Liberty Hill business brokers and M&A advisors
MDR & Associates acts as the business broker and M&A advisor Liberty Hill owners call for a quiet, well-run sale and the best terms the market will give. Liberty Hill is about 29 miles northwest of Austin in Williamson County, and an advisor from our firm will meet you there, at your business or somewhere private.
A frontier settlement that became part of Greater Austin
Liberty Hill was founded in the 1840s, got its post office in 1853 and did not incorporate until 1999. Its oldest occupied building, the Stubblefield Building, went up in 1871 as a general store, and the town still has its own newspaper, The Liberty Hill Independent. Today it is part of the Greater Austin metropolitan area, with neighbors including Bertram, Florence, Georgetown, Leander, Cedar Park and Round Rock, and the 2020 census counted 3,646 residents.
Its place in Greater Austin shapes how a company there should be sold. For an owner, the practical point is that a company in Liberty Hill can serve a large region while keeping a small-town base. Many owners also care about the town's character and want a buyer who will respect it; we can screen for that.

Preparing a Liberty Hill company for a buyer
Most owners we meet have spent years in the business and very little time thinking about how a buyer will read it. A buyer wants three years of records that reconcile, a clear picture of adjusted earnings, customers spread widely enough, and a team that runs the work day to day. If any of those are weak, a year of preparation can pay for itself in the offers. Our pre-exit consulting spans the year or two leading up to a sale for owners who want that time.
When the company is ready, the ten-step process begins: marketing package and HD video, buyer screening, meetings, several letters of intent, due diligence, legal documents and funds wired. Negotiations are led by a principal of the firm, never delegated.
Start with a number
For a first number, try our online valuation snapshot. A fuller opinion of value comes after a free, confidential discovery meeting. Owners here are often planning several years out. If that is you, both are useful now, even without a sale in view, because they show what a buyer would pay today and which improvements would raise that figure most. Liberty Hill is one of the towns we cover in Central Texas.

Questions owners in Liberty Hill ask
Is my Liberty Hill company too far from Austin to interest private equity?
Distance matters less than size and earnings. We represent companies with $3 million to $100 million in revenue, and private equity groups and capital groups in our database look at Texas companies across the metro. Liberty Hill is within the Greater Austin area, which many buyers see as a plus rather than a drawback.
What should a Liberty Hill owner fix before selling?
Usually the records first: three years of statements that reconcile with tax returns, and personal expenses separated from business ones. Next, anything that makes the company depend on you personally, such as being the only contact for key customers. We will tell you honestly which fixes move value and which are not worth the time.
