Active
Established CNC Machine Shop, Tons of Work on the books!

The Entrepreneurial Machinist / Experienced Operator:
Who they are: This is often an experienced machinist, CNC programmer, or engineer who has worked in larger shops or corporate settings and is ready to be their own boss. They have a passion for machining and a strong understanding of the technical aspects.
Why they're ideal:
Operational Know-How: They already possess the core skills to run the machines, interpret blueprints, and handle programming. This significantly reduces the learning curve and allows for a smooth transition.
Desire for Autonomy: They're looking for the freedom and challenge of owning their business, rather than just being an employee.
Growth Mindset: While the shop is small, they likely have ambitions to grow it, perhaps by expanding services, client base, or acquiring new, more advanced equipment over time.
Understanding of the Niche: They appreciate the value of a small shop's agility and ability to cater to specialized, low-volume work, which is often undeserved by larger players.
Seeking an Established Footing: Instead of starting from scratch (which involves significant capital expenditure for machines, finding a location, and building a client base), they prefer a turnkey operation with existing equipment, a customer list, and a reputation.
