*Special Note: In a victory for small business buyers, the recent $900BB stimulus bill directs the SBA to pay the first 6 months of new SBA 7(a) loans approved between February 1 and September 30, 2021 (up to $9,000/month). Our advice: Don’t wait. Find a quality business and get moving quickly. Banks will be busy this year and buyers that wait until July/August will likely lose out.Â

Growth Opportunities:
(1) Add a Salesforce and Marketing Strategy: Adding a salesforce could allow the Company to proactively acquire new customers while competitors shut down, as well as have a team built around maintaining a strong relationship with existing customers. Retaining existing customers is significantly cheaper than developing new long-term relationships and is something the Company can capitalize on while gaining market share. In addition, the Company’s website was last updated in 2010. By updating the website, the Company’s website traffic may increase, likely resulting in added business. Also, the Company has room to grow in marketing to existing customers, as they currently solely keep in touch by sending bulk emails to customers.
(2) Develop Outsourcing Partnerships with Machine Shops: Some of the Company’s projects that are not as profitable, or are not the Company’s specialty, can be outsourced. By doing so, the Company can gain many benefits that will help increase their business while decreasing operating costs.
(3) Utilize Open Capacity: The Company is currently utilizing 50% of its facility and equipment. By increasing the Company’s usage of the facility and equipment, they will be able to fulfill the uptick in activity and the expected greater market share that will coincide with the previously stated growth opportunities once put into practice. One way to fill the Company’s capacity is to implement a second shift.
