What a trades buyer actually looks at.

Recurring work.

Service agreements are worth more than one-off jobs, even at the same revenue.

Who holds the license.

If it's only you, it's a problem to solve.

Bench depth.

A certified crew takes 18 to 24 months to rebuild.

Work-in-progress accuracy.

On commercial work, buyers rebuild your numbers from the WIP schedule.

Systems.

Whether the field runs on software or on your memory.

Where we come in.

We find these before a buyer does. That's what Exit Readiness is.

Get Exit Ready

Selling your trades or construction business.

You built it on callbacks that never happened and crews that show up. None of that is on the tax return. We find it and get you paid for it.

We prepare your business to sell.

You get one first impression. We position and package your business so buyers see its strengths immediately, and so the things that scare buyers are handled before a buyer ever finds them.

Both sides of the same closing

Selling a business is a complex process with countless moving parts. We're very glad we trusted Sigma Mergers to broker this transaction for us. We were selling two units within a franchise system, with two landlords, four required licenses, and an SBA loan, all adding layers of complexity to the deal. Scot and his team managed the entire process exceptionally well. They brought qualified buyers and provided knowledgeable leadership through every stage of the transaction, including navigating the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), SBA loan requirements, and the franchise and landlord approval processes. Thanks to their expertise, the transaction closed successfully, and both the buyers and sellers are very happy with the outcome. If you're considering selling your business, I highly recommend Sigma Mergers.

Both sides of the same closing

Scot was instrumental in helping us successfully close the acquisition of two established franchises. His extensive knowledge of business acquisitions, combined with his ability to manage the many personalities and complexities involved, was critical to getting the deal across the finish line. Scot even served as a mentor and trusted resource to the buy-side broker, who had limited experience with a transaction of this nature. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance, professionalism, and persistence throughout the process.

— From the buyer across the table

Scot helped us sell our family business in record time for a fair price. Two words describe Scot best: knowledgeable and available. I cannot think of one single time when he was not available to answer a question or respond to a text or email. Scot has been marketing businesses for a while, and he knows what he is doing and has a great system for the process. We would highly recommend Scot if you are ready to sell your business.

Seller — family business

Sigma Mergers & Acquisitions exceeded all of our expectations. They helped us understand the process each step of the way and sell our business for what we wanted to the right buyer. Our Logistics and Transportation business was for sale in the Dallas Fort Worth area for only a short time before we had a full price offer.

Tonya Savage

Seller — logistics & transportation

Very professionally managed process, did a great job of weeding out the non-serious buyers and only bringing legitimate opportunities to me. Marketed my company at a very high level.

Steve Deere

Seller

Scot, you've outdone yourself once more! You transformed what could have been a stressful ordeal into a seamless experience. We're grateful for your assistance in selling our cleaning and restoration business. Your dedication and readiness to address any queries around the clock are truly appreciated. Your extensive knowledge of business sales and patience with our numerous questions have been invaluable. We cannot thank you enough!

Cindy Davis

Seller — cleaning & restoration

We chose Sigma Mergers to find someone to purchase our company. After going through the qualifying process with Scot, he went about finding several qualified people who might purchase our company. Not only did Scot find us a qualified buyer, he did it in what we thought was a short period of time and got us a price we were very happy to get. We would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone who is seriously considering selling their business.

We go the extra mile.

Since 2003, Sigma has taken owners across the USA through every step of the sale — valuation, confidential marketing, hard buyer vetting, and negotiation that doesn’t blink.

You work with the same team from the first valuation through closing. Your deal is never handed off to a junior coordinator.

What you get from Sigma.

Value.

We find the financial and nonfinancial value a transaction-focused broker misses. Your financials set the floor. The genius sets the multiple.

Net proceeds.

What you keep matters more than the headline price. We work the fees, the working capital adjustments and the earnouts so value doesn't leak out of your deal.

Legacy.

Your employees, your customers, your culture and your name outlive the transaction. We protect all four.

Guidance.

Hands-on from the first valuation through closing. Your deal is never handed off to a junior coordinator.

Let's talk.

A confidential valuation tells you what a buyer would pay for your business today and what’s holding that number down. It doesn’t commit you to selling.
