Owners and Buyers Across Eastern Williamson County and Beyond
We are based in Taylor, and the sellers and buyers we advise often run or are pursuing companies in Hutto, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Georgetown, Manor, Wells Branch and Elgin. Buyers rarely limit their search to one town, so a single listing can reach serious interest from several communities at once.

Meetings by phone and video mean distance seldom stands in the way. If your company sits just outside these towns, mention it when we talk.
Selling, Buying and Everything Between
Most of our work starts with one of two people: an owner thinking about an exit, or a buyer who wants a business with real customers and steady cash flow. For owners we offer business valuation, exit planning and the full sale, including business and property sales when the building is part of the deal. For buyers we offer access to listings, franchise resales and acquisition financing guidance. We also handle mergers and acquisitions and partner buyouts and succession when ownership is changing inside the company.
Sell a Business
A confidential sale process with screened buyers, signed NDAs and careful deal work, from the first valuation through closing day.
Business Valuation
A free, confidential opinion of what your business would likely sell for, built from your real earnings and explained line by line.
Buy a Business
Register free as a buyer, see confidential listings first, and test every number before you commit to an established business.
Exit Planning
A careful plan for leaving your business on your terms, covering value, timing, taxes to discuss with your advisors, and who knows what and when.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Combining with another company or acquiring one, with buyers screened, information released in stages, and your staff and customers protected throughout.
Franchise Resales
We sell franchised locations with the franchisor's approval steps, transfer fees and lease built into the plan, and we screen every buyer confidentially.
Business and Property Sales
For owners whose business owns its building: we value both, weigh selling against leasing, and guide one confidential deal through closing.
Acquisition Financing
Plain guidance on SBA loans, seller financing and lender packages, so the debt behind your purchase fits what the business actually earns.
Partner Buyouts and Succession
An independent valuation, a clear deal structure and a steady handoff when one owner is leaving or the next generation is stepping in.
A Broker That Treats Your Business Carefully
Taylor Business Broker works with owners of small and mid-sized private businesses and with the people who want to buy them. We meet at our office or by phone and video, which keeps early conversations private and convenient for owners who are still running the business every day.
Selling a company you built is a significant decision, and buying one means taking on someone else's work and reputation. We move at a measured pace, document everything and protect what matters to both sides. That is how we approach every listing and every buyer, from the first valuation to the day the keys change hands.
How a Sale Moves From First Call to Closing
Most sales follow the same path, though the pace depends on the business and the buyer. We keep you informed at each stage so nothing happens without your say.
- 1
A confidential first conversation
You tell us about the business and your goals, and we explain how a sale or purchase would work. Nothing you share leaves the call.
- 2
Valuation and preparation
We review your financials, lease and operations, then give you a realistic range of value. If a few changes would strengthen the price, we point them out before going to market.
- 3
Quiet marketing to qualified buyers
New listings reach registered buyers first, as a blind profile with no business name attached. A buyer who wants more must pass our screening and put a confidentiality agreement in writing before any details are released.
- 4
Offers and negotiation
We help you compare offers on price, terms, financing and transition support, then negotiate a letter of intent you are comfortable signing.
- 5
Due diligence and closing
We organize document requests, keep lenders and attorneys moving, and work through the closing checklist so the handoff to the new owner is orderly.
What Shapes the Value of a Business
Two businesses with the same sales can be worth very different amounts. What buyers and their lenders weigh most is whether the profit will keep coming after the owner steps away. These factors move the number most often in our valuations.
Every valuation starts with a free, confidential conversation by phone, followed by a review of your financials. You get a written opinion of value and an explanation of how we reached it, with no obligation to list.
- Earnings and cash flow
- Seller's discretionary earnings, the true profit an owner-operator takes home, sit at the center of most small business valuations. Clean, consistent books that match tax returns support a stronger price.
- How much rests on the owner
- A business that runs well when the owner takes a week off is worth more than one that depends on a single person's relationships. Trained staff and written procedures reassure buyers.
- Lease terms or real estate
- A transferable lease with years remaining protects the buyer's location. When the property is included, it is valued separately and often changes how the deal is financed.
- Customer and supplier concentration
- If one customer makes up a large share of sales, buyers see risk. A broad, repeat customer base usually earns a better multiple.
- Equipment, inventory and condition
- Well-kept equipment and accurate inventory counts reduce what a buyer expects to spend after closing. Deferred upkeep tends to come off the price.
- Financing and deal structure
- Whether a buyer uses an SBA loan, seller financing or cash affects what they can pay and how quickly. Structure can matter as much as the headline number.
Questions Owners and Buyers Ask First
- How do you keep my sale confidential?
- We market your business with a blind profile that leaves out the name and location details. Buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement and pass our screening before we share financials or identify the company. You decide when employees, customers and suppliers are told.
- What does it cost to sell my business with you?
- Listing costs nothing at the start. We do not charge retainers, and there are no extra fees tucked into the paperwork. Our fee is earned at closing, from the sale itself, and we walk you through exactly how it works before you sign anything.
- How much is my business worth?
- That depends mostly on earnings, how dependent the business is on you, its lease or property and how buyers would finance it. We offer free, confidential valuations, and the conversation starts with a phone call.
- How long does it take to sell a business?
- It varies with the size of the business, its records, the asking price and the financing involved. Businesses with clean books and a realistic price tend to move faster. We will give you an honest read on timing once we have reviewed your numbers.
- How do I register as a buyer?
- Call us and we will talk through the kind of business you want, your experience and your budget. Once you are registered, new listings go to you before they are marketed more widely, and you sign a confidentiality agreement for any listing you want to see in detail.
- Can you help me finance a purchase?
- We are not a lender, but our acquisition financing guidance helps you understand SBA loans, seller financing and down payment expectations. We can also help you prepare the documents lenders usually ask for.
- Do you handle franchise and property sales?
- Yes. Franchise resales involve franchisor approval and transfer steps, which we help manage. When the building is part of the sale, our business and property sales service covers both together.
Why Owners and Buyers Work With Us
A business sale puts a lot at risk if it is handled carelessly: employees, customers, suppliers and the price itself. We treat protecting those things as the first job, not an afterthought.
Confidentiality comes before marketing
Your business name never appears in a public listing. Buyers see a blind profile first, and they sign a confidentiality agreement before we share financials or identify the company. Staff and customers hear about a sale when you decide they should.
Buyers are screened, not just collected
Before a buyer meets you or tours the business, we talk through their experience, their available funds and how they plan to finance the purchase. That keeps tire-kickers and competitors fishing for information away from your books.
Our fee waits for your closing
Listing costs you nothing at the start, and we never ask for a retainer or tack on charges you did not see coming. We are paid only when you are, so our attention stays on a deal that actually reaches the closing table.
Straight answers about value
Our valuations are free and confidential, and we would rather give you a realistic number now than an inflated one that leaves your business sitting on the market. If the business is not ready to sell, we will say so and show you what to work on.
Careful documents and a clean close
Letters of intent, due diligence lists and closing checklists are kept organized and in writing. Fewer loose ends means fewer surprises late in the deal, when surprises cost the most.
Start With a Private Conversation
Owners can get a free, confidential valuation, and buyers can register for current listings before they are marketed widely. Either way, the first step is a phone call.
