Sell a Business in Houston, TX
Selling a Houston business is one of the largest financial events of an owner's life. We handle the process end to end: preparing and normalizing financials, building a Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), quietly marketing to pre-qualified buyers under NDA, running negotiations, and coordinating with attorneys, accountants, and lenders through closing.
Our typical Houston seller has $1.5M to $100M in revenue and $300K to $10M in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Around 20% of businesses listed by the average broker actually sell. CGK's close rate is over 90%, driven by accurate valuations and selective engagements. We only take clients we believe we can close for.

What Houston Business Owners Say
“We decided to sell our company in 2025. Talked to another M&A company in the Houston area. We felt very comfortable with Greg and Matthew at CGK. Could not have made a better choice. From day 1 till final closing and even after 30+ days, they have been here helping us with documents and support during the transition. Thanks can not be said enough.”
- Rickey Thomas, Houston seller
“We recently sold our business and used CGK. We had never done this so we were very green. If not for the expertise of Matthew Mistica at CGK we would have been so lost. He was patient, professional and very thorough. He made the entire process easy to understand and his excellent communication kept us very informed. If you need a great company to help you with selling your business we highly recommend CGK. You will not regret it.”
- Dave Sefcik, Houston seller
“I'm so glad I reached out to CGK instead of trying to do it on my own. Matthew Mistica was quick to respond via phone and email. He took me through the process and gave me valuable insights to the value of my business. I'd highly recommend CGK if you're looking to sell a business in this area.”
- Sandra Rosini, Houston seller
“My experience with Matthew and CGK has been extremely informative, relational, and low pressure. If you are a business owner looking to sell I would highly recommend.”
- Hannah Corson, Houston seller

If you're ready to sell your Houston business, or just want to know what it's worth in today's market, use the confidential form below or call our Houston office at (713) 588-0240.
Every inquiry is read personally by our Houston team. No shared inbox, no sales queue, no upfront fees, no obligation.

Business Valuation in Houston
A credible business valuation is the foundation of every successful sale. Most Houston business brokers rely on rules of thumb. CGK's valuations are overseen by Greg Knox, CFA, CAIA, FDP, a CFA Charterholder with 25+ years across middle-market investment banking, private equity, and institutional trading at Deutsche Bank, T. Rowe Price, and Wachovia Securities. That analytical rigor is rare among Houston business brokers and is what lets us defend a valuation under buyer scrutiny.
We combine quantitative analysis (revenue multiples, SDE and EBITDA multiples, discounted cash flow, comparable transactions from our own deal flow) with qualitative factors like customer concentration, management depth, recurring revenue, and industry tailwinds.
Business owners in Houston use our valuations to price a sale, plan for retirement, settle partnership disputes, support estate planning, or benchmark where the business stands today. Valuations are always confidential.
Why Houston Business Owners Choose CGK
90%+ close rate. The industry average is around 20%. We only accept engagements we believe we can close, and our process is built to finish what we start.
Houston-based leadership. Managing Director Matthew Mistica lives in Houston and works with Southeast Texas buyers and sellers, the local banking and legal community, and the dynamics of Houston's growth economy.
CFA-credentialed valuation. Greg Knox, CFA anchors every Houston valuation, a level of analytical rigor rare among Houston business brokers.
Multiple qualified buyers. We don't list and wait. We run a structured outreach process to generate multiple competing offers, so you choose the buyer, not the other way around.
Confidentiality from day one. Employees, customers, competitors, and landlords learn nothing until you decide they should. Every buyer signs an NDA before seeing financials.
Full-service deal coordination. Legal, accounting, banking, tax, and transition planning: your Houston business brokers quarterback the full deal so you keep running the business until closing.
What a Valuation Includes
A CGK business valuation in Houston is a CFA-led financial analysis of your company by experienced Houston business brokers, not a quick-look multiple or a software estimate. Matthew Mistica and the CGK valuation team work from your trailing three to five years of financials, tax returns, and operating detail to build a defensible valuation range that holds up to buyer and lender scrutiny.
