Dave Cozzocrea

Introduction

With over 25 years of experience as a business broker, I work with business owners, buyers, and investors to navigate one of the most important decisions they will ever make: the sale or acquisition of a business.

I specialize in connecting qualified sellers with a broad and sophisticated buyer pool that includes private investors, private equity firms, and family offices. This ensures businesses are positioned in front of serious, well-capitalized buyers who understand value and are prepared to act.

Selling a business is rarely simple. It is a highly structured process involving valuation, timing, market positioning, negotiation, due diligence, and deal structuring—each with hundreds of moving parts. Without experienced guidance, owners often face avoidable risk, prolonged timelines, or failed transactions.

To strengthen outcomes for my clients, I also work alongside a specialized tax law firm focused exclusively on structuring transactions and mitigating tax exposure during significant liquidity events. This integrated approach helps business owners preserve more of the wealth they have built over a lifetime of effort.

Many owners think about selling years before they take action. In reality, preparation is often the difference between a strong exit and a missed opportunity. A well-prepared business is more attractive to buyers, commands stronger terms, and is far more likely to close successfully.

Whether the goal is retirement, stepping back from day-to-day operations, transitioning into a new venture, or fully exiting, my role is to help owners understand what their business is worth today—and what can be improved to increase value over time.

If you’re considering a sale now, in the near future, or simply want a clear, professional view of where your business stands in today’s market, I can help you evaluate your options and build a path forward.
