What to know about manufacturing business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating manufacturing business acquisitions.
Quantify customer concentration
Many manufacturers have one or two accounts that make up most of revenue. Get a customer-by-customer breakdown and understand the switching costs that keep them.
Understand the working-capital cycle
Inventory, work-in-process, and receivables tie up real cash. Establish how much working capital the business needs to run and whether it is included in the deal.
Assess workforce and key-person risk
Skilled operators and a plant manager are often hard to replace in the short run. Identify who holds the know-how and what retention looks like after close.
Check environmental and regulatory exposure
Process chemicals, waste streams, and older facilities carry liability. A Phase I assessment and a review of permits and safety history are standard.
Separate real margins from owner add-backs
Scrutinize the add-backs in seller discretionary earnings. Equipment leases, related-party rent, and deferred maintenance can make the margins look better than they are.
