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
Exit on your terms
