Glossary · Reading the business
Finished Goods
In short
These are products that have completed the manufacturing process and are ready for sale to customers. They represent a key component of inventory and directly contribute to revenue generation.
What it means in a deal
As part of inventory, Finished Goods are typically part of a business's current assets and can serve as collateral for an SBA loan. During due diligence, evaluate the age, condition, and marketability of finished goods to avoid acquiring obsolete inventory that ties up capital. High inventory turnover is usually a positive sign.
