Martin Navarro is a Mission Hills business broker who helps owners across this north San Fernando Valley community confidentially sell and buy businesses of every type, from a medical practice to a lower middle market company. Every engagement is handled personally, with no upfront fees.
Mission Hills is a compact north San Fernando Valley community in the City of Los Angeles, built around the historic San Fernando Mission and framed by the 405, 5, and 118 freeways. Its business base leans on healthcare, with a strong cluster of medical offices and practices near the area's hospitals, alongside the retail, restaurants, auto services, and home service firms that line Sepulveda Boulevard and serve the surrounding neighborhoods and nearby San Fernando.
As your Mission Hills business broker, Martin handles businesses of every type, from medical and dental practices to restaurants, auto services, and B2B 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.
Practices and outpatient businesses clustered near the area's hospitals with recurring patient revenue.
Home health, therapy, imaging, and medical support firms serving the north Valley.
Independent restaurants and retail along Sepulveda Boulevard and the surrounding community.
Repair, collision, and auto service businesses serving Mission Hills and San Fernando.
Accounting, insurance, and business service firms with recurring client relationships.
HVAC, landscaping, cleaning, and trade firms with repeat customers across the north Valley.
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 Mission Hills, medical and dental practices with recurring patients and transferable referral relationships tend to value at the higher end of their range, while service and retail businesses are priced on earnings, lease, and how independent they run. Clean books 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 Mission Hills sales.

A Mission Hills business sale involves city and county steps that owners often overlook until they slow down a closing. 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 Mission Hills dental practice with about 600,000 dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, an established patient base, and associates who kept the schedule full through the transition attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
