Common Questions

What contracts do equipment manufacturers need?

Essential agreements include customer purchase agreements with specifications, supplier contracts, warranty terms, service and maintenance agreements, confidentiality agreements for proprietary designs, and employment contracts. Each needs to address the specific risks of equipment manufacturing.

How should I handle warranty obligations?

Warranty terms should clearly define coverage scope, duration, exclusions, remedy limitations, and the process for warranty claims. Well-drafted warranty provisions protect your company while meeting customer expectations and industry standards.

What entity structure works for a manufacturing company?

Most manufacturing companies use LLC or S-Corp structures for liability protection and tax efficiency. Companies planning to raise outside capital may need C-Corp structures. The right choice depends on your ownership, revenue, and growth plans.

How do I prepare my manufacturing company for sale?

Buyers evaluate revenue and profitability, customer concentration, intellectual property, equipment condition, workforce quality, and growth pipeline. Your lawyer helps you organize your business, resolve potential issues, and position the company to command a strong valuation.
