Coahoma business brokers and M&A advisors
If you run a company in Coahoma and are thinking about what comes next, MDR & Associates can act as your M&A advisor, representing you and not the buyer. Coahoma is a Howard County town of 945 on Interstate 20, 10 miles east of Big Spring, so a company of any size here tends to find its customers across the county and up and down the highway.
Exit 188, a rodeo clown and a town of 945
Coahoma sits on the south side of Interstate 20, reached from Exit 188, with Colorado City 27 miles to the east. A water tank near the highway shows Quail Dobbs, a former justice of the peace who became a well-known rodeo clown. The town had 945 people in 2020, up from 817 in 2010, and its schools are run by Coahoma ISD.
A company based here that reaches our size range will be serving customers well beyond the town, in Big Spring, across Howard County and along I-20. What matters for a sale is that company: who it serves, how far it reaches and how well it runs without you.

The questions a buyer brings to a Howard County company
A buyer will start with the numbers. Are the last three years of financial statements consistent with the tax returns? What does the company really earn once the owner's salary and personal expenses are recast? From there the questions turn to people and customers: who runs the crews, who holds the key relationships, and what share of revenue comes from the three largest accounts.
If much of your revenue comes from energy customers, expect questions about the cycle. If you serve households and businesses, expect questions about repeat work. Either way, a formal valuation at the start shows what the company is worth today and which changes would raise that number before a sale.
We then take the company to buyers who can pay: individuals looking for a profitable business, operators expanding across West Texas and private equity groups. None of them learns your name until they sign a nondisclosure agreement and prove their funds.
How the fee works
An advisor drives out from Frisco to see you in Coahoma, at the business or at a quieter place of your choosing, and that first sit-down is free. The full terms are on our fees page: one success fee, due only on a completed sale. More about the West and North Texas market is on our regional page.

Questions owners in Coahoma ask
Does it hurt my company's value to be based in Coahoma rather than Big Spring?
Not in itself. Coahoma is on I-20, 10 miles from Big Spring, and buyers judge the market a company serves rather than the town on its sign. What moves the price is steady earnings, a spread of customers and people who will stay after the sale.
What size company do you take on from a town like Coahoma?
We work with profitable Texas companies that have between $3 million and $100 million in annual revenue and books for the last two or three years that tie out to the tax returns. If your company is smaller or not yet ready, we will say so plainly at the first meeting and explain what would change that.
