Frequently Asked Questions

What separates a premium shop from a commodity shop in a buyer's eyes?

Certified welders, specialized equipment capability, and a customer base diversified across a few different industries. A shop that's a commodity fabricator for one industry is valued more conservatively than one with diversified, specialty work.

How is customer concentration handled?

We document it clearly in the valuation and address it proactively with prospective buyers, rather than letting it surface as a surprise during due diligence — transparency here tends to produce better offers, not worse ones.

What's a typical multiple for a welding or fabrication shop?

Most fall in the 1.5x–5x SDE range, with diversified, certified shops toward the top and single-customer or heavily owner-dependent shops toward the bottom.
