Straight answers about selling, buying and valuing a business.
We offer free consultations and business valuations. If you decide to sell, we work on a success fee, so we are paid when your business sells. The terms of every engagement are discussed and agreed in writing before we start.
Most sales close 6 to 9 months after the business goes on the market. In 2025, the median small business sold through a broker was on the market for 170 days nationally and 164 days in the Houston area (BizBuySell Insight Report). Larger or more complex businesses often take 9 to 12 months. Timing depends on the size of the business, how well prepared the financials are, buyer financing, and due diligence.
