“EASY FIVE STARS. The Accelerated team has developed an effective process for vetting and connecting qualified buyers with sellers. They are skilled in facilitating and advertising through all phases of the deal in ways that keep the process moving while minimizing surprises. In our case, interest from multiple buyers allows us to focus on best-fit for the future of our company and dedicated employees while meeting financial objectives. Our deal closed on a short timetable with sellers and buyers feeling equally satisfied. I highly recommend Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers.”

“Your staff is unbelievably great. If I had any questions, I could always pick up the phone and get good answers. Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers was there for me with every buyer visit. If there was a telephone call, you were on the call. You held my hand all through and made it really easy.”

“I wanted to send you a thank-you note for, well, everything. But most importantly, thank you Fran and the team for getting this done. I loved working with everyone. Jasmine and Jamie, thanks for bringing the organization needed to close such a deal. And with such class! I’m sure you know how much this meant to me and Jeff. Twenty years of hard work, but all worth it at the end of the day. We should be able to enjoy retirement with no financial worries.”

“I just wanted to say thank you again. Cathy and I are truly appreciative of all your team’s effort and diligence throughout the process. When the largest company in the industry offered to purchase the company to gain our customers and close our plant, I gave you the tall order of finding an acquirer who would keep the jobs in KY. You vetted over 200 companies, granted seven visits and we received six offers. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. We wish you guys the best.”

Why does selling an industrial manufacturing company require specialization?

Low Valuations

Most valuations are based on a backward look at financials. We look at over 175 different data points to determine value, most of which can’t be seen in a tax return.

No competitive process

Lack of competition among buyers means lower prices and slower sales.

Confidentiality, broken

Breaches can damage relationships with employees, customers, and vendors, in turn affecting value.

Find a buyer you can trust

Selling your company isn’t just about the money. It’s emotional, too. We won’t just bring you buyers who can afford to pay what your business is worth. We screen them to make sure they meet standards that can’t be priced.

  • Leave your company — and your loyal labor force — in good hands
  • Preserve long-term employment in your local community

How we help sellers like you

If you own a founder-led or family-run company and care about who buys your business, you need an M&A team that understands the marketplace. For the past 30 years, we’ve been all manufacturing, all the time.

  • We’re commission-based, which means no up-front fees.
  • Our comprehensive valuations are typically much higher than an M&A generalist because we understand what drives value within the manufacturing sectors.

“Someday” comes sooner than you think

It’s easy to ignore planning for retirement while you’re busy running your business. But too many sellers wait until they’re “done” — and realize too late that they can’t retire on their own terms.

  • Buyers often want sellers to stay with a company six to 12 months after closing
  • From start to finish, selling can take anywhere from one to two and a half years
