I buy New Mexico businesses from owners
who are ready to retire.
No brokers, no out of state buyers, no private equity.
I'm a local New Mexico businessman, born and raised here, with several established businesses across the state.
I buy profitable, well-built companies from owners who are ready to retire — honoring the legacy you've built, taking care of your employees and customers, and structuring the sale around what works for you, whether that's payment up front or steady payouts over time.
Every conversation stays confidential.
Why sell your business to a local?
You deserve privacy
You've built a great business and the last thing you need is nosey brokers, tire-kickers, and tours during business hours. Your team, your customers, and your competitors don't hear about it until you're ready.
Your Legacy
You and I both know how hard it is to build a profitable business. Honoring what you've built — your name, your reputation, the way you do things — is the whole point.
A fair, direct deal
No broker fees, no parade of tire-kickers, no finance guys lecturing you on the business you built. One buyer, one conversation, terms that work for everyone — not just one side.
Your people, your customers
To private equity and out-of-state buyers, everything turns into a number. I take care of employees and customers because they're the lifeblood of the business — and the reason it's worth buying.
You're probably wondering...
What kinds of businesses do you buy?
1
Profitable, established New Mexico businesses with loyal employees and steady customers. Most often that's service businesses, light industrial, distribution, specialty retail, agriculture-related companies, and small commercial businesses with steady cash flow (laundromats, car washes, and similar) — usually somewhere between $1M and $5M in annual revenue. If you're not sure whether your business fits, reach out. If it's not a match, I won’t waste your time.
How do you value businesses?

Every owner wants to know what their business is worth. I'll usually pay more than private equity or an out-of-state buyer because I'm not trying to strip costs or flip it — I'm planning to operate it locally for the long haul. Every business is different, but it generally comes down to profitability, the industry, and how steady the team and customer base are.
Why do you buy businesses like this?

Owning and running small businesses is how I earn a living. The best outcomes for buyers and sellers happen when they can meet directly, without brokers, and have honest conversations. My parents' generation built some of the best small businesses in New Mexico, but without kids or family to take them over, a lot of owners feel stuck — they want to retire, but they don't want to walk away from what they built or hand it to someone who'll wreck it. I'd like to be the option that lets them retire and feel good about what comes next, rewarded for a lifetime of hard work.
I get calls and letters about this all the time.
Are you different?

I get those too — constantly. Most of these companies are trying to become the broker for your business, and you can probably guess how that works out. I'm absolutely not a broker. I'm not licensed. I'm not a private-equity guy or a hedge fund manager. Just a local businessman who wants to find great local businesses to buy. I'd rather spend money on advertising to talk directly to owners than pay a broker to find "deals." If you reach out, you won't get put on a list or bugged to death. Scout's honor.
It's incredibly common to talk with business owners who know they want to retire but need another year or two of income, or who have a large project they need to finish. I always advocate for talking early — a lot of owners don't realize they can spread payments over several years, which can help with taxes and create a steady retirement income. I've also found creative ways to keep family members involved in the business after the sale, or to phase the owner out gradually rather than all at once. There's no obligation to move fast, and an early conversation often shapes a better deal when the time comes.

I’m interested, but not ready…
How do we keep this confidential?

I know what it's like to sell a business. You're worried what happens if customers find out, if employees hear about the sale, and it's completely valid. I value privacy just as much and because of this, everything starts with a Non-Disclosure Agreement and all conversations are kept confidential. I always suggest off-site meetings, after-hours visits if we need to walk the property, and discreet communication on your terms. You decide what gets shared and when.
What happens if I reach out?

You can fill out the form below or give me a call. You'll talk directly with my assistant, who'll gather some basic information. If your business isn't a good fit, I won't waste your time. If it is, she'll send over a pre-signed mutual NDA — so what we discuss stays between us — and schedule a time to talk by phone or meet in person if you'd rather. No obligation, total confidentiality.
