Start your shop sale with Albuquerque Business Brokers Edge and bring the questions below to the people helping you prepare.
Connect the machines to the margin
Match major machines to the jobs they support. Separate equipment you own from leases and financing, and keep maintenance history close to the asset schedule.
A machine purchase may be a large cash expense without describing recurring operating profit. Let your accountant explain the treatment rather than adding it back without evidence.
Track setup time, outside processing and scrap where your records support it. Buyers need to see how quoted work becomes actual earnings.
Explain who can run the work
If quoting, programming or customer approval rests with one person, name that dependency in your planning. Document the process and consider a practical transition period.
Review customer quality requirements and contract terms. An ownership change may raise consent or approval questions that should be resolved before making promises to a buyer.
Keep backlog and inventory separate
Backlog is not the same as completed revenue. Show purchase orders, delivery commitments and the costs still needed to fulfill the work.
Distinguish material owned by customers from company inventory. A clean schedule helps your advisor discuss working capital and avoids treating the same asset as value twice.
