Business Description
Machine Shop Metal for C&C Experts
This one man machine shop has reached retirement age and ready to pass the baton. Centrally located near i75/i4 corridor this small machine shop has had the amazing opportunity to work with all different types of clients, offering personalized service and technical consultation. Perfect business for someone wanting to expand the brand and work load. Seller only works part time currently with a select group of loyal customers. There is plenty of work for someone wanting to take it to the next level. This is what the Ideal buyer should look like.
The Entrepreneurial Machinist / Experienced Operator:
Who they are: This is often an experienced machinist, CNC programmer, or engineer who has worked in larger shops or corporate settings and is ready to be their own boss. They have a passion for machining and a strong understanding of the technical aspects.
Why they're ideal:
Operational Know-How: They already possess the core skills to run the machines, interpret blueprints, and handle programming. This significantly reduces the learning curve and allows for a smooth transition.
Desire for Autonomy: They're looking for the freedom and challenge of owning their business, rather than just being an employee.
Growth Mindset: While the shop is small, they likely have ambitions to grow it, perhaps by expanding services, client base, or acquiring new, more advanced equipment over time.
Understanding of the Niche: They appreciate the value of a small shop's agility and ability to cater to specialized, low-volume work, which is often undeserved by larger players.
Seeking an Established Footing: Instead of starting from scratch (which involves significant capital expenditure for machines, finding a location, and building a client base), they prefer a turnkey operation with existing equipment, a customer list, and a reputation.