The financial recast is where most of the value gets uncovered. We normalize your income statement with appropriate owner compensation, one-time expenses, discretionary spending, and non-operating items so the resulting Seller's Discretionary Earnings or Adjusted EBITDA reflects the true cash flow a buyer will underwrite. For many Houston owners, the recast alone moves the valuation meaningfully above what their tax returns suggest on the surface.
From there, we apply market-based multiples drawn from comparable Texas and national transactions in your industry, factor in company-specific strengths and risks, and deliver a written valuation report with a supported value range. You get a one-on-one review call with Matthew to walk through the numbers, answer questions, and map the valuation to a go-to-market strategy.
- Normalized financial statements with full add-back schedule
- Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and Adjusted EBITDA calculations
- Market-based valuation range using comparable transaction data
- Qualitative scoring of growth drivers, customer concentration, and transferability
- Written valuation report you can share with your CPA or attorney
- One-on-one review call with Matthew Mistica
- Go-to-market recommendation aligned to your valuation and timeline
How Selling Your Houston Business Works
Selling a business in Houston is a multi-month, multi-step process, and most owners only do it once. CGK runs a structured sell-side engagement from the day you sign with us to the day funds hit your account, so nothing falls through the cracks and you always know what comes next.
The steps below are what a typical Southeast Texas sell-side process looks like at CGK. Timelines vary based on deal size, industry, and buyer financing, but most of our engagements close within six to nine months of going to market.
- Valuation and Strategy. We complete a CFA-led valuation, agree on a realistic value range, and build a go-to-market plan tailored to your Houston business, your timeline, and your goals for life after the sale.
- Confidential Marketing Materials. We prepare a blind teaser and a full Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) that tells your company's story to buyers without exposing your name, location, or proprietary detail until a signed NDA is in place.
- Buyer Outreach and Qualification. We run outreach to our private-equity, strategic, and high-net-worth individual buyer network, qualify interest, execute NDAs, and control what information gets shared and when.
- Multi-Buyer Process and Indications of Interest. We work multiple qualified buyers in parallel to create real competition, gather indications of interest, and position your business for the strongest possible offer terms.
- Letter of Intent (LOI). We help you evaluate LOIs on price, structure, earnouts, rollover equity, working capital, and terms, then negotiate the LOI that best fits your goals before committing to exclusivity.
- Due Diligence. We quarterback the due diligence process with the buyer, their advisors, and your CPA and attorney, keeping the deal on schedule and protecting the value we negotiated in the LOI.
- Definitive Agreements and Closing. We coordinate with legal counsel on the purchase agreement, schedules, and closing mechanics, then manage the path to a clean closing and funds wire.
Buy a Business in Houston
CGK Business Sales works with qualified buyers looking to acquire established, profitable businesses in Houston and across Southeast Texas. Whether you're a private-equity firm building a platform, a strategic acquirer pursuing a tuck-in, a search-fund principal looking for your first acquisition, or an individual buyer ready to own and operate, we can help you move from initial interest to closed deal.
Because CGK represents the seller in every engagement, we don't charge buy-side retainer fees. Instead, we add qualified buyers to our active search list, alert you when a listing fits your criteria, and run you through the same disciplined process we run with every buyer in a deal: NDA, CIM review, management call, site visit, LOI, and due diligence.
- Active listings in Houston and throughout Southeast Texas
- Off-market opportunities from our confidential sell-side pipeline
- Deal sizes ranging from $1.5M to $100M in enterprise value
- Industries including manufacturing, distribution, construction services, B2B services, energy services, and more
- Clear, structured process from NDA through closing
- Direct access to Managing Director Matthew Mistica and the CGK deal team
Tell us what you're looking for and we'll add you to our active buyer list. When a Houston or Southeast Texas business comes to market that fits your cash-flow range, investment capacity, and industry focus, we'll reach out with a blind teaser so you can decide whether to sign an NDA and dig in.
Every inquiry is reviewed by Managing Director Matthew Mistica and the CGK deal team. There's no cost to be on our buyer list, and we don't share your information outside CGK.
