About Our Business Brokerage in Bastrop
We sell privately held companies and match buyers with established businesses and franchises. Each valuation, listing and offer we touch gets measured by what it returns over the years after closing, not only by the figure printed on the settlement sheet.
Why We Judge a Deal by More Than Its Price
Our clients are people who built a private company and now want out, to retire, move on or hand it to the next owner. The other half are buyers shopping for a going concern or a franchise resale. We meet at our office or over phone and video. Keeping early talks off your premises means employees and regular customers have no reason to wonder why a broker keeps stopping by.
The headline price matters less than what a deal is worth once you count everything attached to it. A higher offer paid mostly through a long seller note, tied to a lease with eighteen months left, can leave a seller with less than a lower all-cash offer. A buyer who stretches to the top of a valuation with an SBA loan may spend the first years servicing debt instead of replacing equipment that is near the end of its service life.
So we look at a business the way a careful owner judges a major purchase: up-front cost against how long it lasts and what it takes to keep running. That means checking the age of the key assets, the remaining lease term, how much revenue depends on the current owner, and whether the working capital left at closing will carry the business through its first months under new hands.
Our Approach With Sellers and Buyers
Value grounded in adjusted earnings
Your tax returns and profit and loss statements are our starting point. We recast them into seller's discretionary earnings and back each add-back with paperwork a buyer's lender can check. Anything we cannot tie to a record is left out, because a figure that holds through due diligence beats one that collapses three weeks in.
Price measured against terms
Every offer goes on the same page: cash at closing, seller financing, any earnout, the working capital target and the non-compete. Sellers can see what they keep and when it arrives, and buyers can see their monthly payment.
Private from day one
No buyer learns your company's name until they have signed a nondisclosure agreement and shown they can pay for the purchase. Registered buyers get new listings ahead of anyone else, so sellers meet qualified people without any public notice.
We get paid at closing
There is no up-front cost to list and no retainer, ever. You see every charge in writing before you sign, and nothing gets added afterward. Since we are paid only when the seller is, we spend our time on deals that can really close.
Serving Owners and Buyers Around Bastrop
Our clients come from Bastrop and the towns around it, including Elgin, Smithville, Cedar Creek, Wyldwood, Circle D-KC Estates and Camp Swift. Since most meetings take place over phone or video, or at our office, an owner thirty minutes out gets the same attention as one across town. The method stays the same for everyone: a valuation that holds up under a lender's review, buyers screened before they see a single financial statement, and deal terms that still work once the closing papers are filed away.
