Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Design and IP Ownership
- The most important question in an electronics manufacturing acquisition is whether the company owns its product designs, software, and tooling, or builds to customer specifications.
- When the company owns the designs, it has pricing power and customer loyalty that a pure contract manufacturer can't match.
- Get this question answered clearly and documented before you get deep into evaluation.
Quality Certifications
- Aerospace certifications like AS9100, medical device certifications like ISO 13485, and ITAR registration took years and real investment to earn.
- Certifications that are current with a clean recent audit put you in a fundamentally different competitive position than a company starting from scratch.
- Ask which certifications exist, when each was last audited, and what the renewal timeline looks like.
Repeat Customer Patterns
- Ask what percentage of revenue came from existing customers in each of the last three years.
- Electronics manufacturers where 80 to 90 percent of purchases come from accounts that reorder regularly have built-in revenue stability.
- Multiple orders per year from the same customers is about as close to subscription revenue as you'll find in hardware.
Supply Chain Resilience
- Ask which components are sourced from a single supplier, what the lead times look like, and what backup options exist for the most critical parts.
- Component concentration is one of the real risks in this space, especially when sourcing overseas.
- Companies with domestic manufacturing capability or multiple qualified sources for key components consistently command stronger valuations.
Production Independence
- Find out how the production floor runs when the founder is out for two weeks.
- When production managers, quality leads, and engineering staff run the operation independently with documented processes, you're buying a real operation.
- When the founder personally handles every customer quote and walks the floor to solve production issues, understand what it will take to distribute that knowledge before you take over.
