About Us

Our Story

Pacific Business Exchange was founded by a former Wall Street banker who saw a gap between impersonal listing services and the hands‑on dealmaking business owners deserved. With decades of experience negotiating complex transactions, managing portfolios and advising entrepreneurs, our founder launched Pacific Business Exchange to bring institutional‑grade expertise and services to privately held companies.

Today, our clients include both main street sized firms along with those with revenues between $1M and $20M. Optimizing the value of a business requires meticulous preparation, expert targeted marketing and skilled negotiations. Our valuation approach includes a detailed analysis of your company's financial performance, importantly including all the financial benefits an owner receives. We recognize that the true economic value of your business, is often not found on your business's tax return.

Mission & Vision

Mission: To unlock the true value of your business and find the buyer who recognizes it. That true value often lies beyond merely your P&L and includes your workforce, customer base, your reputation and include the yet untapped opportunity for growth.

Vision: To recognize all the underlying value metrics of your business, effectively and succinctly communicate those metrics to a targeted audience of prospective buyers ultimately resulting in a closed transaction.

Our Philosophy

Our core values drive every interaction with clients and partners. We believe the following principles set us apart:

• Hands‑On Expertise Wins: we don’t just list businesses—we actively add value to each deal.
• Reputation is Everything: referral and repeat business stem from trust, persistence and successful closings.
• Modern Tools, Classic Instincts: we combine old‑school negotiation skill with cutting‑edge marketing and sales systems.
• Quality Over Quantity: we prioritise meaningful deal flow over bloated pipelines.
• Ethical & Transparent: no hard sells or hidden agendas—just clarity and professionalism.
