Detailed Information
Facilities:
No facilities. Workspace and lab are located in a building on a rural, commercial property.
Competition:
Major competitors are all large companies that work on large, lengthy projects. The market to develop small and medium projects is much greater and will allow for exponential growth. However, the client has long been able to out-compete and outclass any competing service provider in terms of looking beyond “quick fixes” and providing long-term solutions to the testing equipment industry.
Growth & Expansion:
Recent hiring of salespeople and a project manager has shown the benefits of good processes, but a backlog is developing. The market for qualified and certified testing facilities grew substantially in 2019, and is expected to increase further by 2024. Expected growth will be generated by servicing testing equipment at new and expanded production lines within big industry. In understanding this demand, the Company has been able to create products that can compete head-to-head with any other testing provider while maintaining a branded service profile.
Financing:
TBD upon acceptable structure and terms.
Support & Training:
The Seller will work with a Buyer on an executive; engineering level to ensure future success.
Reason for Selling:
To afford the infrastructure needed to take the processes to the next level in both reputation and profitability.
