Through a strategic partnership with SBB Capital Group, Brent also works with clients in the lower middle market, helping companies with $5M-$50M in annual revenue structure complex mergers and acquisitions. Whether it’s a Main Street seller or a larger middle-market business, Brent and his team deliver tailored solutions, discretion, and results.
Guiding You to What’s Next
To Brent, business brokerage isn’t just about spreadsheets and deal docs. It’s about people. It’s about helping an owner finally take that long-awaited trip or step into retirement. It’s about guiding a young entrepreneur to their first business purchase. It’s about unlocking possibility.
Every client who works with Brent benefits from his unwavering commitment to fairness, honesty, and follow-through. He listens deeply, acts strategically, and delivers results with a steady hand and a servant-leader heart.
