Business Description
Industry: stampings and machined parts distribution (revenue is almost entirely stampings which is stickier)

Absentee and Remote: Management works less than 5 hours per week (typically 1-2 hours per week) - all fully remotely. Given the company only brokers custom parts, there are no manufacturing operations (other than occasional testing) and the company is very easy to manage. As such, any new owner could focus heavily on sales/marketing (see pipeline below which owner with a full-time job could not capitalize on).

Firm Orders Support Strong Forward-Looking Demand: $555K in firm orders which support most of the forward-looking revenue for the next year. Reported revenue is based on this pipeline given firm orders (annualized) support this. Note: 2025 revenue (and H2 2024) was temporarily impacted by industry-wide tariff adjustments, which have now been resolved, as evidenced by the $555K in current firm orders.

100% Recurring, Stable Demand: Revenue is 100% recurring with tooling that makes it very cumbersome if the customer did want to move business (it would often not work right in another supplier’s machine, so this would have to be bought anew which is tough). The sole customer has been a customer for years. The business enjoys a high-barrier-to-entry partnership with a Tier-1 Mining OEM, where dedicated, custom tooling creates significant customer switching costs and ensures long-term revenue stickiness.

Fast-Growing Customer Industry: 7.6% CAGR growth expected which is backed by geopolitical events and heavy US government funding.

Growth Opportunities: the customer has products they still have not transitioned to this company. Current ownership did not even visit the customer in the past year or two, so there is more account management that could be done to grow the account. Also, there is a pipeline of 75 different customers (many quoted or even sent samples), which is a great opportunity for the new owner to follow up and could represent double or greater growth. There could be introductory calls to the very top potential customers in the pipeline so this offers an immediate potential pipeline for the new owner. Current ownership would entertain offers which include an incentive payout for new customers brought on board for an incentive and win-win for the Seller and Buyer (this is optional per Buyer’s request).

Asset Light: the past two balance sheets had $520 in Accounts Receivable and $0 in Inventory. Inventory does fluctuate but this goes to show that the business is quite asset light.

Home-Grown Software: tracking software for ease of operations from PO to delivery allows for scalability.



Inventory: varies but has been zero at year-end both of the past two years. Not included in asking price. Accounts receivable has been $520 on average the past two years and is also not included.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment: $4,000

Employees: 4 contractors

Market Outlook / Competition
Very big market so there are a lot of competitors. However, high tooling costs make it very cumbersome to transition business for a given customer and make the customer sticky.
Opportunities for Growth
Current ownership did not even visit the customer in the past year or two, so there is more account management that could be done to grow the account. Also, there is a pipeline of 75 different customers (many quoted or even sent samples), which is a great opportunity for the new owner to follow up and could represent double or greater growth. There could be introductory calls to the very top potential customers in the pipeline so this offers an immediate potential pipeline for the new owner. Current ownership would entertain offers which include an incentive payout for new customers brought on board for an incentive and win-win for the Seller and Buyer (this is optional per Buyer’s request).

Transition Support
Given ownership only spends a maximum of 5 hours per week, the transition should be very seamless - an introduction to the customer, suppliers, and the inspector overseas. That being said, ownership is open to a generous transition agreement or consulting agreement to give the buyer comfort. Note that a very strong non-compete would be signed of 10 years and explicitly prohibit any direct or indirect competition with the Buyer’s operations involving the current customer or similar product lines in the mining industry. Ownership expects to continue in the industry. Any level of competition in the broader industry is unlikely given the $473 billion and $234 billion market sizes of the two product lines (stampings and machined parts).
