Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Customer Order Book

  • Ask to see the customer list, how many active accounts the shop serves, and whether there are any long-term purchase orders with committed volumes.
  • Shops where a significant portion of revenue comes from scheduled orders with customers who have committed for multiple years give you real visibility into what business looks like after you take over.
  • Understanding whether any single customer represents a large concentration of revenue is equally important.
  • Ask how long the top three customers have been ordering and whether any of those relationships are under contract.

Equipment Condition and Capacity

  • Get a clear picture of the major equipment: what machines are in the shop, how old they are, and whether there's been consistent maintenance.
  • A shop with well-maintained CNC machines, inspection equipment, and documented setup procedures is a very different starting point than one where key equipment is aging and deferred.
  • Understanding current capacity utilization and where the ceiling is also tells you a lot about growth potential.
  • Ask for a maintenance log on any major machine that represents a significant share of shop revenue.

Quality Certifications

  • Certifications like AS9100, IATF 16949, or NADCAP take years and significant investment to earn and open doors with customers who require them.
  • A shop that already has the relevant certifications in place is offering you something extremely expensive and time-consuming to build from scratch.
  • Understand which certifications the business holds, which are company-held versus individually held, and how they transfer as part of the sale.

Skilled Workforce Stability

  • The machinists, programmers, and quality technicians who understand the equipment and the customers are the core of the business.
  • Ask how long the key people have been with the shop, whether setup documentation exists for major jobs, and whether institutional knowledge lives in written form or only in people's heads.
  • Shops with tenured, documented teams transfer far more reliably than those dependent on one or two key individuals.
  • Find out whether any key operators have indicated they plan to stay after a sale.

Revenue Concentration by Customer

  • Understand what percentage of revenue comes from your top three or four customers.
  • Shops with work spread across many accounts in different industries and end markets are more resilient to a single customer pulling back.
  • If there is a large anchor customer, understanding the length of that relationship and whether there are long-term contracts is worth spending time on early.

FAQ

Aerospace & Automotive Manufacturing Business Acquisition

What should I look for when buying an automotive manufacturing business?

Focus on the customer order book, the condition of the equipment, and whether the skilled workers who run the shop are likely to stay. Long-term purchase orders with committed customers, quality certifications already in place, and a documented, tenured workforce are the combination most buyers find compelling. Browse automotive manufacturing businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's currently available.

How much does an automotive manufacturing business cost?

Most automotive manufacturing and precision machining businesses sell for 3 to 8 times their annual profit. The multiple depends on certification status, customer concentration, equipment condition, and how much the shop runs on documented processes versus owner involvement. Shops with strong certifications, diversified customers, and well-maintained equipment tend to land at the higher end. Use the SBA loan calculator to model financing at different price points.

How do I evaluate an automotive manufacturing business before buying?

Start with three years of financials and ask for a clear picture of the customer mix. Then walk the shop floor and talk to the people who actually run the machines. Ask about equipment age and maintenance history, which customers have long-term purchase orders, and whether setup documentation exists for major jobs. Understanding how work flows through the shop and who the key people are is as important as the financial review.

What due diligence questions should I ask about an automotive manufacturing business?

Ask: What percentage of revenue comes from the top three customers, and how long have those relationships been in place? Which quality certifications does the business hold and do they transfer with the sale? What is the age and condition of the major equipment, and are there any deferred maintenance items? Who are the key machinists and programmers, and how long have they been with the shop? Are there any long-term purchase orders with remaining commitments?

Where can I find automotive manufacturing businesses for sale?

Rejigg connects buyers directly with manufacturing business owners. You can browse automotive manufacturing businesses for sale on Rejigg and reach out to owners directly without going through a broker.

Do quality certifications like IATF 16949 transfer when you buy a manufacturing business?

Certifications held by the business entity generally transfer with the sale, though most certifying bodies require notification and a follow-up review process. The timeline and requirements vary by certification and certifying body. For buyers, having these certifications already in place is one of the most valuable aspects of acquiring an established shop, since earning them from scratch takes years and significant resources.

How do I finance an automotive manufacturing business acquisition?

SBA 7(a) loans are commonly used for manufacturing acquisitions and can cover both the purchase price and working capital. Lenders will want to see consistent revenue, manageable customer concentration, and a business that can service the debt. Equipment financing can sometimes be structured separately. Use the SBA loan calculator to estimate monthly payments based on the size of the deal you're considering.