Houston's Business Environment
Houston business brokers who know this market have a real advantage. Houston is one of the largest and most diverse business markets in the United States. The metro is home to more than 7 million people, more than 20 Fortune 500 headquarters, the Texas Medical Center, the Johnson Space Center, the Port of Houston, and one of the deepest energy and petrochemical ecosystems on the planet. For business owners thinking about a sale, that scale creates real advantages. Buyer demand for Houston and Southeast Texas companies is consistently strong, and a well-run sell-side process can generate competition from private-equity firms, strategic acquirers, and individual buyers in parallel.
Industry diversity matters as much as size. CGK has sold businesses across manufacturing, distribution, construction services, industrial and commercial services, oilfield and energy services, logistics and transportation, B2B services, healthcare services, and specialty retail. Each industry has its own buyer universe, its own valuation multiples, and its own deal-structure norms, and we tailor the go-to-market plan to where your company sits.
Houston's growth story is still accelerating. Corporate relocations from higher-cost states, population growth, infrastructure investment, and the continued expansion of the medical, technology, and industrial base all add up to a buyer pool that is actively deploying capital into Southeast Texas businesses. If you own a profitable Houston company with $1.5M or more in revenue, there are buyers right now who want to talk.
Who's Buying Houston Businesses?
Strong valuations come from real buyer competition. When CGK takes a Houston business to market, we activate a multi-channel outreach process that puts your company in front of qualified buyers across every major buyer category. The right buyer for your business may be a Texas-based strategic acquirer, a Chicago private-equity firm with a Houston portfolio company, a New York family office funding a search-fund principal, or an individual buyer relocating to Southeast Texas and writing a personal check. In every engagement, we run them all in parallel.
Today's Houston buyer pool includes:
- Private-equity firms. Middle-market and lower-middle-market PE funds actively seeking Southeast Texas platforms and tuck-in acquisitions across industrial, services, healthcare, and distribution sectors.
- Strategic acquirers. Larger companies in your industry or adjacent industries looking to expand their Houston footprint through acquisition rather than organic growth.
- Family offices and independent sponsors. High-net-worth investors and capital groups deploying long-hold capital into Texas operating businesses.
- Search-fund principals. MBA-trained operator-buyers backed by institutional capital, focused on profitable, owner-operated businesses in the $1.5M to $10M SDE range.
- Individual buyers relocating to Houston. Experienced executives moving to Texas to own and operate, often SBA-qualified and ready to close.
- International buyers. Capital flowing into Houston from Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, often looking for US operating platforms with strong management teams.
Every buyer who enters a CGK process signs an NDA before receiving confidential information. We qualify fit, available capital, and intent before your identity is ever disclosed.
When to Sell Your Houston Business
The best Houston business brokers will tell you there is no single right moment to sell a Houston business. The best moment depends on a mix of where your company is in its growth curve, where the market is in the cycle, and where you are in your own life and career. The owners who realize the strongest valuations are usually the ones who start the conversation early, not the ones who wait until they are ready to be out.
As a general rule, you want to go to market when your business is showing stable or growing revenue, clean profitability, and a management team or operating setup that a new owner can step into without you. Houston's current environment, active buyer demand, favorable capital availability, and continued corporate and population growth into Southeast Texas, is still working in sellers' favor for most industries we cover.
Common signals that it is time to start the conversation:
- You have a strong year or two in the books. Buyers pay on a combination of trailing performance and forward trajectory. Selling on the way up protects value.
- You are ready for the next chapter. Retirement, a health event, a family priority, a new venture, or a founder-partner buyout can all drive a sale. Planning twelve to twenty-four months ahead gives you real leverage.
- You are carrying more risk than you want to. If most of your net worth is tied up in the business, a partial or full sale can de-risk your personal balance sheet.
- Your industry is consolidating. When private-equity or strategic buyers start rolling up companies in your space, valuations are often at or near their peak for that cycle.
- You are losing energy for the business. Burnout, stalled growth, or a loss of day-to-day engagement quietly erode value the longer they continue.
- A buyer has already approached you. Unsolicited offers are rarely your best outcome. A competitive CGK process typically produces a materially better result than a single-bidder negotiation.
