Broker Biography
Introduction
I am a business broker with Atlantic Business Brokers, specializing in helping owners sell their companies confidentially and for maximum value. Before becoming a broker, I built and sold five businesses in industries including home services and transportation, including a multimillion-dollar company I bootstrapped from the ground up. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing with a minor in Finance and Communications, and I bring over 20 years of real-world business experience. Having spent years in the trenches running day-to-day operations, I can relate to sellers on a practical level, and understand the hard work, sacrifice, and problem-solving it takes to keep a business thriving. My background allows me to speak the same language as business owners while navigating the complexities of the sale process. I combine market knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and a network of qualified buyers to deliver results while protecting the legacy and relationships my clients have worked so hard to build.
Services Provided
Services Offered
I help business owners sell their companies confidentially and for maximum value while guiding qualified buyers to the right opportunities. Many of my clients are ready to retire, relocate, focus on other ventures, or simply need a change after years of running their business. Others are facing burnout, partnership changes, health challenges, or shifts in their industry. I provide the experience, resources, and discretion to help them make a successful transition.
My services include accurate business valuation and market analysis to determine fair market value, targeted confidential marketing to reach qualified buyers without disrupting operations, buyer screening and financing support to ensure offers are real and fundable, and skilled negotiation and deal structuring to create win-win agreements. I manage the entire transaction process, coordinating with attorneys, CPAs, lenders, and all parties to keep deals moving smoothly to the closing table.
As both a business broker and a serial entrepreneur who has built and sold multiple companies, I understand the challenges owners face in letting go of what they’ve built. My goal is to make the process smooth, confidential, and profitable while protecting the legacy and relationships they’ve worked so hard to create.
By working with me, you can stay focused on running your business while I handle the time-consuming and sensitive work of identifying serious buyers, negotiating the best deal, and managing the process all the way to the closing table.
If you are curious about the value of your business or would like to discuss your options, let’s set up a brief, confidential conversation to see how I can help.

About Rick Hall Every business has a story — and after years of meeting owners across the Carolinas, I’ve learned that no two are alike. Many have built their companies from the ground up, weathered challenges, and poured their lives into creating something lasting. When the time comes to sell, most owners want to know two things: What is my business truly worth? — and who can I trust to guide me through a confidential sale? As a Business Broker with Atlantic Business Brokers, I help owners throughout North and South Carolina plan and complete successful, confidential business sales. I’ve represented companies in HVAC, roofing, plumbing, landscaping, towing, and other service-based industries — the kinds of businesses that keep our communities running every day. Most of my clients are first-time sellers, and I guide them through valuation, pricing, buyer screening, offer structuring, due diligence, and closing — all while maintaining complete confidentiality throughout the process. I also hold a South Carolina real estate license (referral basis), which allows me to assist when a business sale involves commercial property. What I Provide: • Complimentary, no-obligation business valuations • Confidential buyer outreach and screening • Strategic deal structuring (SBA & Non-SBA) • Guidance through offers, negotiations & due diligence • Fully confidential representation from start to close Specialties: Business Valuation · Confidential Sales · HVAC · Plumbing · Roofing · Home Services · Towing · Service-Based Businesses · SBA & Non-SBA Transactions ?
