Martin Navarro is a Port Hueneme business broker who helps owners across this harbor city confidentially buy and sell businesses of every type, from a logistics or service company to a lower middle market operation. Every engagement is handled personally, with no upfront fees.
Port Hueneme is a small coastal city defined by the Port of Hueneme, the only deep water commercial port between Los Angeles and the Bay Area, and by the adjacent Naval Base Ventura County. That gives the local economy a strong base of port related, logistics, and service businesses, supported by neighborhood retail and dining and a steady population tied to the port and the base.
As your Port Hueneme business broker, Martin represents owners in the confidential sale and acquisition of companies of every type, from main street through the lower middle market up to 50 million dollars. He handles every engagement himself and serves Ventura County, Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas.
Martin is not limited to one niche. He represents owners across every sector, from main street to the lower middle market.
Logistics, warehousing, and distribution businesses tied to the Port of Hueneme.
Marine, industrial, and technical service companies serving the port and base.
Neighborhood retail and dining serving residents and port workers.
HVAC, landscaping, and B2B service companies with recurring revenue.
Medical, dental, and professional firms with recurring, transferable clients.
Small manufacturers and trade businesses serving the harbor economy.
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.
A Port Hueneme logistics, marine, or service business with recurring contracts and a capable team tends to value at the higher end of its range, and operations tied to the port can draw buyers looking to enter that niche. The right figure depends on your earnings, your lease, your industry, and how transferable the business is to a new owner. Two businesses with the same revenue can be worth very different amounts once those factors are weighed, which is why a real valuation beats any quick estimate. An online calculator cannot price your business. Martin gives you a realistic figure built on your actual numbers and recent comparable Port Hueneme sales.

A Port Hueneme 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 Port Hueneme logistics business with about 1 million dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, recurring port related contracts, and an experienced team attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
