Martell Group is a private investment firm focused on acquiring small businesses from owners nearing retirement. We specialize in purchasing companies that not only generate consistent cash flow, but also include real estate assets—providing long-term stability and value.
With a focus on lower middle-market businesses, our typical acquisition involves companies earning between $250,000 to $1,000,000 annually, with an average valuation multiple of 2.5x earnings. Our approach is simple and direct: we value businesses based on true cash flow, not hypothetical future projections.
What We Look For
We acquire businesses that meet the following criteria:
Owner-operated companies with a stable operating history
Annual net earnings of $250,000 to $1,000,000
Located in the U.S. with real estate included in the transaction
Industries with recurring revenue, essential services, or physical assets
Owners seeking a clean exit, often for retirement or lifestyle changes
Why Sell to Martell Group?
We understand what it means to spend a lifetime building a business. Our team works respectfully and efficiently to ensure a smooth transition—preserving the legacy you've built while providing financial security for your next chapter.
Quick closings with committed capital
Transparent valuation based on real cash flow
We keep your team, your brand, and your legacy intact
Flexible deal structures tailored to your needs
Real estate included? Even better—we prefer to buy both
