracks 22,826 electrical contractors. It found 272 new signals this week. (Source: Exitr coverage data, this week.)
What our deal tracker shows
Our tracker lists 55 public electrical contractor deals. 33 of them happened in the last 12 months. 40 different buyers made them. 16 were PE platforms. 16 were strategic buyers. 7 were sponsors. 1 was another type. (Source: Exitr deal tracker, latest deal 2026-10-05.)
When a raw list fits better
A raw state list may be the better choice in some cases. One case is when you need license numbers for each firm. Another is when you want every licensed firm in a state, not a shortlist. A third is when you only need names to check against your own records.
