Eagle Pass business brokers and M&A advisors
For an owner in Eagle Pass weighing a sale, MDR & Associates acts as the M&A advisor on your side of the table only, from the first valuation to the day funds are wired. Your company sits on the Rio Grande across from Piedras Negras, and buyers will want to understand what that border position means for your revenue. Our advisors come to you in Maverick County, at your place of business or somewhere discreet.
Rifles, retail and the Piedras Negras crossing
Eagle Pass is the county seat of Maverick County and half of the Eagle Pass–Piedras Negras metropolitan area, one of six binational metros on the U.S.–Mexico border. The local economy rests on retail, import and export, and manufacturing. Firearms makers are the best-known employers: Mossberg and MicroStar both manufacture here, and Maverick Arms expanded its operations in 2014.
Retail draws heavily on visitors from Mexico, with about 6,000 people crossing into the U.S. on an ordinary weekday and 10,000 on the weekend. A buyer looking at a store, a distributor or a service company here will ask how much of the revenue follows that traffic, and how it held up in slower years. Having those answers ready, backed by statements that reconcile, is what separates a strong offer from a cautious one.

What a machine shop or plant supplier should prepare
Manufacturers of that size depend on smaller companies for machining, tooling, maintenance and staffing. If your firm is one of those suppliers, expect buyers to study how much of your work comes from one or two plants, whether that work runs under contracts or purchase orders, and whether your key people would stay after a sale. We have sold Texas manufacturing companies, Smith Tool & Mfg. among them, and our manufacturing practice knows the questions these buyers ask.
Meeting an owner in Maverick County
Much of the early work happens by phone and secure document exchange, with our advisors traveling to you for the meetings that matter. The corporate office is in Frisco, and the firm also serves owners in San Antonio and across South Texas.
Start with the free valuation snapshot if you want a rough range first. The full opinion of value follows a confidential discovery meeting and a review of three years of financials. Both are free, and our fee for the sale itself is paid only if your company closes.

Questions owners in Eagle Pass ask
Will buyers discount my Eagle Pass company because so many customers cross from Piedras Negras?
Not automatically. Buyers want to see that cross-border customers have been steady over several years, through busy and slow stretches at the bridge. We lay out monthly revenue history and explain the pattern in the marketing package, so a buyer judges the business on its record rather than on assumptions about the border.
Can I sell my company without my employees in Eagle Pass finding out?
In most cases, yes, until close to the end. Buyers first see a blind profile with no name or address. Nobody learns who you are until they have registered, signed a confidentiality agreement and shown in a financial profile that they can pay. Site visits happen after hours or look like ordinary business meetings.
