Selling a technology company means finding a buyer who understands the business you have built, from its products and services to its customers and technical team. Synergy Business Brokers helps owners of profitable businesses with annual revenue of $700,000 to $250 million or more evaluate a sale and pursue buyers suited to their goals.
Our award-winning team guides you through confidential marketing, buyer introductions, negotiations, due diligence, and closing. Whether your revenue comes from subscriptions, service contracts, projects, or product sales, we work to explain what makes your company valuable.
We are usually able to reach step 9 of our 15-step sales process, introducing qualified buyers to the seller, within 1 to 8 weeks of starting. Timing varies with the business and the information available; offers, due diligence, and closing follow.
Technology businesses serve different customers and earn revenue in different ways. Our technology M&A services reflect your business model, specialty, and plans for a transition. Explore these technology and related sectors:
You can also view our technology businesses for sale for examples of the companies we market.
Our team includes former technology executives, business founders, software sales professionals, and advisers with software acquisition experience. That experience helps us understand the work behind your company’s growth and explain its strengths to potential buyers.
These backgrounds bring operating, marketing, and transaction perspectives to discussions about your customers, technical team, growth opportunities, and ownership transition.
We have experience selling a wide range of technology businesses. Examples of our completed transactions include:
This New Jersey company designed, implemented, and managed cloud-computing solutions and operated as an Amazon Web Services reseller and consultant. Synergy generated interest from several technology buyers and helped obtain bank-financing preapproval. The selected buyers brought relevant technology experience, and the sale closed in approximately six to seven months.
This Arizona telecommunications infrastructure contractor generated over $20 million in annual revenue. Synergy approached strategic acquirers and private equity groups and received multiple offers within weeks. The selected strategic buyer provided cash at closing while allowing the owners to retain an equity interest and participate in future growth. The transaction closed in under six months.
Based in the Austin, Texas area, Safetynet IT provided managed IT support, cybersecurity, network monitoring, cloud integration, and related services. After the initial buyer was unable to obtain financing, Synergy reengaged a previous bidder. That buyer secured financing and completed the acquisition.

“I interviewed 5 other companies, and Synergy recommended the highest selling price, but provided a detailed analysis to support it.”

Start with a confidential conversation about your company, its performance, and why you are considering a sale. We will discuss your role, your team, your customer relationships, and the products or services that generate revenue.
You do not need to have made a final decision to sell. This first conversation helps us understand your goals and identify potential buyers for your technology company, including buyers who could support its next stage of growth.
Clear information helps buyers understand both current performance and what will transfer to a new owner. Start with recent tax returns, profit and loss statements, a current balance sheet, and an overview of the company.
Depending on your business model, we will also discuss:
You do not need to assemble every document before contacting us. We can help identify the information that matters for presenting your business and preparing for buyer questions.
A software business, managed service provider, and technology reseller should not be evaluated in exactly the same way. We review your earnings and financial trends alongside the characteristics that support those results.
We use your financial information and relevant completed transactions to discuss a potential asking-price range. The goal is to present a supportable case for your company’s value and attract buyers with the resources to complete a sale.
Your personal goals matter alongside the company’s performance. Retirement, a new venture, a partnership change, or the desire for a buyer to help the business grow can all prompt a conversation about selling.
Continued attention to customer service, renewals, staffing, and financial reporting helps keep the business prepared while it is on the market. If revenue has declined or a major contract has changed, we can discuss those circumstances and how they affect the sale process.
Synergy prepares a public overview that does not identify your business. Before sharing confidential company details, we require a nondisclosure agreement and information about a prospective buyer’s background and financial qualifications.
We coordinate buyer conversations with you and discuss when to share sensitive information, involve key employees, or arrange visits. Our role is to explain the opportunity, assess buyer fit, and help you compare interest while you continue running the company.
A suitable buyer may be a technology company adding capabilities or customers, a private equity group or one of its existing companies, or an experienced individual seeking to own a business. We consider the buyer’s resources, technical background, financing needs, and plans for your team.
We market technology businesses to potential buyers locally, nationally, and internationally. Our coverage includes the Midwest, Northeast, South, and Western United States. The right buyer may be outside your immediate market.
Price is one part of an offer. Cash at closing, financing conditions, deferred payments, any retained ownership, and your responsibilities after the sale can also affect whether a proposal meets your goals.
A strategic buyer may see an opportunity to add your technology, enter a new market, or offer more services to existing customers. We help communicate that fit and compare proposals on their terms and likelihood of closing.
Our M&A advisory services include supporting negotiations and coordinating the transaction with buyers, sellers, lenders, and their advisers.
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer and its advisers review the financial and operating information behind the business. For a technology company, this may include customer and vendor agreements, intellectual property ownership, software licenses, cybersecurity practices, and the technical team’s responsibilities.
Synergy helps organize the process and address questions with the parties and their advisers. We also help you discuss the transition period, including your availability after closing and how knowledge and customer relationships will transfer.
