5.0 from 43 Google reviewsWho we are
MDR & Associates is a boutique mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. We represent owners of privately held Texas companies with $3 million to $100 million in annual revenue, most of them in manufacturing, home services, distribution and business services.
Boutique is a deliberate choice, not a size we have not outgrown. We take a limited number of engagements at a time so a principal of the firm is in every negotiation. If we do not believe we can sell your company for maximum value, we decline the engagement rather than list it.
We have closed more than 250 transactions since 2008, and we publish the companies whose owners agreed to be named, with the industry each one operated in. We would rather be judged on that than on a slogan.
Our core values
- Passionately serve our clients, community and associates
- Perform with the highest level of integrity, transparency and confidentiality
- Results that honor God, family and ultimately change lives
These are the words the firm has used since it started, not a page we wrote for a website.

Why the firm exists
A message from our founder, in his words: “Our firm has a unique heartbeat and is unlike any other organization I have ever been a part of. We began during the worst M&A environment in fifty years. Banks simply were not lending, multiples were at rock bottom and seller financing was the new normal.”
“Today, our team serves clients with one verse in mind — Matthew 6:33. It is our heartbeat and it is why we do what we do. We don't apologize for it. We aren't ashamed of it. It's just who we are. Our team gives a portion of every success fee to meet needs in our local community and around the world. We cannot meet every need that exists. But we can meet one need of a widow, orphan or single mother today.”
— Michael D. Rubin, CEO and Founder

No cost, no obligation
Start with a conversation, not a commitment
Three short steps, and only the last one is required. The questions before it are what let an advisor come back with a real answer instead of a call asking for one.
Or call (855) 637-2776 and speak to somebody who has sold companies.
- A reply the same business day
- Confidential — nothing reaches your employees, customers or competitors
- No obligation to list, engage or continue
