DFW business brokers and M&A advisors

A Metroplex economy built on many industries at once

The Metroplex does not rest on a single industry. Banking and insurance, telecommunications and technology, energy, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing and logistics all carry weight here, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport ties the region to the rest of the country and the world. Large corporate headquarters, from telecommunications to airlines, sit alongside the privately held companies that supply, maintain and serve them.

That mix is what makes Dallas–Fort Worth a strong place to sell. A manufacturer in Arlington, a distributor near the airport, an HVAC company in McKinney and a business-services firm in Irving each have a different natural buyer. The region draws corporate acquirers, private equity groups and people who want to own and run a company in a large market, and the right one for you depends on what your company does best.

Selling a company in Dallas–Fort Worth with a firm based here

Being based in the Metroplex means we can meet you on short notice, walk your facility more than once, and sit across the table from buyers in person throughout the deal. One of the firm's principals is in the room whenever terms are discussed. In a business community tied together by industry groups, banks and long-standing customer relationships, confidentiality is not optional.

So your company starts out anonymous. A buyer who wants more than the blind profile has to register with us, sign a nondisclosure agreement and hand over a financial profile showing the money is real. Our own database of private equity groups, capital groups and qualified individuals gets the first look; blind listings on business-for-sale marketplaces are added only if more reach is needed.

Since 2008 the firm has closed more than 250 transactions worth about $500 million in total, and it was named to the Axial Advisor 100 in 2023. Recent sales include Elite Landscape, Smith Tool & Mfg., U-Fix-It Appliance Parts and North Texas Surveying, the kinds of manufacturing, home-service, distribution and business-services companies found throughout the Metroplex.

From first meeting to wired funds

It begins with a discovery meeting at our Frisco office or yours, free and confidential. Bring three years of statements and we will come back with a low-to-high opinion of value. If we believe we can sell the company for its full value, we propose an engagement; if not, we tell you so. From there, ten defined steps take you from the marketing package and HD video through buyer meetings, rival offers, due diligence and the closing, usually over three to nine months.

Our fee is a success fee only, paid if and when the company sells; if it does not close, you owe nothing. Owners who want a first number before calling can use the online valuation snapshot. Your own transaction attorney and CPA stay involved from the letter of intent to the closing table, and we coordinate with them rather than around them.
