Business sales & brokerage — confidential

Sell the business, not just the building.

The shop, the route, the practice, the company you built for thirty years — valued honestly, marketed quietly, and structured so the deal actually closes. Often paired with the real estate underneath it, which is where most business sales leave money behind.

The work

From first number to final signature.

01

Valuation

What the business is actually worth — earnings, book, market comps, and the real estate — before anyone else gets a vote on it.

EARNINGS · ASSETS · REAL ESTATE

02

Quiet marketing

Buyers vetted and under NDA before they learn your name. Employees, customers, and competitors find out when you want them to — at closing.

CONFIDENTIAL · NDA-FIRST

03

Structure

Asset vs. stock, seller notes, earnouts, lease-backs on your building — structured with your CPA and attorney so the headline number survives the fine print.

DEAL TERMS · TAX-AWARE

04

The real estate play

Own the building too? That's leverage — sell together, lease it back for income, or 1031 the proceeds. Most business brokers can't run this play. We can.

Who calls

Built over decades. Sold exactly once.

SELLER 01

The retiring founder

No successor, decades of goodwill, and a building worth more than the P&L shows. Both get valued. Both get sold right.

SELLER 02

The family handoff

Some of the business goes to the kids, some gets sold, the real estate becomes the retirement income. Structure is everything.

SELLER 03

The operator moving on

Route businesses, trades, practices, franchises — priced on real cash flow and sold to buyers who can actually get financing.

BUYER

The acquirer

Searching for a Central Coast business with real estate attached? That combination is our home field. Financing included.

"You only sell it once. The difference between a good exit and a great one is usually structured months before the buyer shows up — and it's usually the building."

Start here

The first conversation is always confidential.

A quiet valuation, an exit two years out, or an offer you weren't looking for — nothing leaves this conversation without your say-so.

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL — NDA AVAILABLE
