Sell Your Manufacturing Business

Manufacturing businesses require a valuation that separates the value of your equipment and facility from the value of your customer relationships, processes, and workforce — buyers pay very differently for each. Tangent Brokerage prepares a confidential valuation that captures both, then markets your business to strategic and financial buyers actively looking to acquire production capacity. With 35 years of combined brokerage experience and SBA lender relationships, we manage due diligence and negotiation while you keep production running.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you separate equipment value from business value in a manufacturing sale?

We value your equipment and facility (hard assets) separately from your customer relationships, processes, and trained workforce (goodwill), because strategic and financial buyers pay very differently for each — a buyer may pay near book value for equipment but a real multiple for a documented, transferable customer base.

What buyer types are active for manufacturing businesses?

Both strategic buyers — competitors or adjacent manufacturers looking to add capacity or product lines — and financial buyers, including private equity and individual buyers using SBA financing, depending on your revenue size and customer mix.

How does customer concentration affect my valuation?

Heavy reliance on one or two customers is one of the biggest discounts buyers apply in manufacturing deals. If feasible, diversifying revenue in the 12–24 months before a sale materially improves your outcome.
