Very Secure Manufacturing Business – Wage Incentive to Assist Transition – Maitland, NSW

Business ID: XB164392

Annual Revenues Consistently $5M+ Outstanding Income to Owner

Established for over 14 years, this business specialises in metal fabrication, servicing a strong base of repeat clients across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, and the eastern seaboard of Australia. The operation is supported by an experienced, long-term factory team, ensuring continuity, capability, and consistent output.

The business operates from a purpose-built 1,000 sqm facility, ideally located in close proximity to its key clients. It has built a solid reputation for delivering high-quality workmanship while maintaining competitive pricing within the market.

The current owner manages the quoting function, which is supported by established systems and processes. This function can be transitioned during the handover period, providing incoming owners with the knowledge required to continue operations smoothly.

Recognising that some buyers may prefer not to be directly involved in quoting, the vendor has taken proactive steps to broaden the appeal of the opportunity. This includes a price adjustment to $1.99 million and the provision of a wage subsidy for an experienced staff member to undertake quoting responsibilities for a period beyond handover.

With strong profitability, the business is well-positioned to support the addition of a full-time estimator while still delivering an attractive return on investment, with the potential to achieve full ROI in under two years.

Terms of settlement: The owner has priced the business very attractively to stimulate a quick sale, and full payment of any agreed offer is anticipated at settlement.

With a very experienced factory manager in place (13 years) and an experienced workforce and a large back catalogue of designs and fabrications in place, the business almost runs itself.

The current owner produces all quotes using (custom) software that allows margin adjustment per job to ensure the required profitability and competitiveness is maintained. The software adds in all production costs and business overhead costs.

The buyer of the business will be required to fill this role either personally or through recruitment and the vendor will further assist by recruiting(and paying the wages) of a person with the industry knowledge required to be conversant with quoting requirements from the first day the handover is completed.

The vendor is committed to providing a 6-8 week handover subject to discussion and negotiation. Consideration will also be given to continuing with the business in a Consultancy capacity beyond the handover period.
