I’m currently exploring a potential opportunity in the manufacturing sector, specifically related to leak detection technologies. I’d love to connect with anyone who has experience in this industry, whether you’re an operator, have insights on manufacturing processes, or just familiarity with leak detection tech. Any advice or pointers would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi ^redacted‌ - nice to meet you. Happy to provide some insight here. End buyers (utilities, industrial plants, oil & gas, facilities) care most about accuracy, false-alarm rates, durability, and compliance. Successful operators emphasize sensor calibration, electronics QA, environmental testing, and traceability. Yield issues, supplier quality, and post-installation failures are common pitfalls for new entrants. Pure hardware sales are lower-margin and cyclical. The best companies attach software, monitoring subscriptions, calibration services, maintenance contracts, or data analytics. This part is crucial because this stabilizes cash flow and significantly improves valuation and scalability. We have a lot experience financing manufacturing companies via the SBA. If you ever need help talking through a deal, I am happy to help. We work with all the major SBA lenders. The bank pay us after your loan closes, so this is a 100% free service for you.You can email me directly at redacted or schedule a meeting with me: https://cal.com/francodeguzman/30min. Look forward to chatting!
