Closed another deal Friday. This was a business in CA that was owned by a current client of mine with an AZ Corporation. Shoutout to Marisol Velasquez at Stewart Title in Redlands, CA for all of her help with the Bulk sales process, tax clearance process and all of the regulations and clearances that the State of California requires to close a transaction. I didn't realize how easy we have it in AZ.

Closed a large transaction today — and what a journey it was.
The seller had this business listed with one of Scottsdale's top M&A firms for over 3 years without a single serious offer. The client paid a hefty upfront fee, yet the listing Broker never even made the 3.5-hour drive to visit the operation. Frustrated and stuck, the seller was referred to me by a friend whose business I successfully sold back in 2024 for $7.5M.
I listed it properly — valued right, packaged professionally — and the response was immediate:
• 90+ inquiries in the first few weeks
• 58 completed NDAs and buyer profiles
• Qualified down to serious conversations with 10 parties
• 3 solid LOIs on the table
• Transaction closed only 133 days from signing of LOI and 168 days from listing.
We ultimately selected the buyer — a boutique Private Equity group backed by an SBIC lender and 20+ independent investors — who had the capital, operational experience, and sheer determination to cross the finish line.
This deal reinforced why I do things differently: No upfront fees. Only a success fee. Because when a business is genuinely strong and priced realistically, I’m confident I can attract qualified buyers and get the deal done.
I specialize in these complex transactions — PE groups, holding companies, heavy due diligence, Quality of Earnings reviews — and I’ve closed many like it.
If you own (or know someone who owns) an Arizona business generating $500K–$3.5M in EBITDA and you're thinking about your options, let's talk.

There is an old saying that Buyers become Sellers and Sellers become Buyers. In this case, I sold this business 5 years ago and those buyers then reached out to me to sell it when they had to move out of State. Found a great cash buyer that could move quickly and everyone walked away a winner.

Closed another deal today. Record start to the year, with $4.375M in transactions closed in 2025 so far. This one never hit the market as I already had the perfect buyer from the last Sweeping business I sold. Thanks to transaction attorneys Isabel Gram (www.constantcousel.com) and Paloma Goggins (www.nocturnallegal.com) and our SBA lending partners Steve Johnston and Sheena Shi with St Louis Bank and Annette and Darci at Arizona Escrow.
