Why This, Why Now

Domestic manufacturing is more valuable than ever.

Tariff-Proof

With rising import tariffs and supply chain uncertainty, domestic manufacturing = competitive advantage. Bonded warehouse next door.

Margin Control

Stop paying 3x to contract manufacturers. Own your production, schedule, quality, and margins. Previous clients built their own facilities after seeing the economics.

Day 1 Revenue

Three existing customers generate $30K/yr at 50% margins. Walk in, fulfill orders, cash flow immediately while you scale.

Year 1 tax illustration

The math on an asset sale

Because this is structured as an asset sale, qualifying equipment can be expensed in Year 1 under Section 179 and bonus depreciation (currently 100% for property placed in service after Jan 2025).

Sample: $280K acquisition

Purchase price (equipment + assets) $280,000
Year 1 depreciation deduction (100%) ($280,000)
Estimated tax savings (at 35% rate) $98,000
Effective net cost after tax benefit $182,000

What this means

Section 179 lets you deduct up to $2.56M of qualifying equipment in the year you place it in service. Manufacturing equipment, filling lines, lab instruments, and water systems all qualify.

Bonus depreciation (100% for eligible property acquired after Jan 19, 2025) covers anything Section 179 doesn't. Together, they let you write off the full acquisition cost in Year 1.

The bottom line: a buyer with existing business income could recover over a third of the purchase price through tax savings alone, while generating revenue from the facility's existing customer base from day one.

This illustration is for informational purposes only and does not constitute tax advice. Actual tax benefits depend on your individual tax situation, entity structure, and applicable tax laws. Consult a qualified tax professional before making any purchase decisions based on tax considerations.

Common questions

Answers before you ask

Revenue is only $30K/yr. Can this support a full-time operator?

Current revenue reflects 17 years of zero marketing and pure word of mouth. Peak revenue hit ~$1M. The $30K is a floor, not a ceiling. One sales hire and a basic website changes the trajectory.

Why is it being sold?

The owner is stepping back to focus on health and retirement. The seller holds a UCC-1 first position on the company's debt and is pursuing a clean asset sale. A 2022 LOI at $365K was declined by the seller. Circumstances have changed, but the assets have not.

Is this SBA-financeable?

Yes. Asset-heavy deal structure with real collateral ($300K+ in equipment). SBA 7(a) friendly. Combined with Section 179 tax benefits, the effective acquisition cost drops significantly.

What you get
