Equitas M&A Advisors - Sell Your Business with Equitas Business Brokers.

Founder’s Message

Everyone at Equitas, including our support team, has years of experience, first as business owners, then in business brokerage.

We’re not a high-volume practice. If we accept your request to represent you, you get everyone’s focused attention. To work the way we do, we can only accept a few clients per year. That also means our success rate has to be excellent. (Some brokerages sell fewer than half of the clients they sign up).

Some brokers make their top-level presentation an optional extra. There are no second-class services (or clients) at Equitas. Many businesses are outside of our interest, so if we choose yours, its because we can do great work for you.

THIS – selling our clients’ companies – is what we do. Together, we have a few lifetimes of experiences — successes and failures — which have taught us many things. Perhaps the most important of which is, how to work.

Ron Hunter
Equitas. Small firm. Big service.

“Dedication – Integrity – Results” really does describe us.

Our motto summarizes what we do and how we act. To put it into other words; we work relentlessly – representing you professionally – until the deal you want is done.
