Fiber Glass Hood Manfacturing Busineess For Sale

it should be:

Fiber Glass Hood Manufacturing Business For Sale

Attention to detail is very important in manufacturing

anyway, I would love to own my business and work for myself, then later sell the thing for enough to retire. It just seems strange to me that a $1,000,000 plus per year company would sell for $400,000. You could buy that and pay for it in 1 year.

That doesn't mean $1,000,000 in profit, thats just overall sales. After overhead and materials they might only pull in a profit of $1,000. And reguardless of the profit the business is only worth so much based on what they own (patented processes/tools, building, equipment,....)

My guess is any buisness that on ebay might not be the best investment.

well said, very true stuff right there.

Second a business that mispells one of the first words everyone sees cannot be taken seriously. I also like to "set" on my butt though. Oh and also i like to work for a "Busineess"

Sad to see you selling Rex. Your company has been a supplier of nice hoods for thirdgens for a long time. I can only hope the guy that takes up the business is as kind to us.
