Finding out costs nothing
A confidential opinion of value, from an advisor rather than a calculator. No fee, and no obligation to go any further.
You pay only when it closes
Our fee is 100% performance based. If we do not complete a transaction, you owe us nothing. See what it costs.
Nobody learns your name
Buyers see a blind profile, sign a confidentiality agreement and qualify financially before they are told who you are.
A principal, not an associate
We take a small number of engagements at a time, so a partner of the firm is in your negotiation.

Seller · Dallas
Buyer / Seller / Buyer
A Dallas owner who sold with MDR, on how the negotiation ran with several buyers at the table.
Why representation matters
You will sell one company. The buyer has bought several.
That asymmetry — not the market, not the multiple — is why owners leave money on the table. The buyer arrives with advisors who do nothing but this, and an owner arrives having never done it before.
MDR & Associates puts a principal of the firm on your side of that table. We market your company as a blind profile so nobody learns your name until they have qualified, and we negotiate with several buyers at the same time so competition sets the price rather than one buyer's opinion of it.
One buyer sets a price. Several buyers discover it. That difference is the whole of what representation buys you.
What happens in the first conversation
- You tell us the company, the industry and what you want out of it
- We tell you what it is likely worth, and what would change that
- We tell you honestly whether now is the time
If we are not confident we can sell your company for maximum value, we say so rather than take the engagement.

Not advice. A package, and somebody in the room.
Every company we take to market gets a professionally produced film of its own — this is one of them.

We sell companies with $3M–$100M in revenue
Profitable, with records that reconcile, in one of four sectors we know well. Industry decides the multiple, the buyer type and the diligence.
Manufacturing
Equipment, real estate, backlog and customer concentration decide what a manufacturer is worth.
How buyers value itHome Services
Plumbing, HVAC, roofing, landscaping and other home service companies — where repeat customers, crews and technicians decide the price.
How buyers value itDistribution & Wholesale
Inventory, working capital and supplier agreements decide what a distributor is worth.
How buyers value itBusiness Services
Recurring revenue and owner dependence separate a two-times business from a six-times business.
How buyers value itOutside those four? We have sold in most of the sectors around them — tell us about the company and we will say honestly whether we are the right firm for it.
In their words
What owners said afterwards
After more than 30 years in business, we began researching and planning for the sale of our business 3 years before putting it on the market. Realizing this would be our first time to sell a business, we wanted the benefit of the experience that comes with being a successful salesman that is immersed in the…
Michael and Team are great to work with. The process was quick with no surprises. I was most impressed with the entire team’s quick response and good communication. If you want to sell your business, have a talk with MDR first and see if it’s a good fit.
In business for 31 years my wife and I were ready to move on into retirement! Praying about how and when to sell! I was referred to MDR and Associates Michael Rubin from a dear friend from our church. I'm so grateful for this connection as MDR made the sell so simple by vetting numerous potential buyers…
