Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions from San Antonio Business Owners
Answers to the questions we hear most often from business owners in San Antonio and the surrounding area who are considering a sale, recapitalization, or acquisition.
Selling a business in San Antonio typically involves engaging a qualified M&A advisor who will prepare your business for market, identify qualified buyers, manage due diligence, and negotiate deal terms. The process usually takes 6 to 9 months. Wilcox Investment Bankers manages the full process from initial valuation through closing.
We work with privately held commercial and industrial businesses in the $20M to $250M revenue range — including manufacturers, defense-adjacent service businesses, healthcare services companies, distributors, and commercial service providers.
Most middle-market businesses are valued as a multiple of EBITDA. The specific multiple depends on the industry, growth rate, customer concentration, and current buyer appetite. A Wilcox engagement begins with a market-based valuation before any outreach to buyers.
Texas remains one of the most active states for middle-market M&A. Business-friendly regulation, no state income tax, and a diversified economy make Texas companies attractive to both strategic acquirers and private equity. Demand for quality Texas businesses has remained consistently strong.
Yes. Wilcox manages every engagement with strict confidentiality protocols. Buyers sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving any identifying information, and your employees, customers, and competitors are not informed during the marketing process.
For businesses with $20M or more in revenue, an investment banker typically delivers better outcomes. Investment bankers run a structured, competitive process that maximizes buyer competition and sale price. Business brokers generally serve smaller transactions with a more passive listing approach.
