A New York precision manufacturing company sold for $3.5M at 4x EBITDA. Precision manufacturers with certified quality systems, capable equipment and repeat customers are in steady demand from strategic buyers, private equity add-ons and individual operators.
Buyers look at how much revenue comes from the top customers. A spread of repeat accounts across industries protects value.
Certifications such as ISO 9001, AS9100 or ISO 13485 open doors to aerospace, defense and medical device work and signal a documented process.
The age and capability of CNC and inspection equipment, and how much capacity remains, tell a buyer what growth will cost.
A trained team that stays after closing is often the deciding factor for a buyer in a tight labor market.
We start with a valuation grounded in closed deals, then recast the financials and build the confidential information memorandum buyers will review.
The business is presented anonymously to qualified buyers from our network of 8,100+ and on major marketplaces. Buyers sign an NDA before they learn the name.
We run several buyers through the process at the same time, so letters of intent arrive close together and price is set by competition.
We manage diligence requests, keep the deal on schedule and work with the owner's attorney and CPA through closing.
Manufacturing businesses are usually valued on a multiple of EBITDA. The manufacturing deals on our record sold between 3.6x and 4.2x EBITDA, including this $3.5M New York precision manufacturer at 4x.
Larger manufacturers adding capability or capacity, private equity backed manufacturing platforms making add-on acquisitions, and experienced operators buying their first company.
Heavy reliance on one or two customers, aging equipment that needs replacement soon, an owner who is the only person who can quote or program jobs, and financials that mix personal and business expenses.
Most of our transactions close in 6 to 9 months, and most clients receive a letter of intent within 60 days.
