Success Story

Manufacturing Company Increases Value by 40%

A mid-sized manufacturing company with $5M in annual revenue engaged our annual valuation services to prepare for an eventual sale. After their first valuation, we identified several key areas for improvement:

  • Customer concentration risk with 40% of revenue from one client
  • Operational inefficiencies reducing profit margins
  • Lack of documented processes and procedures

Over three years of implementing our recommendations and tracking progress through annual valuations, the company diversified their customer base, improved operational efficiency, and documented key processes. The result: a 40% increase in business value and a successful sale at a premium price.
