Too many M&A advisors tell prospective manufacturing sellers what they want to hear about the valuation of their business. That is not a valid valuation method. If a broker is providing a seller with a number that seems too good to be true, it probably is. It is equally dangerous that a broker pricing a listing is too low so they can sell it quickly.
The M&A professional should be able to speak intelligently about current market conditions and trading multiples. Even though valuation can be subjective, and include art as well as science, there needs to be logic and generally accepted principles applied.
The Accelerated Way
At Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers valuing a business is more than just the numbers. As experts at identifying those aspects of a business that make it unique, the manufacturing expertise allows the positioning of the manufacturing enterprise in the marketplace to achieve the best results.
Recently, Accelerated Manufacturing Brokers listed a Midwest industrial equipment repair manufacturing company that had been previously listed with a local generalist firm for four years. In less than a year they achieved a result that was more than 2.5 times the only offer the prior broker achieved.
Additionally, the seller received multiple offers from which to choose. Providing a seller with facts and the reasoning behind the recommended list price is a matter of integrity.
