Somerset Operators — Industrial Business Sales

IBS. A smoother exit.

A business brokerage for owners of industrial companies valued $300K to $10M. We represent you, find qualified buyers, and run the deal so you don't have to run it alone.

What We Do

Selling an industrial business is unfamiliar territory for most owners. We represent you from the first conversation through closing — so you get a fair price, a qualified buyer, and a process that doesn't drag on for years.

Valuation

01

Realistic Valuation

A buyer-grounded estimate of what your business will actually sell for — cash flow, margin, and multiple, not wishful thinking. Start with our free calculator.

Marketing

02

Confidential Marketing

We package your business and put it in front of qualified buyers — strategic acquirers, private equity, and individual buyers — without tipping off your customers, competitors, or employees.

Screening

03

Buyer Screening

We qualify buyers on financial capacity and seriousness before they ever see your numbers. Fewer tire-kickers, more closed deals.

Negotiation

04

Deal Management

We negotiate price and structure, manage due diligence, and keep the deal moving to close — so you can keep running the business while it's being sold.
