Aspermont business brokers and M&A advisors
For owners in Aspermont, MDR & Associates offers something rare in a small county seat: business brokers who represent only the seller and bring the process to you. We start with an honest look at whether your company fits what buyers want, and what it could sell for.
A Stonewall County seat on U.S. 83 and U.S. 380
Aspermont was established in 1889 and is the county seat of Stonewall County. U.S. Route 83 and U.S. Route 380 cross here, along with several farm-to-market roads, and Stonewall County Airport lies about a mile northeast of the town center. The town had 789 residents at the 2020 census, down from a peak of 1,357 in 1980, and the Aspermont Independent School District runs the high school, home of the Hornets.
In a county this size, a company with several million dollars in revenue usually serves customers spread over a wide area. That reach is valuable, and it is exactly what a buyer will want to understand before making an offer. A buyer will also weigh what it costs to run the company from here: finding and keeping skilled staff, getting parts and supplies in, and serving distant customers.

Is an Aspermont company the right size for a sale?
The companies we take on turn a profit on something like $3 million to $100 million of revenue a year, and their books for the last two or three years agree with each other. Some Aspermont companies will fall below that range, and if yours does, we will say so plainly in the first conversation rather than take on work we cannot do well. When it does fit, we sit down with you at no charge, study three years of statements and hand you our estimate of the low and high end of its value. Owners who need a fully documented figure, for a partner, a lender or an estate plan, can order a formal business valuation as a separate engagement.
Buyers of rural companies ask the same core questions: who runs the company when the owner steps back, how loyal the customers are, and what the trucks, buildings and equipment will need in the next few years. A written answer to each, prepared before marketing, makes a buyer more comfortable paying full value.
Advisors travel out from our Frisco headquarters for every Aspermont meeting. Our pay is a success fee that exists only if a buyer closes, and the fees page shows how it scales with price. Neighboring counties and towns are covered on the West and North Texas page.

Questions owners in Aspermont ask
Will anyone want to buy a company based in Aspermont?
If the company is profitable and not entirely dependent on you, yes. Buyers look at earnings, customers and people, and some actively want a business in a quieter place. We call on vetted buyers in our own files first, private equity and investment groups as well as individuals, and for them a company's strength outweighs the size of its town.
What if my Aspermont company is smaller than your usual clients?
We will tell you honestly after the first conversation. Our focus is companies with about $3 million to $100 million in revenue. If yours is below that, we can explain what buyers look for and what would make the company more valuable, so you can plan the next steps with your CPA and attorney.
