Servant's Heart
What buying a business through MDR & Associates looked like from the other side of the table.
Buyer representation
Buy a business with an advisor on your side of the table
Most acquisitions fail on something that was visible before closing. Our job is to find it while you can still act on it.
For buyers
Most of what we sell is never listed
Register once and you see qualified opportunities under NDA before they are advertised — and a large share are never advertised at all.

5.0 from 43 Google reviewsWho we work with
Individual buyers making the largest purchase of their lives, strategic acquirers adding capability or geography, family offices, and private equity groups building a platform in Texas.
A buy-side engagement covers the search, the approach, the valuation view, diligence coordination, financing and the negotiation. Where we represent a seller we say so plainly — we never act for both sides of the same transaction.
Start here
Sign the buyer NDA and complete a buyer profile, and you will see the confidential detail behind our current listings.
What we do for buyers
Where a buy-side advisor earns the fee
Finding companies that are not for sale
The best acquisitions are usually not listed anywhere. We approach owners directly, confidentially, on your behalf.
A view on value before you bid
What the business is worth to you is not what it is worth to somebody else. We price it against your model, not a rule of thumb.
Diligence that asks the right questions
Customer concentration, owner dependence, deferred maintenance, working capital — the four that most often turn a good price into a bad deal.
Financing arranged in parallel
SBA, conventional and seller-financed structures worked alongside the transaction, so funding is not what loses you the company. See financing
Buyer inquiry
Tell us what you are looking for
Industry, size, geography and timing. We will tell you what is available now and what we could approach on your behalf.
Proof, on camera
The people this actually happened to
Owners and advisors on film, by name, saying what the process was like.
Recent transactions
Companies we have taken to closing
Published by name, with the month each one closed. Very few firms in this industry do that.
