Helping owners begin their next chapter
We help private business owners sell at the best price and terms, so the company they built keeps thriving and they leave on their terms.
Built for owners, not Wall Street
Western M&A Advisory gives middle-market owners the expertise of an investment bank with the focus of a boutique. We started in the West and now work with owners across the country.
Selling a company is a momentous decision. The process draws on many areas of expertise and takes real time to do right, and to do quietly. Most owners who have been through it will tell you they underestimated how much was involved. Our job is to take that on, so you can stay focused on running your business.

Built around how owners actually sell
Confidential by default
Your name stays private until you choose to share it. Employees, customers, and competitors learn nothing until the right moment.
We win when you do
We work on a success fee. Our retainer at the engagement signing is a percentage of our success fee at the end of the sale, and is based on a conservative estimated market value of the business. We are paid the most when your business sells, so our incentives match yours from the first call.
Senior attention, hands on
You work directly with experienced advisors, not a junior team. The people you meet are the people who run your sale.
A competitive process
We run a quiet auction among qualified buyers and put offers side by side, so price and terms are driven up, not left on the table.
Rooted in the West
With offices across California, Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho, we know the regional market and the buyers in it, and we work nationwide.
Real industry expertise
From precision machining to construction services, we speak the language of the businesses we sell and the buyers who want them.
Industries we know well
Advisors who have done this before
A small, senior team of M&A advisors, operators, and industry specialists who guide every sale from first call to closing.
