A precision machine shop supplying short-run components to industrial equipment makers. No customer exceeds 16% of revenue, and an experienced production lead manages scheduling across two shifts.
Cabinet Shop Since 1978 with Four-Month Order Book
Cedar Bend Cabinetry
Representative photograph · not an actual listingAbout the business
A multigenerational cabinet shop with designer referrals and a four-month fictional order book. The owner prices jobs and supervises finishing; a foreman runs fabrication. All figures describe an invented operating scenario; no real company, customer accounts or property is offered for sale.
Operations & owner involvement
Owner-operated. The fictional owner participates in customer relationships, purchasing and weekly scheduling. Reported SDE includes owner compensation; replacement management is modeled separately.
Team
12 fictional team members support this operation. The owner’s participation is reflected in SDE; a replacement-manager adjustment is included in our financing illustration.
Included assets & inventory
CNC router, spray booth, woodworking machines, delivery truck and showroom. Ordinary operating supplies are included in the asking price. No additional inventory payment is modeled.
Why this business stands out
Decades of local operating history support repeat business. A focused service offering and manageable footprint make day-to-day operations easy to understand. Existing equipment capacity leaves room for measured growth.
Growth opportunities
Standardize a semi-custom product line and strengthen dealer relationships.
Reason for sale
The fictional seller is simplifying a portfolio of unrelated businesses and can support an orderly handover.
Fictional seller notes
“There is work to do here, and the right operator will see the possibilities. The equipment has a maintenance schedule. Your imaginary investor updates can too.”
Taylor Bennett (fictional)
