Exit Strategy Brokerage
Serving Hood County, TX
We specialize in connecting the right buyer to the right seller. Most seller's aren't looking to just sell their business and hand it over to anyone because they have worked so hard to make it what it has become today. We take the extra time to walk through the existing business model with the buyer to see if it would be a good fit for them and find out if they would like to maintain the existing business or take it to the next level! One of our transactions was featured in a Forbes article in 2018: https://www.forbes.com/sites/bobhouse/2018/10/08/schools-out-a-one-million-dollar-lesson-on-selling-a-business/#a721b44ab25b
