About the Company

TruView Business Advisors is a boutique business brokerage and advisory firm based in Houston, Texas, specializing in the confidential sale of Main Street and lower middle market businesses with annual revenues between $3 million and $50 million. We focus on delivering accurate, data-driven valuations and guiding business owners through successful, discreet exits.

Selling your business is one of the most significant financial decisions you'll ever make. You only get one opportunity to do it right—partnering with an experienced and professional M&A advisor can make all the difference. At TruView Business Advisors, our reputation for excellence is reflected in our industry recognition, including the Better Business Bureau Awards for Excellence – Pinnacle Winner (2023) and Winner of Distinction (2021, 2022, 2024); the M&A Source Executive Club Award (2022, 2023, 2024); and the IBBA Dealmaker and Chairman’s Circle Awards (2022, 2023, 2024).

Our process begins with a comprehensive business valuation conducted by a CPA, Certified Business Intermediary (CBI), and Merger & Acquisition Master Intermediary (M&AMI). We help structure deals and asking prices in a way that maximizes the seller’s after-tax cash proceeds while reflecting the true market value of the business. From valuation through closing, we maintain strict confidentiality while managing the complexities of the transaction with professionalism and care.

TruView Business Advisors is more than just one advisor—it’s a collaborative team of specialists, including CPAs, attorneys, valuators, lenders, and marketing professionals. Each engagement is supported by a hand-selected team tailored to the specific needs of the client and the business.

You’ve invested years building a successful business—a lasting legacy of your vision, hard work, and leadership. When the time comes to exit, whether now or in the future, we help you plan strategically to maximize your after-tax cash proceeds. We start with a no-obligation opinion of value and a comprehensive evaluation to prepare your business for sale.

Selling your business is one of the most critical decisions you’ll ever make.

Our services include:
• No Cost Opinion of Value: Gain a clear, unbiased estimate of your business's worth at no charge.
• Expert Packaging & Marketing: We craft compelling, professional marketing materials to attract qualified buyers.
• Extensive Buyer Network: We tap into a vast database of ready, willing, and able buyers, eliminating "tire kickers."
• Proven Track Record: A successful track record in helping owners exit on favorable terms.
• Creative Deal Structuring: Innovative approaches to negotiations that meet the needs of both parties.
• Personalized Service: Personal, high-touch guidance through every phase of the transaction.
• Professional Network: Collaboration with top attorneys, bankers, and CPAs experienced in M&A
• Strict Confidentiality: Protecting your sensitive business information from employees, customers, and competitors.

As a CPA and full-time M&A Advisor, I bring over 25 years of financial and operational experience across industries. My goal is simple: to help business owners exit confidently, profitably, and with peace of mind.
