Martin Navarro is a business broker serving San Bernardino County, helping owners across Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and the High Desert 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.
San Bernardino County is the logistics engine of Southern California and the largest county in the country by area. Anchored by Ontario International Airport and the warehousing and distribution corridors that run from Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga through Fontana and Rialto to the Cajon Pass, it holds one of the densest concentrations of third party logistics, trucking, and fulfillment operations anywhere in the state. Alongside that base sit strong manufacturing, healthcare around Loma Linda, and the fast growing High Desert markets of Victorville and Hesperia.
As a San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, Rialto, Chino, Upland, Redlands, Yucaipa, and the High Desert cities of Victorville and Hesperia. As part of the Inland Empire, San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino 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.
Third party logistics, warehousing, and fulfillment operations along the Ontario and Cajon Pass corridors that draw national buyers.
Trucking, freight, and transportation companies serving the distribution economy with equipment and recurring contracts.
Manufacturers and industrial suppliers across the Ontario, Fontana, and Rialto corridors.
Medical, dental, and professional firms serving the San Bernardino, Redlands, and Loma Linda area.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and B2B service companies with recurring route based revenue.
Retail, dining, and established franchise locations across the county's growing communities.
The county splits into distinct submarkets that each attract different buyers. The Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga corridor is prime logistics and airport adjacent industrial, drawing national operators and private equity backed platforms. Fontana and Rialto add heavy industrial, trucking, and distribution. The San Bernardino and Redlands area carries healthcare, professional services, and retail, while Chino and Chino Hills blend agriculture heritage with manufacturing and services. The High Desert around Victorville and Hesperia is a lower cost logistics and services market growing with the region. Martin tailors the buyer search to the submarket your business sits 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 San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino County sale involves a city business license for the buyer, a San Bernardino County Department of Public 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 San Bernardino County owner line up a qualified buyer or help an acquirer find and finance the right business in the region.
Example: a San Bernardino County third party logistics business with about 1.6 million dollars in Seller's Discretionary Earnings, long term warehouse leases, and an operations team running the floor attracted multiple qualified buyers once its financials were prepared and it was marketed confidentially. This example is anonymized and illustrative.
