Seeking 10-15 Min Conversation: B2B Furniture Manufacturing Diligence
November 14, 2025
by a searcher from Carleton College in Burlingame, CA, USA
I’m in the middle of negotiating the purchase of a B2B furniture manufacturer and would really appreciate learning from investors/operators who have experience in this space (or in similar custom/light manufacturing businesses).
I’m particularly interested in how you’ve approached:
- Working capital in project-based / custom manufacturing and how you’ve sized true WC needs.
- Throughput and shop-floor optimization - frameworks you’ve used to think about capacity, constraints, and layout.
- Any diligence blind spots you’ve seen first-time buyers miss in this type of business.
I’m asking for###-###-#### minutes to pick your brain on a few focused questions. Your perspective would be extremely helpful and much appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any time or guidance you’re willing to offer. Feel free to DM directly or email me at redacted
