Paul Vartanian has been amazing to work with. He was always on top of things, and even when things got difficult he had a plan forward or guidance on next steps. He was always super communicative. Would highly recommend having a conversation with Paul if you’re planning on selling your company.
Texas Business Broker
Texas Business Brokers
Texas now has more Fortune 500 headquarters than any other state, no personal income tax and an economy larger than most countries. Buyers have followed the money: private equity groups, corporate acquirers and relocating entrepreneurs are all shopping Texas businesses, and there are more qualified buyers than there are well-prepared companies for sale. A Texas business broker makes sure that imbalance works in your favor.
DealPipe represents owners across the state: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and the Gulf Coast, Austin and San Antonio, El Paso, Tyler, Lubbock, Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley and the smaller markets in between. We value your business against real Texas transactions, market it only to buyers who have signed an NDA and proven their funds, and negotiate the terms that protect your payout, your employees and your name.
Whether you are planning a retirement exit or scouting your next acquisition, you get a full deal team of analysts, M&A advisors and closing support rather than a single agent. Start with a free, confidential valuation.
Why Sell With a Texas Business Broker
Most Texas owners sell one business in their lifetime. The buyers on the other side, private equity groups in Dallas and Houston, strategic acquirers from across the country and serial SBA borrowers, do it constantly. A seasoned business broker in Texas closes that experience gap. We know what oilfield service companies, HVAC and trade contractors, logistics firms, medical practices, manufacturers, SaaS companies and ecommerce brands are actually trading for across the state, and we use that data to defend your price in front of the buyer and their lender.
A defensible valuation is built, not guessed. We start from seller’s discretionary earnings or EBITDA, adjust for recurring revenue, customer concentration, owner dependence and growth, and translate the result into a multiple the market will pay. Use our business valuation calculator for a first estimate, then let our team refine it with real Texas comps.
From there we handle the details that quietly kill deals: SBA pre-qualification, buyer financing, due diligence requests, lease assignments, license transfers and the Texas franchise tax clearance buyers ask for at closing. You keep running your company while we run the sale.
Selling a Business in Texas: What Sets This Market Apart
Fifty-seven Fortune 500 companies call Texas home as of 2026, twenty-five of them in Houston alone, and the state keeps adding corporate relocations every year. That corporate depth matters to small and mid-sized sellers because it brings strategic acquirers, well-funded executives and private equity groups into every region of the state.
Each metro has its own buyer profile. Dallas-Fort Worth trades heavily in logistics, business services, healthcare and consumer brands. Houston is anchored by energy and industrial services, the Port of Houston and the world’s largest medical complex. Austin draws software and technology buyers, San Antonio is strong in healthcare, defense contracting and construction, and the Gulf Coast, Panhandle and Rio Grande Valley see steady acquisitions of trade, agriculture and distribution businesses. A Texas business broker who knows which buyers are active in your market puts your company in front of the right ones.
What You Gain When You Sell Your Business With DealPipe
Bringing in a Texas business broker changes the outcome in three measurable ways:
- A valuation that holds up. We benchmark against recent Texas sales and current industry multiples, so your asking price survives buyer and SBA lender scrutiny instead of collapsing in week two.
- Competition among qualified buyers. Your business is presented to a national pool of vetted, funded buyers plus the private equity and strategic groups already acquiring in Texas. Multiple interested parties mean a better price and better terms.
- Confidentiality from day one. Every buyer signs an NDA and verifies funds before learning your company’s name. Your staff, customers, suppliers and competitors never see a listing.
We have closed nearly two hundred Texas transactions, from Dallas and Irving to Tyler, Round Rock, San Angelo, League City, Wichita Falls and Brownsville. See the range in our recently sold businesses.
A great broker is more than an intermediary. Your Texas business broker protects your interests from the first valuation conversation to the final wire, keeps momentum when a buyer stalls, and makes sure surprises surface early rather than at the closing table.
Reputation moves deals too. Because serious buyers and Texas SBA lenders already know and trust our team, your business reaches a larger, better-qualified audience that arrives ready to transact. Read what sellers ask us most, then let’s talk through your business and your goals.

Buyer Demand Across Texas Is Real Right Now
Texas has been the fastest-growing large economy in the country for more than a decade: energy and the industrial services around it, the Port of Houston and the DFW logistics corridor, a technology sector stretching from Austin to Dallas, and a construction industry racing to keep up with population growth. Strategic acquirers and private equity groups buy here every quarter, and Texas is consistently one of the top states for SBA acquisition lending.
Buyer interest is strongest in industrial and energy services, logistics and distribution, healthcare and home services, construction and specialty trades, and profitable online businesses. If you own a well-run company anywhere from Dallas to the Gulf Coast, there is a good chance it is already on someone’s acquisition shortlist. The question is whether you sell on your terms or on theirs.

Texas Business Broker FAQ
Website Closers is 100% performance-based: no upfront fees and no retainers, just a success fee paid only when your business sells. The exact structure depends on the size and complexity of your deal, and we walk you through it during your free, confidential consultation.
Value is driven mostly by your seller’s discretionary earnings or EBITDA and the multiple your industry commands, adjusted for growth, recurring revenue and how dependent the business is on you. The fastest way to a real number is a free valuation from our team, benchmarked against recent Texas sales.
Most small-to-mid-market businesses in Texas sell in 6 to 10 months from preparation to closing. Companies with clean financials, a transferable customer base and SBA-eligible cash flow move fastest, and the depth of the Texas buyer pool often shortens the marketing phase. Larger or more complex deals can take longer through due diligence and negotiation.
Texas has no personal income tax, so the gain on a business sale is generally subject to federal capital gains tax only. Two Texas-specific points still matter: entities are subject to the state franchise tax, and buyers typically ask for a franchise tax clearance or certificate of account status before closing; and sales tax can apply to certain tangible assets in an asset sale. Deal structure and price allocation still affect what you keep, so we coordinate with your CPA before terms are set. This is general information, not tax advice.
Texas does not issue a separate business broker license; a real estate license becomes relevant when real property is part of the sale. What protects you is the broker’s process and track record: verified buyers, NDA-gated marketing, defensible valuations and a team that has closed deals across the state. See our closed transactions and meet the deal team.
