by a searcher from University of Colorado at Boulder

Has anyone successfully acquired a manufacturing biz in the $1M-$2M EBITDA range who would be willing to share lessons learned along the way? Kicking off a search and would like to talk through industry learning curve, overcoming customer concentration, growth lever opportunities realized, and hiring skilled labor. Thanks.

A few important considerations from the legal perspective are manufacturing, distribution and supply chain contracts, and the quality of those and the flow of obligations and rights so they don't create cash flow issues or production issues; key man employee contracts; real estate matters such as assumption of a lease or a new lease as well as the factors ^Searchfunder member‌ mentioned above. Would be happy to discuss this further. ‌

Hiring qualified machinist/tool makers etc. should be one of the main concerns you need to be able to address on a very robust level, it's no joke and only getting worse.
