Martin Navarro is a business broker serving the Inland Empire, helping owners across Riverside and San Bernardino counties confidentially buy and sell businesses of every type. Based in the Los Angeles and Ventura County area, he represents buyers and sellers throughout Southern California and handles every engagement personally.
The Inland Empire is the logistics and manufacturing engine of Southern California. Anchored by Ontario International Airport and an unmatched concentration of warehousing and distribution, the region across Riverside and San Bernardino counties also carries strong manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, and the growing hospitality and wine economy around Temecula. For business owners, that means a large base of asset backed companies and active buyers, including national operators expanding their logistics footprint.
As an Inland Empire business broker, Martin represents owners in the confidential sale and acquisition of companies of every type, from main street businesses through the lower middle market up to 50 million dollars. He handles every engagement himself and serves the Inland Empire alongside Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange County, and throughout Southern California.
Martin works with owners across Riverside, San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Temecula. Because a business sale is confidential and handled regionally, Martin can represent a the Inland Empire owner just as effectively as a local firm, while bringing qualified, vetted buyers from across Southern California to the table rather than a single local pool.
Martin is not limited to one niche. He represents owners across every sector, from main street to the lower middle market.
Third party logistics, warehousing, and distribution operations that anchor the regional economy.
Manufacturers and industrial suppliers across the Ontario and San Bernardino corridors.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and B2B service companies with recurring route based revenue.
Medical, dental, and professional firms serving a fast growing population.
Retail, dining, and hospitality businesses, including the Temecula wine and tourism market.
Established franchise locations that require franchisor approval and a managed transfer.
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. Clean financials, recurring revenue, low owner dependence, and an assignable lease are what move the number most. Martin gives you a realistic figure built on your actual numbers and recent comparable the Inland Empire sales, not an online estimate.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined path. A professional valuation sets a defensible price, preparation organizes your financials into a confidential information memorandum, and the business is marketed blind so qualified buyers learn what it does before they learn who it is. Martin then negotiates price and terms and manages due diligence, financing, and escrow through to closing. An Inland Empire sale involves a city business license for the buyer, a Riverside or San Bernardino County health permit for food businesses, transfer of any state ABC alcohol license, and a California bulk sale escrow. Martin coordinates each step with your escrow and attorney. Because Martin represents both buyers and sellers, he can also help a the Inland Empire owner line up a qualified buyer or help an acquirer find and finance the right business in the region.
Example: an Inland Empire distribution business with about 1.4 million dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, long term customer contracts, and a warehouse team in place attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
