Acquisitions

We Buy Metal Fabrication Businesses

If you are a business owner considering retirement, succession, or a transition — or a broker representing a seller — we want to have a straightforward conversation.

Our Approach

What a Deal with FMCP Looks Like

We acquire controlling interests in metal fabrication and industrial manufacturing businesses. We are not a financial buyer looking to flip the business in three years. We are operators who intend to own and grow what we acquire. That means we invest in your team, your equipment, and your customer relationships — not just the balance sheet.

Initial Conversation

A confidential call to understand your business, your goals, and whether there is a potential fit. No NDA required at this stage.

Preliminary Review

We review basic financials and operational information under NDA. We move quickly — typically within two weeks of receiving materials.

Letter of Intent

If there is a fit, we issue a clear, straightforward LOI. We aim to agree clear terms early and communicate promptly if material diligence findings require adjustments.

Due Diligence & Close

We conduct focused due diligence and work toward a clean close. Final terms remain subject to diligence and definitive agreements.

Situations We Pursue

You have built a great business and are ready to step back. We provide a thoughtful transition with respect for what you have built.

Partnership Transitions

Partner buyouts, family business transitions, or situations where one owner wants liquidity and another wants to stay.

Growth Partnership

The business needs investment in equipment, people, or working capital to reach the next level. We provide capital and operating support.

Businesses with no clear path to profitability

Highly distressed situations requiring immediate turnaround

Businesses entirely dependent on a single customer
