I turned down a promotion, so the owner is selling the business

Or... if you have enough equipment, contact all the clientele and tell them that even though the business is going, you'll still be available.

Denny and I bill by the hour if you want any more help.

Its a small machine shop, lots of manual lathe work.

That isn't going to be in the millions. You do have to consider that CNC stuff is making the manual stuff not cost effective on production runs. So if you do buy it, you're probably gonna need to upgrade to be competitive. Unless you just have that much one off work.
There's still a big need for small production stuff. My counsins have a shop, been there forever. They still make bank. They have some cnc stuff now though for their regular production stuff.

What he wants to sell it for isnt always close to what he will get... he needs some solid numbers for top dollar. If hes making really good income, why would he sell?

Tread lightly on feasting on his clientele.

If anything goes wrong, I recommend contacting DY & Associates.

Screw buying any lathe shop right now...especially a manual one. The prices have fallen through the floor even at the highly computerized shops.

Can you give the shop name?

[Matt]

yeah, what manual mill shop are we talking about?
