Sell your business in Ogden.

Ogden anchors the north end of the Wasatch Front. It has a long industrial history and a cluster of aerospace and advanced manufacturing that few cities its size can match.

The Ogden economy.

Ogden City describes itself as the center of Utah's aerospace and defense industry. It sits about two miles from Hill Air Force Base, and its specialties range from jet engine production to avionics and software.

The city's target industries are aerospace and defense, advanced materials and manufacturing, life sciences, software and technology, and outdoor products. Its planning documents point to Business Depot Ogden and the Airport Industrial Park as homes for manufacturing.

Around that core is a deep base of machine shops, fabricators, suppliers and service companies that support it.

Selling a business in Ogden.

Suppliers to aerospace, defense or other regulated customers should gather their certifications, quality records and customer approvals before talking to buyers. Find out early whether any contract or approval needs the customer's consent to transfer.

Customer concentration is common in supplier businesses. If a few customers make up much of your revenue, expect buyers to ask about it, and be ready to show the length and strength of those relationships.

For the whole process, from preparation and valuation to the kinds of buyers and Utah's tax steps, read How to sell your company in Utah.
