Meet Nabi and Kathleen:

They spent 14 years building a remarkable biotech firm, creating tools researchers use to discover disease cures.

When they decided to retire, we uncovered hidden strategic value that a simple financial valuation would have overlooked.

By running a global auction, we secured multiple offers, maximizing their exit and finding a buyer who truly honored their legacy.

At Arx, we combine advanced data insights, modern technology, and a network of global talent to craft sophisticated, targeted campaigns that reveal your business’s true worth. Our approach doesn’t just connect you with a buyer. It ensures you find the right buyer who sees the full value of what you’ve built.

Meet Ted:

After years building his retail business, Ted was ready to retire. But he’d never sold a business before and had no idea where to start.

“Taking the first steps was daunting,” Ted told us. Like many first-time sellers, he worried about getting the process wrong, leaving money on the table, or ending up in a deal that fell apart.

We walked Ted through every stage, from initial valuation through closing, answering questions, explaining what to expect, and making sure nothing caught him off guard. No pressure, no rushing, just steady guidance at his pace.

The result? Ted closed his deal and stepped into retirement with confidence, knowing he’d gotten the outcome his years of hard work deserved.

“Brecht provided incredible support on our behalf and made sure we were diligent about the process, the challenges and the rewards of selling our 19 year old company. We would absolutely insist on Brecht’s guidance should we ever find ourselves working in a similar set of circumstances.”

Celebrating a Legacy and a New Chapter
After 50 years at the helm, Huston had earned his retirement. But businesses built on decades of owner knowledge and legacy systems don’t transfer easily - this was a complex deal that required the right buyer, not just any buyer. We found Dan, an independent searcher with the patience to learn and the capability to lead. The transition took work, but Huston got to step back knowing his life’s work landed in capable hands.

FAQs

How do you keep the sale of my business confidential?
We require nondisclosure agreements and only share details with vetted, qualified buyers. Confidentiality is our top priority.
How do you figure out what my business is worth?
We analyze your adjusted cash flow and market comps, then weigh risk and growth factors to recommend a price range. We use a variety of methods depending on the nature of your business.
What does it cost to work with Arx Business Brokers?
There are no upfront fees. We’re paid a success fee at closing, aligned with getting you the best possible result.
How long does it usually take to sell a business?
Most sales close in 6–12 months. The timeline depends on your industry, financials, and how ready your documents are.
Who are the typical buyers for businesses like mine?
Buyers include private equity firms, strategic acquirers, competitors or individuals with financing. We target the right group for your business.
Why should I choose Arx over selling on my own?
We create competition among buyers, handle negotiations, and keep the process confidential—helping you maximize value while avoiding costly mistakes.
How much does a business broker charge in Oregon?
Most Oregon brokers charge a success fee between 8% and 12% for businesses under $5M, with rates stepping down on larger deals. At Arx, there are no upfront fees - we’re paid at closing, so our incentives are aligned with yours. Our fee structure is published and transparent.
How long does it take to sell a business in Oregon?
Plan for 6 to 9 months from engagement to close. The timeline depends on your industry, financial documentation readiness, and how quickly we can generate qualified buyer interest. Seasonal businesses in tourism or agriculture markets may need strategic timing.
Do I need a license to sell my business in Oregon?
You don’t need a license to sell your own business. However, Oregon requires business brokers to hold a real estate license since many transactions involve associated real estate. Arx is fully licensed in Oregon.
Should I use a local Oregon broker or a national firm?
You need both local market knowledge and national buyer reach. A Portland-only broker can’t access the PE firms and California acquirers driving Oregon deals. A national firm often treats Oregon as an afterthought. Arx is based in Oregon with offices in Bend and Lake Oswego, and our buyer outreach targets 250+ qualified buyers per engagement nationwide.
What's the difference between a business broker and an M&A advisor?
Business brokers typically handle smaller transactions (under $5M) and often represent both buyers and sellers. M&A advisors work on larger deals and usually represent one side. Arx bridges the gap - we handle deals from $1M to $25M in revenue and exclusively represent sellers. Full-service means we manage everything from valuation through closing.
How do I choose the right business broker in Oregon?
Ask three questions. First, do they represent sellers only, or do they also work with buyers? Dual representation creates conflicts. Second, how do they find buyers - do they actively reach out, or just post listings and wait? Third, can they show you real market data for your industry and location? If they can’t answer all three convincingly, keep looking.
