The Texas Business Opportunity Bulletin is updated each Monday morning with current businesses for sale by business category. Texas business owners can track the activity within their category, as well as be alert to any strategic acquisition business opportunity that may appear in the market. Businesses for sale in any given region provide an indication of the economic vitality of both the area as well as the category of the businesses for sale.
A weekly following of the Texas Businesses for sale listings can yield insights into an industry as well as uncover a specific strategic business opportunity. When reviewing a category, special consideration should be paid to the selling prices as a multiple of both revenues and the adjusted net (also known as the seller's discretionary earnings). Note that other factors such as available financing and real estate greatly affect the price.

Confidentiality Policy
As business brokers, we protect the identities of the businesses, the business owners and prospective buyers until we receive completed, signed Confidentiality Agreements and personal or corporate financial statements providing proof of the buyer’s financial competence to meet the down payment. We understand that the sale and purchase of businesses must be held in the strictest confidence to give the involved principals the opportunity to advise employees, customers and others of the transfer when they feel the time is appropriate
