Towns We Cover

Most of our deals involve businesses in Bastrop, Elgin, Smithville and Cedar Creek. Those towns hold the bulk of the area's storefronts, restaurants, service companies and light industrial shops, and they draw buyers from the wider Austin region as well as from inside the county. Because meetings happen at our office or over video, distance is rarely a factor for either side of a deal.

We also work with owners in Camp Swift, Circle D-KC Estates and Wyldwood, where businesses tend to be smaller: a trade contractor, a service route, an operation run from a shop on acreage. Those sales need the same care as a larger one. The buyer still has to understand what the cash flow depends on, and the seller still needs the details kept confidential until a qualified buyer has signed a nondisclosure agreement.

What Shapes a Deal Here

Equipment life and upkeep: Long Central Texas summers are hard on rooftop HVAC units, walk-in cooler compressors, ice machines and work trucks. Buyers ask how old each major piece is and what it costs to keep running, because a low asking price can be eaten by a compressor replacement in year one. We list equipment age and service history in the listing package so the price and the remaining useful life are judged together.
Lease length versus payback: A purchase price only makes sense if the business can stay in its location long enough to earn it back. We check the remaining lease term, renewal options and assignment clauses early, since a landlord who will not consent to assignment can stall a closing.
Permits that do not transfer: Some permits stay with the seller rather than the business. A TABC alcohol permit, for example, generally has to be applied for by the new owner, and food establishment permits run through the local health authority. Under Texas law, a buyer of a business's assets can also be held liable for the seller's unpaid sales tax unless the seller provides a certificate of no tax due from the Comptroller. We build these steps into the timeline so they do not surface at the closing table.
Confidentiality in smaller towns: Where employees, customers and competitors all know each other, word of a sale travels fast. We market listings without naming the business and release details only to registered buyers who have signed a nondisclosure agreement.
