The communities we serve
Our clients run businesses across Bastrop and the communities around it, including Elgin, Smithville, Cedar Creek, Wyldwood, Circle D-KC Estates and the Camp Swift area. Some own a storefront on a main street. Others run a service company out of a shop and a few trucks. The core of our work is the same for each: an honest valuation, a confidential listing, and buyers who have shown they can close.
Distance is rarely a problem. Much of a sale happens on paper and on calls, so we meet at our office when that suits you and by phone or video when it does not. If you are buying, we can register you for current listings and let you know when something in your range comes up. New listings go to registered buyers first.
What shapes a deal in this part of Texas
- 01
Owned property or a lease
Some owners hold the building as well as the business, while others lease. Owned property can be sold with the company, kept and leased to the buyer, or sold separately, and each choice changes the price, the financing and who can buy. Our Business and Property Sales page walks through those options. With a lease, we look early at the remaining term and whether the landlord must approve an assignment.
- 02
Licenses and permits that must transfer
Many Texas businesses hold permits that do not move automatically with a sale, such as state alcohol permits, food service permits from the county or city, and licenses tied to a person rather than the company. We flag these at the start so closing is not held up by a filing nobody planned for.
- 03
Timing and the seasons
Central Texas summers are long and hot, and many trades and outdoor businesses run hardest from spring through fall. Buyers like to see a full year of numbers, and sellers often prefer to list once a strong season is on the books. We help you choose a window that shows the business fairly.
- 04
Buyers from the wider Austin area
Growth east of Austin has brought new interest, including people who would rather own a business than commute. That interest is welcome, but we still screen every buyer for funds and experience before your name is shared.
- 05
Financing and clean records
Most small business acquisitions are financed in part, often with an SBA-backed loan and sometimes a seller note. Lenders want clear tax returns and a plain picture of owner earnings, so we help sellers put records in order before listing. Buyers can learn more on our Acquisition Financing Guidance page.
