- Our process is designed to identify and generate interest from multiple buyers, including strategic and financial buyers, to achieve the maximum price.
Trusted Business Brokers
Corporate Investment business brokers have sold over 400 businesses since 1984. Many of these were in the $1 million to $5 million sales price range, and are typically run by the original founder who was ready to move on and receive the maximum value for their hard work. These types of businesses are often acquired by financial buyers or individuals who want to run the businesses themselves.
- Our business brokers have experience selling some of Austin, San Antonio and Central Texas' most well known businesses valued at $1 million to $5 million.
- We have a large and highly-qualified financial and individual buyer pool that we have developed, who are actively seeking the right business opportunity.

“
Fifty percent of my adult life was spent building Dustless-Air Filter Company...I can say with confidence that the decision to entrust Corporate Investment with the marketing and sale of my business proved to be an excellent choice...More than receiving top dollar for my company, their careful marketing to, and screening of, potential buyers resulted in the business being acquired by a team I am confident will continue the legacy I am proud of.

“
We chose Corporate Investment to represent us in the sale of the company due to their experience and reputation...Having the Corporate Investment team on our side of the table, in every meeting and phone call, with their financial knowledge really helped in negotiations. I don't know how you could sell your business without someone with their experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Corporate Investment to any business owner who want to sell their business."
