Needed: Small Manufacturing Company

[JaneDoe]

I am looking to buy a small manufacturing company in NH. I dont really care what they make, just so long as they make something! And I would prefer that the company be really screwed up, so that a) I get it cheap, and b) I get a challenge.

Western/Southern NH is preferred, and depending on the product line(s) proximity to shipping routes is preferred.

I am still investigating the coffee shop, but I am looking at all my options!

[Kat Kanning]

Define "cheap"?

[JaneDoe]

Well, cheap is relative isnt it!

It depends on the potential. I am really looking at everything and anything right now.

I had previously looked into a 'print shop' but I dont want to be a quick printer at this stage in my life. I want to make things, not run a copier.

[Lloyd Danforth]

Yah, how cheap??For the right price we can start one and fuck it up and turn it over to you at a small profit.

[JaneDoe]

ROFL

I dont want totally fucked up! Just a little screwed up, I want a challenge not a heart attack!

I am thinking a company in the range of 1-5 mil in sales, but with little to no visible profits. Ownership that is stagnant etc.

Hey Lloyd,
I say we start one that makes wooden shit for kids to play with. Those people who don't like their kids to play with plastic will pay alot for that shit. If we fuck it up we can sell it to this guy.

Do you mean the 'splinter' playground stuff that was so popular years ago?

[Lloyd Danforth]

Makes it sound like you guys are just a bunch of fuckups!

Well....when you're good at one thing........

No, like little cars, trucks, airplanes, and dolls,  and letters and numbers with magnets on the back, and wood blocks. And wooden toy laptops and cellphones. Oh, and guns, lots of toy guns.

Tourists would eat that shit up because.... ahh it is from NH aren't they quaint.

[Pat K]

We only use the finest old growth spotted Owl virgin forrest trees for our wood toys.

Do you want to make things that can be exported internationally?  Or just things that will be locally consumed?

[Lloyd Danforth]

Things that can be sold....somewhere!  First Criteria.

[JaneDoe]

Well, I have been searching and havent found anything that has interested me. Some machine shops, out there, but that is not really the direction I want to go.

Also, thanks for the listing Kat, and although it is something of a dream of mine, a Pizza place isnt really manufacturing (Unless GWB says so haha)

to all those with the ideas, yeah, toy manufacturing, furniture (wood, kinda fits with the wooden toys), etc would work. Toy manufacturing is dicey, to an extent, due to changes in consumer preferences. But I guess that would be part of the fun! And with my system, we would never be stuck with inventory. But what are NH's consumer liability statutes like? If a kid swallows a wheel off the wooden race car, will I be living in a gutter?
