Selling A Business In Arizona
Arizona is in the middle of a real ownership transition. A large share of the state's established businesses are owned by people who built them over decades and are now at or near the age where they want out. That means more sellers are testing the market at the same time, and buyers who know what they are looking at have plenty of options. Getting a fair price in that environment takes more than sticking a number on a listing site and waiting for the phone to ring.
National business-for-sale marketplaces treat your company like a used car listing: same template, same generic questions, no idea what a landscaping company in Tucson is actually worth versus a manufacturer in Mesa. Local representation matters because the value of your business depends on local buyer demand, local financing, and local comparable sales, and a broker who works this state daily knows the difference. I have represented sellers from Phoenix and the East Valley to Tucson and Northern Arizona, and I bring the same hands-on approach to every one of them.
Every buyer I bring to your business is screened before they learn anything about it. That means a signed nondisclosure agreement and a real look at whether they have the money and the background to actually close, not just the curiosity to ask questions. Your employees, your customers, and your competitors do not find out your business is for sale until you are ready for them to know.

Phil Reese
I have been a business owner myself, so I know what it feels like to hand over something you built. In 1995 I co-founded First Impression Security Doors out of my garage in Mesa, grew it into a full manufacturing facility in Gilbert with 13 employees, and sold it successfully. That company has since grown into Arizona's largest ornamental iron firm, and I carried that firsthand experience straight into brokering.
I represent sellers only, statewide, and I work every listing myself instead of handing it off to an associate. I hold the Master CBI designation, the highest tier of my credential, and I built my practice on a simple standard: no pressure, no gimmicks, no surprises. I would rather tell you an honest number than a flattering one.
"I'm not a volume lister. I found my niche, and I want to become a master at it and just keep getting better and better and better."

★★★★★Arizona Business Broker FAQs
Does An Arizona Business Broker Need A Real Estate License?
In Arizona, a business broker only needs a real estate license if the sale includes real property or a lease assignment. A straight sale of business assets, with no real estate or lease changing hands, doesn't require one. I hold an active Arizona real estate license anyway, so either way you're covered.
How Long Does It Take To Sell A Business In Arizona?
Most small to mid-sized Arizona businesses sell in 6 to 12 months through a broker. The timeline moves based on how ready your financials are, your industry, and how the market is behaving. A well-prepared business with clean books tends to move faster than one that isn't.
How Is My Business Valued?
I go through your financials myself, line by line. For most Main Street businesses I build out Seller's Discretionary Earnings, which starts with your net income and adds back your compensation and any legitimate discretionary expenses. Then I compare that to what similar businesses have actually sold for. It's a real number, not a guess.
How Do You Keep My Sale Confidential?
Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know your business is for sale until you're ready for them to know. I market with a blind profile that doesn't name your business, and every buyer signs an NDA before they see anything specific. No pressure, no gimmicks, no surprises.
Is The Valuation Really Free?
Yes. I'll get on the phone with you, ask about your business, and give you an honest read on what it's worth. No cost, no obligation to list with me. I'd rather have that conversation up front than have you guess.
