Brushy Creek business brokers and M&A advisors
For an owner who lives in Brushy Creek, just west of Round Rock along the creek that gives it its name, MDR & Associates works as the M&A advisor on your side of the table: we value the company, find the buyers and run the sale to closing. Our advisors come to you, at your office or somewhere quieter, so nobody at the company learns of the sale before you decide to tell them.
An unincorporated suburb inside the Austin market
Brushy Creek is not a city. It is a census-designated place in Williamson County that first appeared in the 1990 census with 5,833 residents and counted 22,519 in 2020. It sits between Round Rock and Cedar Park, and its children attend Round Rock and Leander schools. For a business owner, that means your company's address may read Round Rock, Cedar Park or Austin even if your home is here, and the market buyers weigh is greater Austin as a whole.
Buyers of Austin-area companies range from individuals who want to own one good business, to capital groups adding a second location, to private equity groups building a platform. Which of them pays most depends on your size, your margins and how much of the company runs without you. Our Central Texas page describes the wider buyer pool.

Keeping a sale quiet when your customers are your neighbors
In a suburb where clients, employees and competitors shop at the same stores, confidentiality matters more than it does downtown. Buyers first see a blind profile that describes the company without naming it. Before they learn more, each one registers, signs a confidentiality agreement and completes a financial profile showing they can pay for the purchase. We start with our own database of qualified buyers and private equity groups, and turn to blind ads on the major business-for-sale marketplaces only if we need more interest.
The companies we take on are profitable, have $3 million to $100 million in revenue and keep two or three years of records that reconcile. If you are not sure where yours lands, the free valuation snapshot gives you a quick range before any meeting.
What working with us looks like from Brushy Creek
Our corporate office is in Frisco, and our advisors travel to owners throughout the Austin area, which our Austin page covers. The first step is a free, confidential discovery meeting; after we review three years of financials, you receive an opinion of value as a low-to-high range. If we go ahead, a principal of the firm sits in every negotiation, and we ask for several letters of intent at once so that buyers compete on price and terms. You pay a success fee only if the company sells.

Questions owners in Brushy Creek ask
Will buyers treat a Brushy Creek company as part of the Austin market?
Yes. Buyers look at where your customers and employees are, not at the line between a census place and a city. A company serving Williamson County and Austin draws the same pool of individual, capital-group and private equity buyers as one with a Round Rock or Cedar Park address. What changes the price is profit, growth and how much of the work depends on you.
A competitor in Round Rock has asked about buying my company. Should I talk to them before hiring an advisor?
Talk to us first. A single buyer who approaches you directly sets the price with no competition, and you may reveal customer and pricing details before anything is signed. If that competitor is serious, we can bring them into a confidential process alongside other buyers, so their offer is tested against the market instead of standing alone.
