Manufacturing / industrial

A 4× manufacturer with the right data room is a 7× manufacturer.

What's discounting your business today

Three things buyers will quietly knock the multiple for.

Tribal-knowledge operations.

Schedules in a foreman's head and a spreadsheet — buyers price the risk of him leaving.

Stale ERP, dirty data.

If COGS by SKU isn't trustworthy, every quality of earnings finding pushes the bid down.

Customer concentration.

Top customer > 25% of revenue without a stickiness story = automatic multiple haircut.

What buyers in 2026 will pay extra for

The four signals that lift the multiple.

OEE and throughput dashboards

Live visibility into utilization, scrap, and changeover — a sellable operating system.

Diversified end-markets

No single customer or end-market over a defensible threshold.

AI-assisted planning

Forecasting, MRP, and quality copilots that compound margin year over year.

Documented succession

A second-line ops leader, not a 64-year-old founder pulling the wagon.
