Martin Navarro is a business broker serving Riverside County, helping owners across Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, and Temecula 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.
Riverside County stretches from the western Inland Empire cities of Riverside, Corona, and Moreno Valley all the way to the Coachella Valley desert resorts, and it carries one of the most varied economies in Southern California. The western county pairs logistics and manufacturing, including Moreno Valley's massive distribution footprint, with a growing healthcare sector anchored by the UC Riverside School of Medicine. To the south, the Temecula Valley has become a nationally known wine country and tourism destination, while the Coachella Valley around Palm Springs runs on hospitality, resorts, and events.
As a Riverside County 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 Riverside County as part of the Inland Empire, alongside Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange County, and throughout Southern California.
Martin works with owners across Riverside, Corona, Moreno Valley, Temecula, Murrieta, Jurupa Valley, Eastvale, Hemet, and the Coachella Valley cities of Palm Springs and Palm Desert. As part of the Inland Empire, Riverside County benefits from a deep pool of buyers, including national operators expanding their logistics footprint. Because a business sale is confidential and handled regionally, Martin can represent a Riverside County owner just as effectively as a local firm while bringing qualified, vetted buyers from across Southern California to the table.
Martin is not limited to one niche. He represents owners across every sector, from main street to the lower middle market.

Riverside County is really several markets in one. The western cities of Riverside, Corona, Eastvale, and Jurupa Valley are logistics, manufacturing, and services markets tied closely to the wider Inland Empire, and Moreno Valley adds large scale distribution. The Temecula and Murrieta area to the south is a wine country and tourism economy with restaurants, hospitality, and specialty producers that attract lifestyle and strategic buyers. The Coachella Valley around Palm Springs and Palm Desert runs on resorts, hospitality, events, and the services that support them. Martin matches the buyer search and the valuation approach to the submarket your business operates in.
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 Riverside County 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. A Riverside County sale involves a city business license for the buyer, a Riverside County Department of Environmental 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 Riverside County owner line up a qualified buyer or help an acquirer find and finance the right business in the region.
Example: a Temecula Valley hospitality business with about 1.2 million dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, a strong seasonal following, and a general manager running operations attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
