Martin Navarro is a Brentwood business broker who helps owners along San Vicente Boulevard, the Brentwood Country Mart, and the Barrington and Montana corridors confidentially sell and buy businesses of every type, from a boutique retailer to a professional practice. Every engagement is handled personally, with no upfront fees.
Brentwood is one of the most affluent business communities on the Westside, a City of Los Angeles district built along San Vicente Boulevard and anchored by the Brentwood Country Mart and the San Vicente shopping corridor. Its upscale residential base supports a market of professional and financial firms, medical and wellness practices, boutique retail, restaurants and cafes, and personal service businesses serving a well off local clientele.
As your Brentwood business broker, Martin handles businesses of every type, from professional and medical practices to boutique retail, restaurants, and personal service firms. He works with owners selling companies up to 50 million dollars, handles every engagement himself, and serves Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange County, and throughout Southern California.
Martin is not limited to one niche. He represents owners across every sector, from main street to the lower middle market.

Most small and mid sized businesses are valued on Seller's Discretionary Earnings, or SDE, which is your net profit with the owner's salary, benefits, and one time or personal expenses added back. A market multiple, commonly 2x to 4x SDE for main street businesses, is adjusted for your lease, assets, growth, and how dependent the business is on you. Larger companies are valued on a multiple of EBITDA.
In Brentwood, professional practices and boutique retail with strong brands and prime San Vicente or Country Mart locations tend to value at the higher end of their range, helped by an affluent and loyal local clientele. Transferable client relationships, clean financials, and low owner dependence are what buyers pay a premium for. An online calculator cannot price your business. Martin gives you a realistic figure built on your actual numbers and recent comparable Brentwood sales.

A Brentwood business sale involves city and county steps that owners often overlook until they slow down a closing. Brentwood is part of the City of Los Angeles, so its requirements follow city rules. Handling them early keeps the deal on schedule.
Martin coordinates these steps with your escrow officer, your attorney, and the relevant agencies so nothing becomes a surprise at the closing table.
Example: a Brentwood professional practice with about 750,000 dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, a loyal recurring client base, and associates handling daily work attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
