You have built a profitable business. Selling it means finding a buyer who can recognize its value, complete the purchase, and support the transition you want. Synergy Business Brokers helps Phoenix owners sell companies with annual revenue of $700,000 to $250 million or more.
Our Arizona broker, Chris Sampras, combines business-sale experience with a background in financial analysis and SBA lending. He is supported by Synergy’s national team and buyer network. We work with owners throughout Phoenix and the surrounding metro area, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale.
Start with a free, confidential consultation about your financials, potential selling price, and goals. There are no upfront brokerage fees, and our commission is earned when your company sells.
The right time depends on your business’s performance and your personal goals. An owner ready to retire may prioritize a clear transition and the right successor. An owner who wants to keep building the company may be interested in a buyer who brings capital, management support, or access to new customers.
We consider earnings trends, recurring revenue, customer concentration, your management team’s responsibilities, and the outlook for your industry. These details help us explain the opportunity to buyers and discuss a realistic selling price with you. We also consider what buyers would need to verify during due diligence, so you can prepare before negotiations begin.

Fred Cohen was ready to sell his family’s business after decades of running it. Packaging Supplies, Inc., also known as PSI Bags, was a packaging distributor based in the Phoenix area, serving customers nationwide. Finding a buyer with relevant experience was an important part of the transition.
Chris Sampras helped evaluate several offers and identify a buyer with more than 15 years of packaging experience and six previous acquisitions. Chris also recommended transaction counsel and coordinated with the buyer’s existing bank on the documentation needed for closing. Organized records and a responsive bookkeeper helped the process move efficiently. The sale closed 67 days after the business was listed.
Fred described his experience working with Chris:
“Chris Sampras, with Synergy, was just outstanding! Walked us through the process, and we achieved the goal we were looking for.”
— Fred Cohen, seller of Packaging Supplies, Inc.
Read Fred’s full review among our client testimonials. This is one example of our work. We help sell Phoenix-area businesses across all the industries listed above, tailoring the buyer search and sale process to each company and its owner’s goals.
Different buyers bring different advantages. We consider their resources, relevant experience, plans for the company, and ability to complete a transaction.
We help you compare the complete proposal, including cash at closing, financing, contingencies, and your responsibilities after the sale.
We begin by learning about your business and what you want from a sale. Reviewing your financials and operating strengths helps us recommend an asking price and prepare a clear presentation for prospective buyers.
Public marketing describes the opportunity without identifying your company. We require a nondisclosure agreement before sharing identifying or sensitive information and screen buyers for their interest, experience, and financial capacity. We coordinate information requests and introductions so you can remain focused on running the business.
When offers arrive, we help you evaluate price and terms, negotiate, and work through due diligence. We stay involved with you, the buyer, attorneys, accountants, and lenders as the transaction moves toward closing. Planning for your transition is part of those discussions, whether you want a defined handover period or a continuing role.
Our 15-step sales process explains the stages in more detail.
