How a deal works.
We broker existing power equipment between the people who own it and the people who need it. Here is every step, in order.
- 01
First call
Owners, builders or their advisorsA short call. For a seller: the unit, its records and why it's idle. For a buyer: the size, site, fuel and date you need power. We tell you plainly whether we can help.
- 02
Fee agreement and checks
SellerBefore any buyer hears your name or site, you sign a fee agreement with us. We check ownership and match the unit's serials and records against public data, before any buyer sees it.
- 03
A short summary first
BuyerBuyers who fit see a summary: type, size, year, condition, the state it sits in and a price range. No names, serials or site.
- 04
The NDA
BuyerA buyer who wants more signs a non-disclosure agreement. Then they get serials, records, photos and the site.
- 05
Introduction, inspection, contract
Both sidesWe introduce both sides in writing. The buyer sends a letter of intent and hires an independent inspector, then buyer and seller sign the purchase contract. We keep it moving.
- 06
Close
Both sidesWe recommend escrow for the payment. The unit moves on the agreed schedule, and our success fee is paid at close.
Success fee, paid at close, nothing up front.
The fee is set in a written agreement before any introduction, and that agreement names who pays it. On most of our deals it is the buyer. Both sides know it from the start.
Nobody pays us to list a unit, run a search or take a call. If the deal doesn't close, we aren't paid.
What we won't do
- Push a unit
We don't own any stock, so we have no reason to sell you the wrong one.
- Share a seller's name early
No name, site or serial goes out before a signed agreement.
- Inspect or guarantee equipment
We're brokers. Independent inspectors check the unit, and the contract is between buyer and seller.
- Charge up front
No listing fees, retainers or search fees.
Questions
Why use a broker instead of calling dealers?
Dealers sell what they own. We don't own anything, so we look across owners who aren't advertising: utilities, independent power producers, canceled projects and sites that have closed. You hear about units that never reach a dealer's list.
Who pays your fee?
The fee is set in a written agreement before any introduction, and that agreement names who pays it. On most of our deals it is the buyer. It is paid at close.
Do you buy or own equipment?
No. We never take title to a unit. The purchase contract is between the buyer and the seller.
Do you work outside the US?
Yes, case by case. Every party is checked against US sanctions lists before an introduction.
What if the unit needs work?
Many idle units do. We share what we know, the buyer's inspector checks it, and any repair is agreed between buyer and seller. We don't refurbish.
How long does a deal take?
It depends on records, approvals and removal. Some units need a grid operator's release before they can be taken out of service and moved. On the first call we'll tell you what stands in the way.
Is what I tell you confidential?
Yes. A seller's name, site and serials go out only after a signed agreement, and a buyer's search stays private.
