Broker Biography

Introduction

Tony Depasquale | Business Broker | Vaughn & Associates

tony@vaughnandassoc.com | 702-493-7422 | www.vaughnandassoc.com

I became a business broker because I believe every business represents something bigger than its balance sheet. Behind every listing is a person who built something — sacrificed for it, showed up for it, and eventually reached the moment where it was time to pass it on. I take that seriously.
My job is to make sure that transition happens with integrity, precision, and the kind of professional execution that protects what the seller built and puts the buyer in the best possible position to succeed.

My Background
I hold an MBA and bring a background that spans business operations, financial analysis, culinary arts, and multi-industry professional experience. That combination matters in this work. When I sit across from a seller, I'm not just running numbers — I'm understanding how their business actually operates, where the value lives, and how to communicate that clearly and compellingly to the right buyers.
I joined Vaughn & Associates because the firm shares my standards: confidential, professional, and results-driven. We don't take shortcuts on documentation, we don't overvalue listings to win clients, and we don't treat sellers like just another transaction. Every engagement gets the full treatment — valuation work, professional CIM, targeted marketing, and disciplined deal management from first conversation to closing.

What I Specialize In
My deal experience spans a wide range of industries and transaction types:

Automotive — Used car dealerships, body shops, and full-service repair operations, including dealer license transfer structuring
Food & Beverage — Full-service restaurants, fast casual, franchise resales, and bar/grill concepts
Healthcare & Wellness — IV therapy clinics, wellness studios, and CPOM two-entity medical structures
Trades & Services — Plumbing, painting, collision repair, and specialty service businesses, including state contractor license considerations
Digital & Professional Services — Digital agencies, service-based businesses, and professional firms
Franchises — Both single-unit and multi-unit franchise resales with franchisor coordination

I'm currently working active engagements across Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Canada — which reflects both the scope of our platform and the trust our clients place in our process.

How I Work
Every seller engagement starts with an honest conversation. I want to understand your business, your timeline, your goals, and your concerns. From there, I build a complete picture:
Valuation First. I don't guess at asking prices. I conduct a full SDE recast — normalizing financials, removing non-recurring items, and applying appropriate market multiples to arrive at a defensible, market-aligned valuation. Sellers who come in with accurate pricing sell faster and with fewer renegotiations.
Professional Marketing Materials. Every listing I take gets a multi-section Confidential Information Memorandum — not a one-page flyer. Buyers who receive well-documented information are better qualified, better prepared, and move through due diligence faster.
Buyer Qualification. I manage the NDA and buyer screening process so sellers aren't fielding calls from unqualified parties. Every buyer who gets access to your information has signed a confidentiality agreement and passed an initial qualification review.
Active Deal Management. Once a buyer is identified, the work doesn't stop. I manage offers, counteroffers, LOIs, due diligence timelines, and closing coordination — staying in the deal to keep it moving.

My Commitment to Sellers
Selling a business is one of the most consequential financial decisions a person makes. Most owners do it once. I take that weight seriously.
I will always give you an honest valuation — even when the number is lower than you hoped. I will always tell you where deal risk lives rather than letting it surface at the wrong moment. And I will always work the deal like it matters, because it does.
If you're thinking about selling — even if the timeline is 12–24 months out — reach out. The earlier we talk, the better positioned you'll be when the time comes.

My Commitment to Buyers
Buying a business is an investment in your future. I represent sellers, but I believe the best deals are ones where both sides close with clarity and confidence. I'll always be straight with you about what I know, what the financials show, and where questions need to be answered before you write a check.
If you're a buyer looking for a specific type of business, geography, or deal structure — call me. Our network is active and our pipeline is deep.

A Note on Who I Am
I'm a person of faith who believes that how you do anything is how you do everything. That conviction shows up in every document I produce, every call I take, and every deal I work. My clients trust me with some of the most important decisions of their professional lives. I don't take that lightly.
I'm also a father — four kids who are the reason I push hard and do this work with purpose. When I think about the standard I hold myself to, it starts there.
I'm not in this business to move volume. I'm in it to do it right.

Let's Talk
Whether you're ready to list, exploring a sale, or actively searching for a business to buy, I'd welcome the conversation.

    Scalable 4-Market Concrete Business — 70% Growth, Absentee Owner

    A systemized, multi-market residential and light-commercial concrete business delivering driveways, patios, slabs, sidewalks and related flatwork across four growing Carolina metros.

Revenue has grown from $2.24M (2024) to roughly $3.8M (2025), a 70% increase, and is pacing above $4.0M in 2026. Adjusted seller's discretionary earnings are approximately $445,000.
