Broker Biography
Introduction
Buying or selling a business is one of the most critical financial and operational transitions an owner or entrepreneur will ever navigate. As an Arizona Associate Broker with Hub AZ Brokers / HUB Commercial LLC, I help Main Street business owners and serious buyers manage that transition with clarity, strict confidentiality, and data-backed market valuation.
My focus centers on small-to-midsize business acquisitions and related commercial assets across the Phoenix East Valley and greater Arizona market. Whether you are an owner preparing an exit strategy to harvest your life’s work, or a buyer seeking a cash-flowing venture, I bridge the gap between complex financials and successful execution.
How I Help Business Owners & Buyers
Confidential Business Marketing: Protecting your business’s proprietary information, staff morale, and customer base through structured NDAs and vetted buyer screening before sharing operational data.
Realistic Business Valuations: Aligning your historical financials (SDE/EBITDA), assets, and market comps to set a defensible listing price that attracts qualified capital.
Buyer Acquisition Support: Helping entrepreneurs and investors source vetted opportunities, conduct due diligence, and navigate SBA lending or seller financing structures.
Dual-Asset Strategy: Assisting with simultaneous transactions involving commercial real estate, lease assignments, or standalone business asset sales.
End-to-End Deal Management: Coordinating with CPAs, attorneys, escrow officers, and lenders to keep the timeline on track through closing.
My Approach
Successful deals require more than a listing; they demand clear communication, discretion, and proactive problem-solving. I treat every transaction as a partnership, ensuring you have clear metrics at every stage from letter of intent to final closing documents.
If you are considering an exit plan, seeking a confidential business valuation, or actively searching for your next acquisition in Arizona, let’s connect for a confidential consultation.
Would you like to highlight specific Main Street industries you focus on (such as automotive, service businesses, or retail), or keep it broadly positioned for all local business acquisitions?
Services Provided
Confidential Business Intermediary & Sales: Full-lifecycle representation for owners preparing to exit. We manage marketing via blind profiles, screen prospects, require strict NDAs, and ensure your staff, vendors, and customers remain unaware until the deal is secure.
Business Valuation & Financial Recasting: Establishing defensible listing prices by normalizing financials. We calculate Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and EBITDA, analyze balance sheets, and review tangible/intangible assets against regional comps to reflect true earnings power.
Buyer Acquisition & Advisory: Helping entrepreneurs, family offices, and corporate refugees find profitable, cash-flowing ventures. We assist with initial screening, target business search, operational review, and negotiating Letters of Intent (LOIs).
Commercial Real Estate & Lease Negotiations: Seamless handling of dual-asset deals where real property is tied to the business. We also negotiate favorable lease assignments, renewals, or space relocations with landlords during an asset transfer.
Due Diligence Coordination & Deal Packaging: Assembling the necessary documentation, equipment lists, and records to streamline due diligence, keeping buyer questions answered and audits transparent.
Financing & Transaction Management: Structuring viable purchase terms, including SBA 7(a) loan packages, conventional financing, and seller-carry notes. We collaborate directly with lenders, escrow teams, CPAs, and legal counsel to keep closings on schedule.
