Frequently Asked Questions
About Mergers & Acquisitions in Arizona
Navigating the M&A process can be complex, especially in a rapidly evolving market like Arizona. Exploring a sale, planning an acquisition, or just starting to understand your options? These common questions offer helpful insights for Arizona business owners.
Selling a business in Arizona typically involves several stages: valuation, preparation of financial and operational documents, identifying qualified buyers, negotiating deal terms, and closing. An M&A advisor like Drachman M&A Co. guides you through each step, maintains confidentiality, and helps position your business to attract the right buyers at the right price.
Most middle market transactions take anywhere from 4 to 9 months to complete, depending on deal complexity, buyer financing, and readiness of documentation. Companies with clean financials and strong operational performance often move faster, while more complex businesses may require extended diligence. Working with a seasoned advisor can help accelerate the timeline and avoid costly delays.
Buyers are currently showing strong interest in Arizona businesses with recurring revenue, stable cash flow, and growth potential. This includes companies in logistics, food and beverage distribution, water and ice manufacturing, CPG, and specialty equipment. Well-run operations with scalable models and professional management teams often command premium valuations.
While it’s possible to sell a business without an advisor, working with an experienced M&A firm like Drachman M&A Co. significantly increases your chances of achieving the best outcome. Advisors bring strategic positioning, buyer access, negotiation expertise, and a process-driven approach that protects confidentiality and maximizes value.
Business valuations in Arizona are typically based on a combination of factors, including EBITDA, growth trends, customer concentration, industry benchmarks, and risk profile. An experienced advisor can help you understand your business’s true market value and what steps may increase it before going to market.
