Why Work With CGK to Sell Your Manufacturing Business?
We understand what makes your business valuable.
From precision machining and metal fabrication to custom plastics, electronics, and food or beverage production, manufacturing companies require specialized knowledge to market and sell successfully. We analyze your company’s financials, competitive positioning, and growth potential to find the right buyer — not just any buyer.
We bring qualified buyers.
Our team has access to a broad database of strategic acquirers, private equity groups, and individual investors looking specifically for manufacturing companies. These buyers are pre-qualified and serious.
We ensure confidentiality.
We know how important it is to maintain discretion — with employees, customers, and suppliers. Our proven process protects your identity until buyers are properly vetted and NDAs are in place.
We maximize value.
We use a proven, data-driven process to negotiate the best possible terms for your business. In most cases, you’ll receive multiple offers — giving you leverage and options.
Confidentiality is Key
We understand the impact that a premature disclosure can have on your business. Our entire process is designed to maintain discretion, only disclosing details to serious, vetted buyers who are under NDA.
How Much Is Your Manufacturing Business Worth?
We offer a confidential valuation process that takes into account
- Your company’s revenue and profits
- Growth prospects
- Asset base
- Customer concentration
- And more.
If your company generates $1.5 million or more in annual revenue and $300,000 or more in cash flow, contact us today to begin the process.
