Martin Navarro is a Century City business broker who helps owners across the Avenue of the Stars, the Century City office towers, and Westfield Century City confidentially sell and buy businesses of every type, from a professional services firm to a medical practice. Every engagement is handled personally, with no upfront fees.
Century City is one of the premier corporate business centers on the Westside, a City of Los Angeles district of high rise office towers along the Avenue of the Stars. It is a hub for law, wealth management, and entertainment firms, with a dense base of medical and dental practices, and a thriving retail and restaurant scene anchored by Westfield Century City, all serving a corporate and affluent residential population.
As your Century City business broker, Martin handles businesses of every type, from professional and financial firms to medical practices, restaurants, and retail. 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.
Law, wealth management, and advisory firms in the Avenue of the Stars office towers.
Medical, dental, and aesthetic practices with recurring patient revenue.
Established and destination restaurants serving the corporate corridor and Westfield Century City.
Studios, med spas, and wellness businesses with loyal recurring clients.
Retail and specialty businesses in and around Westfield Century City.
Talent, media, and creative service businesses tied to the entertainment industry.
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 Century City, professional and financial firms with recurring revenue and practices or restaurants with strong brands and prime tower or Westfield locations tend to value at the higher end of their range, helped by a dense corporate base and steady daytime demand. 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 Century City sales.

A Century City business sale involves city and county steps that owners often overlook until they slow down a closing. Century City is part of the City of Los Angeles, so its requirements follow city rules, and office leases in the high rise towers are often the key asset. Handling these early keeps the deal on schedule.
Martin coordinates these steps with your escrow officer, your attorney, the landlord, and the relevant agencies so nothing becomes a surprise at the closing table.
Example: a Century City professional services firm with about 1.5 million dollars in EBITDA, recurring corporate clients, and a partner team running daily operations attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials and lease terms were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
