Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of Batavia businesses do you sell?

Batavia's manufacturing heritage still shows in its business base — fabricators, machine shops, and light industrial companies — alongside contractors, home services, and the downtown retail and service businesses along the Fox River.

How is a small manufacturing business valued?

Buyers separate hard assets — machines, tooling, vehicles, inventory — from goodwill in your customer relationships, processes, and trained workforce, and pay very differently for each. A documented, transferable customer base earns a real multiple on earnings; equipment on its own generally trades nearer to market value.

When is the right time to start planning a sale?

Earlier than most owners think — ideally twelve to twenty-four months out. That window is long enough to clean up financials, reduce customer concentration, document processes, and reduce how much the business depends on you personally, all of which move the price. Selling on short notice means selling with whatever you happen to have.
