Professional, methodology-driven business valuations for Dallas-Fort Worth business owners — for M&A exits, partner buyouts, SBA financing, investor rounds, and estate planning.
Business Valuation — Dallas-Fort Worth
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is one of the fastest-growing business markets in the country, driven by a sustained influx of corporate relocations, a thriving energy technology sector, and one of the most active regional M&A markets in the South. DFW business owners planning an exit or ownership transition are operating in a buyer-friendly environment — but buyers in this market are sophisticated. They run detailed financial models and know exactly what comparable businesses in the Dallas market have sold for.
Texas's no-income-tax environment and business-friendly regulatory climate mean that DFW attracts significant buyer interest from both national PE firms and strategic acquirers. Energy-adjacent service businesses, healthcare services, and technology companies in the DFW corridor regularly transact at competitive multiples — and sellers without a professional valuation leave money on the table. Michelet Financial provides rigorous business valuations for Dallas-Fort Worth business owners across all sectors and transaction types.
Valuation Methodology
Dallas-Fort Worth's business mix — spanning energy services, technology, healthcare, and professional services — requires tailored valuation approaches. We apply the right methodology for your industry and the purpose of your engagement.
For DFW's profitable operating businesses — energy services companies, healthcare practices, and B2B services firms — we normalize EBITDA for add-backs and apply industry multiples derived from comparable Texas and national transactions. Technology and SaaS companies in the DFW corridor increasingly attract revenue-based and ARR-based pricing, which we analyze alongside traditional earnings methods.
We draw on a deep set of closed transaction comps across DFW's primary sectors — energy services, healthcare, technology, logistics, and professional services — to benchmark your business against what buyers are actually paying in this market. Texas's strong deal volume gives us a robust data set for comparable-transaction analysis.
For asset-intensive DFW businesses — oilfield services companies, construction and engineering firms, and distribution operations — an asset-based valuation layer captures equipment, real estate, and infrastructure value that income methods alone may not fully reflect. Brandt Michelet's analytical background at Landry's Inc., where operational assets across hundreds of locations were central to financial performance, informs our treatment of physical and intangible assets in the valuation.
Use Cases
A business valuation is not just for sellers. Here are the most common situations where Dallas business owners engage Michelet Financial.
