Trying to build a mental model before I talk to advisors. Rough context:

SE Asia-based, ~4 years old

OEM/ODM composites manufacturing for global brands (niche category)

Also run our own consumer brand off the same capabilities

Roughly 60/40 revenue split (manufacturing/brand), with a strong OEM order book

Profitable at PAT, not just EBITDA; growing profitably, not burning for scale

High MOAT/barrier to entry

For illustration: assume ~$2M to $4M topline, ~25% EBITDA, ~10–13% PAT

Questions:

Value the two sides separately (sum-of-parts) or one blended multiple?

For an OEM at this size/margin, what Revenue/EBITDA multiple is realistic?

Does a consumer brand add real value this early, or is it just a story until it’s doing volume?

Young, profitable, Asia-based; does that help or hurt the multiple vs. Western peers?

Are there any examples of such companies that have raised money that I could refer to?

What kind of VCs would even look at a hybrid manufacturing + brand play like this? Are there US-based funds that actively invest in Asia beyond the ones with a dedicated arm in the region (ex: Sequoia, Accel etc.)?

Not selling tomorrow, just want to know what actually moves the number. Appreciate any frameworks or war stories.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone here was able to avoid taxes on paying capital gains in US and India upon their return and during the RNOR status? Wondering if this is a possibility if one chooses to reset their cost basis to get any tax benefits? Thanks in advance.

Where can I find reliable buyers of rubber raw materials (Natural and Synthetic rubber). I have high quality reliable suppliers, but given the large applications of rubber across industries, finding it difficult to zero in on buyers who source input raw materials (not the products). Are there any specific trade shows / expos that I should attend? Also, any specific industries / region to focus on that source large volumes? Any inputs / guidance / referrals will be helpful? Thank you!
