Approved Patent WITH Working Field Tested Prototypes photo

Approved Patent WITH Working Field Tested Prototypes

NY, US

CEP presents the opportunity to acquire or license a granted US patent for a field-proven mechanical security device designed to prevent the theft of tracked power-operated machinery, including skid steer loaders and excavators. The revenue figure is a conservative representation of less than 1% of market share. Heavy equipment theft costs the US construction industry an estimated $300 million to over $1 billion annually, with skid steers ranking among the most-stolen machines and fewer than 25% ever recovered. Existing deterrents, GPS trackers, ignition locks, cable locks, fail to physically stop a theft in progress. This product does. The Guarded Track Lock threads through the drive sprocket of a tracked machine, physically preventing movement in any direction. Working prototypes have been produced and tested, the device takes over two hours to remove, causing thieves to abandon the attempt and move on. At approximately $85 to manufacture and a target retail price of $500–$800, the margin profile is exceptional. A buyer may license the patent with full inventor support, or purchase it outright. Either structure is welcomed. Pricing is market-determined, offers invited.

What to know about manufacturing business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating manufacturing business acquisitions.

Inspect the equipment and the capex runway

Tour the floor with someone who knows the machines. Ask the age, maintenance history, and remaining life of every major asset, and budget for the replacements the seller has been deferring.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Commonly yes. Tangible assets help with collateral, and qualification depends on clean financials, verifiable returns, and a seller who meets program requirements on the business side. Additionally, if real estate makes up a large component of the business's value, you can use a SBA 504 loan to finance the transaction.
