FAQ
- Which environmental approvals should I check before buying a factory?Map actual production, emissions, effluent, water use and waste activities to environmental authorisations, atmospheric-emission licences and waste or water approvals. Review monitoring reports, renewal dates, complaints, directives and remediation obligations before completion.
- What machinery-safety records should I inspect?Review statutory appointments, risk assessments, guarding, lockout procedures, lifting-equipment records, operator training and incident reports. Confirm compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and applicable driven-machinery regulations through a physical factory inspection.
- How do I confirm that manufactured products meet South African requirements?Identify compulsory specifications and sector regulators for each product, including NRCS, SAHPRA or ICASA where relevant. Verify approvals, test reports, labels, batch traceability, recalls and whether certificates remain valid after the transaction.
- How should production capacity be tested before valuing the business?Compare rated output with actual production, downtime, scrap, labour and electricity consumption by line. Inspect maintenance history and bottlenecks, then model realistic capacity under current power supply, backup generation, staffing and customer demand.
- What is the best way to value raw materials and work in progress?Perform a completion-date count by location and production stage. Test ownership, standard costs, ageing, quality, obsolescence and customer commitments, and exclude consigned, rejected or unrecoverable items from the agreed working-capital calculation.
- Which customer and product liabilities require special attention?Review specifications, warranties, quality claims, returns, recalls and customer audit findings. Confirm product-liability insurance and traceability, then identify revenue dependent on certifications, tooling, intellectual property or technical employees that may not transfer.
