If you own a successful company generating between $5,000,000 and $50 million in annual revenue, your business falls within what’s known as the lower middle market—a highly attractive segment for both strategic and financial buyers. These businesses are large enough to have proven profitability, staff, and infrastructure, yet small enough to offer growth opportunities and acquisition affordability.
At Synergy Business Brokers, we specialize in selling lower middle market businesses across a range of industries. Our process emphasizes confidentiality, precision, and performance, helping you unlock the full value of your business while finding the right buyer who can carry on what you’ve built. Our award winning M&A brokerage can help you today!
We can help you no matter where your business is located. We have locations in New York, Texas, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, Arizona, California, Europe, Canada, Africa, Asia, or Hawaii.
The lower middle market typically refers to businesses with $5 million to $100 million in enterprise value, though the most common range falls between $5 million and $20 million. These businesses are usually privately owned, well-established, and profitable, with management teams and systems in place.
Because they are more stable than small businesses and more accessible than large corporations, lower middle market companies are in high demand. Buyers view them as scalable platforms, capable of both organic growth and strategic expansion through add-ons.

If your company is profitable and operates within these sectors or similar ones, you likely have a business that’s ideal for today’s active acquisition market.
Selling a lower middle market company isn’t like selling a small business. The stakes are higher, the buyer pool is more sophisticated, and the process involves deal structure, due diligence, legal intricacies, and financing coordination. It’s critical to have an experienced M&A advisor guiding the process to protect your interests and maximize your outcome.
