Executive MBA — Chicago Booth
## Austin's Business Broker for Owners Who Built Something Worth Protecting

Many business brokers learn about deals from textbooks. I've lived them — as a buyer, a seller, a syndicator, and an institutional advisor managing $450M+ in assets.

That experience taught me something some brokers never learn: every business sale is really three transactions — a financial transaction, an operational transition, and a deeply personal moment for the owner who built it.

I founded Travis Business Advisors because Austin business owners deserve better than a listing on a portal and a prayer. If you've spent 15, 20, or 30 years building a business — whether it's a car wash, dental practice, HVAC company, or self-storage facility — you deserve an advisor who can:

- Value what you've actually built, including the real estate underneath it
- Structure deals that protect your wealth, not just close fast
- Guide you through due diligence, negotiation, and closing with the rigor of an institutional transaction

I specialize in real-estate-intensive businesses because they require dual-asset valuation, complex deal structuring, and SBA lending expertise that many brokers simply don't have.
