Businesses for Sale in Texas
Buying a Business in Texas
Texas is the second-largest small-business market in the country, spanning energy, technology in Austin, healthcare, construction and logistics across Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, with no state income tax. Deal activity runs deep in every sector. Every Texas business listed on ExitToBuy is verified — financials, ownership and SBA-eligibility reviewed — before buyers ever see it, with deals ranging from $250,000 to $25 million.
The Texas Market
Deal activity concentrates in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas and El Paso. Demand runs strongest across construction and the trades and transportation and logistics, and across the state lower-middle-market companies change hands continuously as founders retire, relocate or move on to their next venture.

A listing does not go live on ExitToBuy until its core numbers are checked: reported revenue and earnings, ownership and transferability, and whether the deal is likely to qualify for SBA 7(a) financing. Escrow is part of every transaction, and financing can be arranged inside the deal.
