Business brokers · Established 2011
Confidential representation for owners selling businesses valued from $500,000 to $30 million. A national brokerage with a boutique approach, based in Salt Lake City. No upfront fees: we’re paid only if and when your business sells.
Every buyer signs an NDA and shows proof of funds before seeing anything.
Two ways we help
For owners
There will come a time when you’re ready to exit and cash out on your hard work. We make sure the business is sold correctly, and for top dollar.
For buyers
Our buyer list is pre-qualified: every buyer signs an NDA and shows proof of funds, with liquid assets from $500,000 up to $30 million.
How we value your business
No two businesses are alike, so we don’t just attach a multiple to your earnings. Every appraisal combines four kinds of evidence, then gets checked against four business appraisal methods.
How businesses like yours are valued and financed today.
What similar companies actually sold for, not what they were listed at.
Buyer demand, lending conditions and timing in your sector.
Your real numbers, cleaned up and explained the way buyers read them.
The process
You keep running your business. We run the sale, quietly.
We sit down with you, look over the business and talk through your exit strategy.
Research, comparable sales and a full financial review, checked four ways.
Your business is marketed to pre-qualified buyers. NDA and proof of funds before any details.
Offers, contract structure and negotiation, through to a correct close.
Confidentiality comes first. All buyers sign a non-disclosure and non-circumvent agreement before receiving any information, and every buyer shows proof of funds.

“I received multiple offers when I was selling my company. One of my competitors offered me $800k. I knew I needed help and hired Josh and his firm. We ended up selling for 7X what my competitor offered me. Josh helped me navigate the entire process, but more importantly protected me through out the process.”K. Passey, Owner, PSI Tops

Questions, answered
We are a contingency-based firm, which means you pay nothing unless your business sells.
All buyers are required to sign a non-disclosure and non-circumvent form before receiving any information on a business. We also require all buyers to show proof of funds, to make sure they are qualified.
We advertise in the major publications for business resources, and we keep a database of over 5,000 pre-qualified buyers. These buyers have signed an NDA and shown proof of funds, with $500,000 to $30 million in liquid assets.
We combine industry research, comparable sales, market trends and a full financial review, then check the result against four business appraisal methods, so the price holds up whichever method a buyer prefers.
Typical timeline from listing to close, in Joshua’s words.
