Frequently Asked Questions
How does customer concentration affect a sheet metal contractor's value?
If most of your revenue comes from one or two mechanical contractors or GCs, buyers will discount the multiple to account for that risk. Diversifying your client base before a sale, even modestly, can improve your position.
Does shop and fabrication equipment add value beyond cash flow?
Yes — fabrication equipment condition and shop capacity are assessed alongside your SDE, since a buyer inherits both the cash flow and the capital investment needed, or not needed, to keep producing.
Who typically buys ductwork and sheet metal businesses?
Mechanical contractors looking to bring fabrication in-house, competitors expanding capacity, and individual buyers with a sheet metal or HVAC trade background.
