Broker Biography
Introduction
I'm Joel Duran, founder of Duran Advisors, a credentialed sell-side M&A and exit-planning practice headquartered in Metairie, Louisiana. I have more than 15 years of deal-making experience across business valuation and M&A sell-side engagements, and I maintain eight active certifications, on purpose, so one advisor can cover work that often gets handed off to specialists at other firms: CM&AA (Certified M&A Advisor), M&AMI (Mergers & Acquisitions Master Intermediary), CM&AP (Certified M&A Professional), CEPA (Certified Exit Planning Advisor), CVGA (Certified Value Growth Advisor), Certified Value Builder, CAIM (Certified Acquisition Integration Manager), and CMSBB (Certified Main Street Business Broker). I am an IBBA Past Educator and serve on Exit Planning Institute board committees.
Duran Advisors represents owners of businesses with roughly $1 million to $25 million in annual revenue across the Gulf South, including New Orleans Metro, the North Shore, Baton Rouge, Houma-Thibodaux, and South Mississippi. We work three ways that set us apart: deep regional expertise in the Gulf South market; coordinated collaboration with your existing CPA, attorney, and financial advisor rather than against them; and an education-driven approach, so you understand your options and can make confident decisions with methodologies you can see and numbers you can verify.
Our focus is the full sell-side engagement: business valuation, confidential marketing, buyer identification and outreach, and guiding a transaction through diligence to close, including working effectively with sophisticated individual buyers, not only private equity. If you are considering a sale or planning your eventual exit, I welcome a confidential conversation.
Services Provided
Sell-side M&A advisory and business brokerage for lower middle market and upper Main Street companies (roughly $1M to $25M in revenue). Engagements include business valuation under NACVA Professional Standards methodology; Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) preparation; confidential go-to-market and buyer identification; structured-sale and auction processes; negotiation and deal structuring; and management of due diligence through closing and transition. We also provide exit planning using the Exit Planning Institute Value Acceleration Methodology and value-growth advisory to build business value ahead of a sale. We coordinate with your CPA, attorney, and financial advisor and serve the Gulf South, including New Orleans Metro, the North Shore, Baton Rouge, Houma-Thibodaux, and South Mississippi.
