FAQ
- Which product labels should I review in an embroidery business?Determine whether the business only decorates customer-owned items or sells finished garments. For sold clothing and textiles, inspect country-of-origin, fibre-content and care labels, supplier records and any locally made claims for accuracy.
- Can customer logos and artwork transfer with the sale?Review written permissions for trademarks, school emblems, sports badges and corporate logos. Confirm ownership and transfer rights for digitised embroidery files, artwork, fonts and photographs, including customer restrictions and deletion obligations.
- How should embroidery machines and software be assessed?Verify ownership, serial numbers, service history, stitch counts, included frames, digitising software and licence transferability. Test every head, colour change, thread-break sensor and network connection, then quantify overdue maintenance and replacement parts.
- How should open orders and deposits be checked?Match quotations, artwork approvals, garment quantities, deposits and delivery dates to work completed and materials purchased. Identify personalised stock that cannot be resold, disputed proofs, rush commitments and costs remaining after deposits were spent.
- What determines the business's practical production capacity?Measure setup, digitising, stitching, trimming and packing time by order type. Review operator skills, machine downtime, thread changes, rejects and peak-season overtime, then test whether quoted turnaround depends on the seller's daily involvement.
- How can I verify embroidery margins?Rebuild contribution by order after garments, thread, backing, digitising, machine time, labour, delivery and remakes. Reconcile supplier purchases and production logs to invoices, separating repeat designs from one-off setup work and discounted volume orders.
