Canyon business brokers and M&A advisors
Canyon business owners who are thinking about a sale can work with MDR & Associates, a Texas firm of M&A advisors that represents sellers only. Canyon is the Randall County seat, home to the main campus of West Texas A&M University and part of the Amarillo metropolitan area, and our advisors come to meet you there.
A university town at the head of Palo Duro Canyon
Canyon sits in a valley that opens eastward into Palo Duro Canyon; the state park is 12 miles east of town, and the JA Ranch lies east of the city as well. Canyon was founded by L. G. Conner and has 14,836 residents. West Texas A&M's main campus is near the city center, and the town is also home to the Panhandle–Plains Historical Museum and the outdoor musical drama Texas. Beside U.S. Route 60 stands Tex Randall, a 47-foot cowboy built in 1959.
Because Canyon belongs to the Amarillo metro, a company here competes and hires in a regional market, and buyers will value it that way. An HVAC, plumbing or roofing company that serves homes from Canyon into Amarillo is the kind of home-services business that owner-operators and private equity groups look for when they build across a region.

Preparing a Canyon company for a buyer's review
The work that raises a price happens before a buyer sees anything. We recast your financials so the true earning power shows, separate owner perks and one-time costs, and write a marketing package that explains the company in a buyer's terms: recurring customers, crew depth, margins, equipment, and who holds the key relationships. If you or a family member run both the office and the field, a buyer will want to know who takes over those jobs, and that answer belongs in the package, not in due diligence.
Owners who want a number first can use the valuation snapshot, a free quick range, before a full discovery meeting.
Our role, from the first call to closing
MDR & Associates has closed more than 250 transactions since 2008. Our corporate office is in Frisco; for Canyon, our advisors travel to your office or a quiet place of your choosing. A principal of the firm is in every negotiation, we work alongside your attorney and CPA, and our fee is paid only if the company sells. See how we cover the rest of the Panhandle and the plains on the West & North Texas page.

Questions owners in Canyon ask
Does being part of the Amarillo metro help when selling a company in Canyon?
It widens the buyer pool. An acquirer looking at the Amarillo area sees Canyon as part of the same market, so a company here can draw interest from regional operators as well as outside buyers entering the Panhandle. What sets the price is still the company itself: profit, customer spread, and whether it runs without you.
Will buyers care that some of my revenue comes from West Texas A&M?
They will want to understand it. Revenue from a university is often steady, but buyers check whether it rests on a contract, a bid process or one relationship. We present the history of that account, how it was won and renewed, and how much of total sales it represents, so the buyer judges the real risk rather than guessing.
