Flower Mound business brokers and M&A advisors
MDR & Associates is a sell-side firm for owners who want to sell a company in Flower Mound. We act as M&A advisors when a company's revenue sits between $3 million and $100 million, and we represent only the seller. Flower Mound, a town of 75,956 in Denton and Tarrant counties beside Grapevine Lake, about 20 miles northwest of Dallas, takes its name from a 12.5-acre mound near the center of town.
Light industry, health care and communications north of DFW Airport
Presbyterian settlers camped here in the 1840s, and the town incorporated in 1961 to avoid annexation by Irving. A 1970 plan for a federally backed Flower Mound New Town failed, but the opening of DFW International Airport four miles south in 1974 set off rapid growth: the population went from 4,402 in 1980 to 50,702 in 2000. The town also lies about 25 miles northeast of Fort Worth, and North Central Texas College runs a branch campus in Parker Square.
The top private employers are Communications Test Design, Inc., MI Windows & Doors, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound and Stryker Communications, and the Lewisville school district is the largest employer overall. Light industrial work, health care and communications are the main sectors, and nearness to the airport keeps drawing companies to town.

What a buyer checks in a Flower Mound manufacturer or tech-services firm
Light manufacturers and communications-services companies sell on repeatable quality and skilled people. Buyers want to see that key technicians and supervisors are staying, that the equipment list is current and that customer contracts are in the company's name rather than the owner's. We prepare those details and present them in a confidential marketing package; see how we approach manufacturing companies. With a hospital among the town's largest employers, health care suppliers and service firms are part of the picture too, and their buyers add questions about licensing, staff credentials and how the company gets paid.

How we work with Flower Mound owners
Flower Mound owners can meet us at their business, at home or somewhere private; we come from our Frisco office. Our first calls go to buyers the firm has screened before, from individual owner-operators to private equity funds; blind listings on the major marketplaces follow only if needed. Several letters of intent are negotiated together, and a principal of the firm sits in each negotiation. The regional picture is on our Dallas page.

Questions owners in Flower Mound ask
How do buyers treat a Flower Mound company whose customers are mostly local homeowners?
Local, repeat customers are a strength when the relationships belong to the company rather than to you. We show how long customers have stayed, how work is scheduled and priced, and who handles accounts day to day. A buyer paying for that base wants proof it will stay after closing.
Will a buyer keep my Flower Mound staff?
Most buyers want the team, because skilled staff are hard to replace. If protecting employees is a priority, we screen buyers on it and write it into the letter of intent. Employees are told on a schedule you approve, usually once the deal is close to final.
