Buying a Business

This are the steps to buy your new Business in Texas.

Steps in Our Business Buying Process

  1. Define Your Objectives
    We start by learning about your skills, interests, budget, and what you want from owning a business—so we can recommend the best opportunities.

  2. Search & Find Opportunities
    Using our network and market expertise, we locate businesses for sale that match your criteria—financial strength, industry, size, and location.

  3. Review Business Value
    We perform or help obtain business valuations or Broker’s Opinions of Value using comparable sales, income, assets, and local market data.

  4. Evaluate & Visit
    When a likely business is identified, we arrange site visits, review financials and contracts, and help you assess strengths and risks.

  5. Negotiate & Make an Offer
    We guide you through structuring offers, negotiating terms, and making sure that all your interests are protected.

  6. Due Diligence & Closing
    We assist with due diligence: legal, financial, operational docs, and then support you through to signing and ownership transfer.

  7. Post-Purchase Support
    After the deal closes, we remain available to help with transition issues—training, operations, or any follow-up you need.

Working with BizRevive as a Buyer. 

A Simple, Transparent Approach to Buyer Representation

At BizRevive Business Brokers, our goal is to become a trusted partner throughout your business acquisition journey. Buying a business is a major decision, and our role is to help you save time, reduce risk, and negotiate with confidence.

To provide focused, hands-on support, we work with buyers under a structured advisory model designed to align incentives and ensure dedicated representation.

How Our Buyer Advisory Fees Work

Rather than charging large upfront success fees, BizRevive operates on a monthly advisory model that allows buyers to receive consistent guidance while actively searching for the right opportunity.

  • Advisory Rate: $125 per hour

  • Monthly Commitment: 10 hours of dedicated support per month

  • Initial Engagement: 3-month prepaid advisory agreement

  • Ongoing Support: Renewable in 3-month terms as needed

This structure ensures you have an experienced business broker actively working on your behalf each month.

What’s Included in Our Buyer Support

Your monthly advisory time may include:

  • Identifying and sourcing on-market and off-market opportunities

  • Reviewing listings and screening businesses

  • Coordinating with sellers and listing brokers

  • Assisting with offers, negotiations, and deal structure

  • Supporting due diligence and transaction coordination

Our focus is to help you move forward efficiently and confidently at every stage.

Additional Time, When Needed

Some months may require more support than others. If your advisory needs exceed the included 10 hours in a given month, additional time will simply roll into a new 10-hour monthly advisory block at the same hourly rate.

How Fees Are Offset at Closing

Whenever a transaction closes and the selling or listing broker shares commission, BizRevive will credit your paid advisory fees against our portion of the commission whenever possible.

In many cases, this means buyers recover part or all of their advisory fees through the transaction.

Minimum Advisory Fee & Consulting Disclosure

In certain situations—such as off-market transactions, direct seller negotiations, or listings where no commission is offered to a buyer’s broker—a minimum total advisory fee of $10,000 applies.

In these cases, advisory fees are considered non-refundable consulting fees, reflecting the professional time, expertise, and resources committed to helping you evaluate, negotiate, and pursue business opportunities.

Our Commitment to You

This approach allows us to:

  • Work with serious, motivated buyers

  • Provide proactive, personalized attention

  • Remain fully aligned with your acquisition goals

Above all, BizRevive is committed to transparency, professionalism, and acting as a trusted advisor throughout your business buying journey.
