Due diligence
What to Look For
Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Customer Mix and Order Stability
- Ask for a customer list showing top accounts, how long each has been active, and what their ordering pattern looks like.
- Manufacturing businesses with scheduled purchase orders, repeat production runs, and customers spread across several industries are far more stable than shops dependent on a single large customer or lumpy project work.
- Revenue spread across automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial clients means a slowdown in one sector doesn't hurt the whole business.
- Ask how long the top three customers have been ordering and whether any are on formal supply agreements.
Equipment Condition and Capabilities
- Ask for a full equipment list with age, maintenance history, and hours on major machines.
- Condition matters more than age — a well-maintained older CNC with documented service records is more valuable than a newer machine with no history.
- In-house capabilities like heat treatment, precision grinding, or in-house design protect margins and keep customers from going elsewhere.
Quality Certifications
- Ask for current audit records, renewal dates, and the steps required after a change of ownership.
- Certifications like ISO 9001, AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 13485 take years and real investment to earn.
- For buyers looking to serve aerospace, automotive, defense, or medical customers, acquiring a business that already holds these certifications means you skip that multi-year process of earning them from scratch.
Workforce Stability and Documentation
- Ask which people are critical and what their plans are post-sale.
- Skilled machinists, welders, and production leads are among the hardest roles to fill in any market.
- A shop manager who handles daily production and quoting without the owner is what separates a business that transfers smoothly from one that doesn't.
Intellectual Property and Formulas
- Ask what the company owns outright and how that IP is protected and transferable.
- Proprietary product designs, chemical formulas, or patented processes assigned to the company can be as valuable as the equipment itself.
- For electronics manufacturers, chemical companies, and textile businesses with licensed agreements, this is one of the most important early diligence questions.

EBITDA
Quality certifications, experienced team, diversified customer base
The spread reflects equipment condition and capital needs, the presence of certifications and proprietary capabilities, how diversified the customer base is, and whether the business runs without the owner on the shop floor every day.
What drives a premium
Active quality certifications like ISO, AS9100, IATF 16949, or ISO 13485 that transfer with the business
Customers across multiple industries with multi-year purchase order history and no single account above 15-20% of revenue
Experienced shop floor team with documented processes and a manager who runs production independently
Proprietary designs, formulas, or in-house capabilities that competitors cannot quickly replicate
