Deal Analysis and Structure: Manufacturing with real estate and contracted revenue

I have questions for this wonderful group ⁠- If you are buying a manufacturing business where real estate is owned by the business. How did you structure your deal ? Did you rent to buy or did you buy it as part of the deal? - ⁠⁠If the company that you are acquiring has contracted revenue for the coming year and it is hire then there previous revenue, do you account for that ? If yes, if you could give an example of how you managed it

DealStats at the top of the page redacted provides financials including real estate as well as if a lease was involved for businesses that have sold. All industries. Have you used the database? These comparables will give you exactly what other similar businesses have sold for, multiples, and more. Message me if I can help with any questions.

^redacted‌, ^redacted‌, and ^redacted‌ provided solid points above. Definitely get a commercial real estate broker's opinion of value during due diligence (find one who specializes in industrial). Depending on the type of manufacturing, you should also strongly consider having a Phase 1 environmental site assessment completed on the property if you plan to purchase it. Lenders will likely require it as part of their due diligence, and depending on the findings it could reveal a lot of potential issues that will impact the deal negotiations and economics. If issues are found during Phase 1 (and subsequent Phase 2), you should get the seller to remediate them before transferring ownership of the property.
