Acquire Manufacturing Firm & Financing

I want to purchase an established metal-, machinery-, or industrial-parts manufacturing company and then step in to run it full-time. To make that happen, I need end-to-end guidance—from spotting the right target through closing day and securing the loan that funds the deal. Here’s what I expect you to handle: • Sourcing and screening viable manufacturing businesses that already have solid cash flow and a documented operating history. • Valuation, due-diligence checklists, and red-flag analysis so I understand exactly what I’m buying. • Structuring and negotiating an offer that protects me while keeping the seller engaged. • Preparing the full loan package (projections, business plan, collateral schedules, lender presentations) and navigating bank, SBA, or asset-based financing to approval. • Coordinating attorneys, accountants, and any third-party inspectors up to closing. Deliverables are straightforward: a shortlist of qualified targets, a detailed due-diligence and valuation report for the chosen company, a lender-ready financing packet, and ongoing deal support until the purchase agreement is signed and funds are disbursed. Experience with manufacturing M&A, SBA 7(a) or 504 loans, and financial modeling tools such as Excel, QuickBooks, or LivePlan is strongly preferred. If you can bring relevant industry contacts or prior closings in the metal or machinery sector, even better. I intend to move quickly once the right opportunity appears, so please outline your approach, estimated timeline, and recent success stories securing financing for similar acquisitions.
