Anchor

For owners

A private first note about your firm.

We match business buyers to sellers. Anchor works with owners of small Texas tax and bookkeeping firms who are ready to step back. We look for a buyer who fits, and we bring the two of you together. Anchor does not buy firms itself. We are in the search stage. There are no matched deals to list yet.

Writing to us does not commit you to anything. You choose what to share, and when.

Everything stays private. Your name and numbers go to no buyer without your say.

Who we work with

  • Owners ready to retire or step back

    Someone who wants the right successor and is ready to leave the day-to-day work.

  • A recurring client base

    Clients who come back year after year.

  • Texas tax and bookkeeping firms

    Small firms around New Braunfels and central Texas.

What happens after you write

  1. Intro call

    A conversation about your firm and what you want next. You set the time.

  2. Our homework

    We read the public record and what you choose to share, and write down what a buyer would see.

  3. Buyer matches

    We shortlist buyers who could fit, with our reasons.

  4. Introduction with your yes

    Nobody hears about your firm until you approve that introduction. Your name and numbers go to no buyer without your say.

You can stop the conversation at any point before you sign anything.

What buyers often ask

These are questions buyers often ask. This is not an offer from Anchor to buy a firm.

  • Size

    Roughly $300,000 to $2 million in annual revenue for firms we match. Typical deal sizes buyers discuss stay under $3 million on the quality-of-earnings line, and any SBA 7(a) amount stays at or below $5 million.

  • Valuation

    A firm is valued on normalized earnings (seller's discretionary earnings or adjusted EBITDA), cross-checked against recurring revenue, and adjusted for retention, concentration, and staff depth. An SBA deal uses an independent accredited valuation.

  • Deal structure

    10% down, 15% seller note, and 75% SBA 7(a).

  • Closing timeline

    A first conversation to a signed letter of intent is usually a few weeks. A signed letter of intent to an SBA-financed close is usually about 60 to 120 days, set mostly by the lender, the independent valuation, and records readiness.

Send a note

Your name and an email address are enough to start. Share only what you are comfortable putting in an email before a conversation.

Please leave out client names, tax returns, and financial statements for now. We can talk about what to share, and how, after a first conversation.

Use an address only you read. Our reply will go here.

Leave it blank if you would rather tell us on a call.

A city or county is enough.

In your own words. This site does not publish a profit figure.

What you are open to, optional

What matters most to you: your team, your clients, your name, your timing.
