Not tombstones. What the business was, what a buyer was worried about, what we found that changed the number, and how it closed.

Filter by industry

Business Services

Oil and gas services company, $24M revenue

Private equity group

This company was built from nothing by one owner. The buyer does this for a living. Sigma protected points in that deal the seller never knew needed protecting.

Business Services

Security company, $12M revenue

Strategic – competitor

An unresolved state tax liability usually takes a deal off the table, or a large piece out of the price. Sigma dealt with it, closed at full value, and protected both sides.

Business Services

Janitorial services, $1.2M revenue

Individual buyer

60% margins on a janitorial company. Nobody believed them. Sigma proved them, then walked a buyer and a seller who had never done this before through every step.

Business Services

Commercial architecture firm, $7M revenue

Strategic – competitor

A competitor buying a firm like this expects a discount. Sigma priced the specialty the firm had built instead, and the competitor paid full price for it.

Business Services

Commercial art installation, $1M revenue

Individual buyer

Owners of small companies assume nobody will compete for them. High margins in a narrow niche drew multiple offers at full price, and the competition moved the value up from there.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Oil & gas products manufacturer, $15M revenue

Strategic – publicly traded oilfield services company

The owner came to us with a buyer and an EBITDA-based price. We saw why the buyer needed the business-and closed at more than twice that number.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Machine shop with six patents, $6.5M revenue

Strategic – Canadian industry buyer

Inventory problems threatened both the deal and the owner's proceeds. We worked through them. The deal closed with the value intact.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Machine shop, $5.5M revenue

Strategic – industry expert buyer

Customer concentration caps what most buyers will pay. We found a buyer who understood the industry well enough to price past it, then closed the financing when others couldn't.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Stage equipment manufacturer, $5M revenue

Strategic – similar-industry operator

The owner had tried to sell before. The books were clean. The market was simply too specialized to turn up the right buyer. Sigma reached into its buyer database and found an operator in a related industry looking to enter the space.

Manufacturing & Industrial

Custom furniture manufacturer, $3M revenue

Strategic

Disorganized books and outdated records buried the genius of this business. Sigma found it in the company's niche and took it to the right strategic buyer. The sale closed all cash, and the buyer has since scaled the operation.

Distribution & Logistics

Wine and specialty beverage distributor, $35M revenue

Strategic – competitor

The buyer was a competitor who did not see the value. We proved it, then negotiated the terms behind the price – the ones that decide how much of it the owner actually keeps.

Distribution & Logistics

FedEx contract routes, $2.3M revenue

Individual buyer

One customer, which in this business is normal. Routes are valued on miles and points, not EBITDA. Industry knowledge was invaluable in this sale.

Distribution & Logistics

Local freight delivery, $4M revenue

Individual buyer

This buyer had settled on the industry before finding a business. Sigma made sure that buyer was not the only one at the table. Competing offers brought full asking price and a fast close.

Distribution & Logistics

Air-freight transportation, $2.5M revenue

Strategic – direct competitor

A direct competitor made the offer, and competitors argue price. We argued back and won, proved the customer concentration was not the risk it looked like, and got the bank to lend.

Distribution & Logistics

Hobby and art products distributor, $1.9M revenue

Individual buyer

Seasonal revenue reads as risk to most buyers. Sigma found an individual who understood the swings, then made sure the real estate inside the deal was valued properly. Both were needed to reach the owner's number.

Skilled Trades & Construction

Utilities contractor, $9M revenue

Private equity group

The seller's attorney would not accept a seller note. Sigma restructured that piece as an employment agreement, and the buyer paid more, not less.

Skilled Trades & Construction

Residential and commercial HVAC, $5.4M revenue

Individual buyer

The best offer did not come from a consolidator. It came from an individual. Sigma solved the license question, and the owner took the better number.

Skilled Trades & Construction

Engineering firm, $6.5M revenue

Buyer group – three engineers

Government contracts do not transfer just because the business does. Sigma worked that through, and the lease with it, and the contracts came with the sale.

Skilled Trades & Construction

Tree care and vegetation management, $2.8M revenue

Strategic – competitor

Specialized equipment made this business hard for buyers to value. The buyer was a competitor – the party with the most to gain from a look inside. Sigma ran the process without handing over the customer list.

Skilled Trades & Construction

Flooring installation, $1.75M revenue

Individual buyer

A buyer who cannot get financed cannot pay full price. Sigma brought lending options with the business and made the company's strengths visible up front. The owner got the maximum price.

Healthcare & Consumer Services

Medspa, $8.35M revenue

Private equity – industry platform

A platform buyer usually wants the operator to stay, and the terms of staying are negotiated, not given. Sigma structured this deal so the seller could remain after closing.

Healthcare & Consumer Services

Day spa, $8M revenue

High net worth individual

Sigma found the genius of this business and proved it to the market. The sale closed at the highest multiple ever recorded in the industry's comparable sales.

Healthcare & Consumer Services

Ambulance service, $3.3M revenue

Strategic – competitor

Unresolved compliance problems can make a business look unsellable. Sigma worked through them, closed the sale to a competitor, and protected the owners on the way out.

Healthcare & Consumer Services

Doctor-led medical clinic, $3M revenue

Private equity group

Sigma marketed this practice to buyers who work in healthcare, not to the general buyer pool. We handled the billing and licensing questions. In a medical deal, those are what decide whether it closes.

Healthcare & Consumer Services

Medspa, $2M revenue

High net worth individual

We drew competing offers and drove the value up. Then we secured the medical oversight the buyer needed. Without that, the deal does not close at any price.

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.

Robin Bray

Seller — two franchise units

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.

Buyer

— 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.

Kim Allen

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.
