TR,

You can re-read but I will approach an additional angle that limits the ability to sell.

Many large Corporations have internal rules that they follow that involves the purchase of larger equipment or any improvements that they have to make to accomidate the space for the same larger equipment. They do not want to make expenditures to weak Companies that may occur in one large or small item delivery that could delay or alter the over-all project/process etc. These rules dictate deposits/payments/delivery/financials of supplier/mfg. History/ specifications etc. etc. etc. If a supplier or Manufacturer has rules of their own that do not comply then a business purchase or marriage cannot be made.
Many Companies refuse to do business with Companies that are not credit worthy or show poor cash flow. Many larger companies request the financials of smaller companies. They do not care if the supplier is Public or Private. Many Companies have prequalication kits for suppliers of Specialty Equipment before they will even entertain doing business. Some larger Companies have prequalification for all companies. I sell some flooring products to a large Public traded coorperation that is local. I have my accountant fill out a prequalification kit on a regular basis.