If any of the above sounds like where you are right now, a confidential valuation conversation is the right next step. There is no obligation, and nothing leaves our office.
What's Driving Demand for Houston Businesses
Buyer demand for Houston businesses has stayed elevated through cycles that have cooled other metros, and experienced Houston business brokers see that demand translating into stronger valuations. The reasons are structural, not temporary, and they directly affect what a buyer is willing to pay for your company.
Population and corporate growth. Texas continues to lead the country in net inbound migration and corporate relocations, and Houston is one of the primary destinations. More residents and more corporate headquarters mean more end-customers, more hiring, and more acquisition activity across industries.
A deep and diverse industrial base. Energy, petrochemical, medical, aerospace, logistics, manufacturing, construction services, and professional services all operate at meaningful scale inside the Houston metro. Buyers who want exposure to any of these categories have to consider Houston, which creates real competitive pressure on any well-run deal process.
Private-equity capital looking for homes. Middle-market and lower-middle-market PE funds continue to raise large pools of capital with defined hold periods. That capital has to be deployed, and Texas operating businesses remain one of the most sought-after targets in the country.
SBA lending and favorable buyer financing. The SBA 7(a) program and a strong regional bank lending environment make it possible for individual and search-fund buyers to close on Houston businesses in the $1.5M to $10M SDE range with reasonable equity checks. More qualified buyers at the table means stronger valuations.
A Texas tax and regulatory environment buyers want to be in. No state income tax, a business-friendly regulatory posture, and a legal environment that respects deal-making attract both operators and capital from higher-friction states. Many of the buyers we talk with are specifically seeking Texas platforms.
When these forces combine, as they are right now, a well-prepared Houston business with clean financials, a transferable operating model, and a credible growth story can command a premium. CGK's job is to make sure your business is presented in a way that captures that premium.
Confidentiality in the Sale of Your Houston Business
Confidentiality is the starting point of every CGK engagement with Houston business brokers in charge of the process. If your employees, customers, suppliers, competitors, or lenders find out prematurely that your business is for sale, the consequences can range from manageable to catastrophic. Our entire process is built to prevent that.
Every buyer who enters a CGK process goes through the same gatekeeping sequence. First, a blind teaser: a one- or two-page summary that describes your business by industry, geography, revenue range, and financial profile without naming the company, its owners, its location, its customers, or any proprietary detail a buyer could use to identify you. Second, a signed non-disclosure agreement. Third, and only then, the Confidential Information Memorandum and deeper diligence materials.
We also control the pace of disclosure after NDA. Buyer-side management calls, site visits, customer detail, and proprietary financials are released in stages as the buyer proves commercial seriousness and financial capacity. If a buyer drops out, they are contractually bound to return or destroy all materials and are prohibited from contacting your customers, employees, or vendors.
Internally, we limit what your team knows and when. In most of our engagements, the only people inside the seller's company who know a sale process is running are the owner and, where necessary, the CFO or a trusted deputy. Key employees are typically not brought into the tent until after a Letter of Intent is signed and a confidential retention conversation is warranted.
- Blind teaser released before any NDA
- NDA required before any identifying or proprietary information is shared
- Staged disclosure throughout due diligence
- Contractual return-or-destroy obligation if a buyer exits
- No direct buyer contact with your employees, customers, or vendors without your written approval
- Internal visibility limited to owner-designated personnel
We have built the CGK process around confidentiality from day one, and we will walk you through exactly how it works before you commit to anything.
Frequently Asked Questions About Selling a Business in Houston
How much is my Houston business worth?
The value of your Houston business depends on factors including revenue, profitability, industry, growth trends, and local market conditions. CGK Business Sales offers a free, confidential business valuation for Houston business owners. We analyze your financials, compare recent transaction data in the Houston market, and provide a realistic valuation range so you can make an informed decision about selling. Call (713) 588-0240 to get started.
How long does it take to sell a business in Houston?
Most businesses in Houston sell within 6 to 12 months from listing to closing. The timeline depends on factors like asking price accuracy, financial documentation, industry demand, and buyer financing. CGK's 90%+ closing ratio, compared to the roughly 20% industry average, means we price and market businesses effectively, which often reduces time on market.
Why should I use a business broker to sell my Houston business?
Selling a business is one of the most complex financial transactions most owners will ever undertake. It requires expertise in valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, and deal structuring. Business owners who sell without a broker typically achieve significantly lower sale prices and face a much higher risk of the deal falling through. CGK Business Sales has a 90%+ success rate, compared to the industry average of roughly 20%, and our team's investment banking and finance backgrounds ensure Houston business owners get maximum value.
How does CGK Business Sales keep my Houston business sale confidential?
Confidentiality is critical. If employees, competitors, or customers learn about a sale prematurely, it can damage your business. CGK uses a multi-layered approach: we never disclose your business name in marketing materials, we require all potential buyers to sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving any identifying information, and we carefully screen and financially qualify every buyer before they learn any details about your business.
What does a business broker charge to sell a business in Houston?
CGK Business Sales works on a success-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs and we only earn our fee when your business successfully sells. This fully aligns our interests with yours. We are motivated to get you the highest possible price. We represent businesses with annual revenues from $1.5 million to $100 million. Call our Houston office at (713) 588-0240 for a free, no-obligation consultation.
What industries are driving business sales in Houston?
Houston's diversified economy means strong buyer demand across many sectors, but energy services, healthcare businesses near the Texas Medical Center, manufacturing and industrial services, construction and trades, and logistics companies connected to the Port of Houston are consistently among the most active acquisition targets. Houston's size and economic diversity also mean strong demand for restaurants, professional services, and technology businesses.
Does CGK serve the entire Greater Houston area?
Yes. CGK Business Sales represents business owners across the entire Greater Houston area, including The Woodlands, Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Cypress, and everywhere in between. Our Houston Managing Director, Matthew Mistica, has deep roots in the Houston market and the buyer network to connect your business with qualified acquirers throughout the region.
Meet Your Houston Team
Every CGK engagement in Houston is led by a Managing Director who lives in the market and backed by the full CGK firm. Houston sellers get direct relationship, local market knowledge, and day-to-day accountability at the top of the engagement, and institutional-grade valuation, deal structuring, and buyer reach behind it.
Matthew Mistica — Managing Director, Houston
Matthew lives in Houston and leads CGK's Southeast Texas engagements. He brings more than fifteen years of combined finance and entrepreneurship experience, including seven years in Corporate Finance with Chevron Corporation and Shell Oil, where he worked as a financial analyst across upstream drilling business units and downstream refinery margin optimization. That work gives him a direct, practical read on what actually drives enterprise value inside an operating business.
Matthew is also a founder-operator in his own right. He started, grew, and eventually sold through CGK a successful biohazard remediation and hoarding-removal company with locations in Houston and Austin. That experience, going through a full sell-side process as the owner on the other side of the table, shapes how he works with Houston sellers today.
Matthew graduated at the top of his class with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, minor in Economics, from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He earned his MBA from the University of Houston, focusing in Business Management, and was the recipient of the Dean's Award for Academic Excellence.
Greg Knox — Managing Principal, CGK Business Sales
Greg provides firm-level support for every CGK engagement in Houston, including valuation oversight, deal-structuring input, and buyer-side strategy on larger transactions. Greg holds the CFA and CAIA charters along with an MBA from Cornell, and he spent more than twenty-five years in middle-market investment banking, private equity, and institutional trading at Deutsche Bank, T. Rowe Price, and Wachovia Securities before CGK.
Previously, Greg was a top-ten M&A advisor worldwide for three consecutive years at a global business brokerage. He is also a multiple-time business owner himself, which means he approaches every engagement with a founder's perspective and a capital-markets toolkit behind it. On Houston engagements, Greg brings institutional-grade valuation rigor, buyer-tested deal structuring, and the capital-markets perspective that turns a good sale into the best possible outcome for the seller.

How to Finance a Business Acquisition
Financing a business acquisition is one of the most important steps in the buying process, and it is also one of the most misunderstood.
