Bridge Point Business Brokers · TX
Selling a business in Plainview, Texas takes a Hale County file that still invoices on a Broadway Tuesday after a packing-dock pause, a Wayland home date, and a Lubbock campus comparison are pulled out of the year. Remaining packing-and-feed work on I-27 is the weekday floor. Wayland is the campus overlay: faculty, staff, and students who already rent nearby write a Tuesday a Pioneer Saturday cannot invent. Hale Center, Olton, and a Swisher edge sit on this labor pool when the invoices name them. Abernathy is a leak toward the Lubbock line, not a Hale multiple. Covenant Plainview keeps weekday medical demand that does not wait on a campus Saturday. This is not legal, tax, or lending advice. Bridge Point Advisors is a national firm, not a Florida-only practice.
An owner-operated Plainview shop often prices around 2x–3.5x seller's discretionary earnings after a real manager wage, and around 2.5x–4.5x when a lead already opens the door. A managed company often prices on adjusted EBITDA, commonly about 3x–6x near a $10 million price. Those ranges are directional, not a quote. Call (352) 515-0226.
We work this Hale County market from Spring Hill. Start from the sellers page and browse by industry. Nothing here is Texas contractor, packing-assignment, or campus-vendor advice. Put Hale County counsel on the dock language before anyone dates a teaser. If the founder is still the only name the packing floor will invoice, the confidential sale guide is why that name stays off the first page.
A packing dock on I-27, not a Tech Saturday
Remaining packing-and-feed work is the distinctive industrial product, and it is the first place a sale dies. Manufacturing bays that already pack, process, or fabricate a remaining Hale program, trucking books that already open a packing door without the founder, and warehouse space that already holds more than one shipper transfer when more than one contract year is in the file. Staffing desks that already place into that week transfer on the same test. A book that lives on a single packing purchase order, a single processing window, or a slide that says Lubbock is coming up I-27 is concentration.
Assignment language the packing floor will actually accept belongs in week one. If the founder still holds the only name the dock will invoice, treat that vendor book as a person until a shop lead already carries those relationships. A Wayland Saturday is a spike. Keep it out of the plant's run rate.
A Lubbock inbound who underwrote Broadway as a cheaper Hub City satellite will ask for a Texas Tech multiple and a UMC overlay. Plainview does not have Texas Tech as the defining book. Write packing-and-feed work and I-27. Do not paste a Lubbock January onto a Hale Broadway week. Covenant Plainview is weekday medical demand. It is not UMC Lubbock as the comparable.
Wayland, harvest weeks, and a quiet June
Wayland's faculty, staff, and nearby student rent write a Tuesday. Restaurant rooms and retail doors transfer when a full year is already in the book, including a June Tuesday and a midweek without a Pioneer home date. A dining room that only works because a campus sidewalk filled Broadway is a campus room. Keep that weekend in its own column. This is not Texas Tech, and it is not a different Panhandle campus as the comparable.
A harvest cluster, a civic Saturday, and a cotton week fill some rooms. Keep those weekends beside the ordinary week. The photograph of a packing floor is not a Lubbock game day and it is not a Midland oil week. I-27 is the north-south spine: Hale Center and the Swisher edge one way, Abernathy and the Lubbock line the other. Some trucks already leak toward Lubbock and toward Amarillo. Those hours belong in the first model. A van that says it covers the South Plains and is really one Hale crew is a map, not a company. This is not Loop 289, and it is not I-40 as an Amarillo cattle story.
HVAC and construction on rooftops in Plainview, Hale Center, and Olton trade when a second lead already opens. Recurring service beats a one-phase packing-plant fit-out or a single campus renovation. A June midweek when campus is thin, and a week the packing floor is between programs, belong in the year.
Hale Center, Olton, and the wages that are not this book
Hale Center and Olton sit on this Hale labor pool when the invoices already name them. They do not share a packing-dock rent. A Hale Center trade year and a Broadway Wayland Saturday are different occupancy stories. Abernathy writes a Lubbock leak, not a Hale multiple. Do not paste a Texas Tech January onto any of them.
Lubbock keeps Texas Tech, UMC, and Loop 289. Amarillo keeps an I-40 cattle desk and a Potter County ticket. Midland keeps an oil year. Abilene keeps a Dyess gate. None of those is a Hale packing Tuesday. Labor leaks south toward Lubbock campus wages, north toward Amarillo cattle pay, and west toward Midland oil floors. Write that wage before the first tour.
Texas has no state personal income tax. Franchise tax still sits on the entity. Counsel has to name it. This page will not. The tax map is not a reason to skip a quiet June.
Who buys a Hale County company
A local owner-operator who already understands a Hale packing floor is the cleanest buyer for a plant vendor, a truck, or a Broadway room. A search fund or independent sponsor can fit a diversified manufacturing, trucking, warehouse, or staffing book that already has a manager and more than one customer. They are not a fit for a one-purchase-order packing vendor or a restaurant that only works on a Pioneer Saturday. A strategic buyer shows up when the book adds a lane on I-27 the buyer does not already run. Private equity is a conversation only when the company is large enough for adjusted EBITDA and the bench does not depend on one dock relationship. Most Plainview shops are not that file.
The management test is why a large buyer walks. If the founder is still the only name the packing house will invoice, the buyer is buying a person. M&A advisory fits the managed group when a second lead is already on the floor. Wayland rooms go to operators who will sit a quiet June, not to a Lubbock inbound who wants a second Tech town and not to a Midland inbound who wants a second oil annex.
How Plainview shops are priced
Owner-operated shops still price on seller's discretionary earnings. That language fits a Broadway dining room, a staffing desk, a trucking book, and most trade crews. After a real manager wage, the range often sits around 2x–3.5x SDE. With a lead already opening, it often sits around 2.5x–4.5x SDE. Add back owner pay and personal expenses that are truly personal. Do not add back a Wayland Saturday, a cotton week, or a single packing year. The person who already opens when Broadway is quiet moves the file up the band.
Adjusted EBITDA opens when a multi-crew manufacturing book or a diversified staffing desk already places more than one customer and holds a manager wage. Near a $10 million price, that conversation commonly lands around 3x–6x. The band is directional, not a quote. Most files in Plainview are not a ten-million-dollar conversation. The valuation guide is the national frame. A valuation follows a June Tuesday, not a Texas Tech multiple.
Compare offers that are not all cash on what the seller keeps. The offer comparison guide is the method. Holdbacks belong on receivable quality and any open packing-dock item.
How the check is written
The SBA 7(a) program commonly caps a loan at $5 million. It can fit a documented trade route or a diversified packing-adjacent shop when a manager wage is already real and a quiet June exists on the profit and loss. Single-purchase-order packing books and single-season Wayland shops usually need more equity. This is not lending advice. The SBA financing guide is national context, not an approval and not a promise that a Hale County file will clear.
A seller note shows up when the dock file is the long pole. Structure it so a successor can pay it after a real wage, including in a week the floor is between programs. Earn-outs show up when one packing year is a double-digit share. Neither instrument repairs a packet the packing house will not sign.
Working capital is the cash, parts, inventory, and receivables a normal I-27 week needs. It is not the owner's draw and it is not Pioneer Saturday cash. Set the target on a June Tuesday. Parts for an Olton route, payroll for a packing week between programs, and a receivable from more than one shipper belong in that cash. A cotton-week spike is not the cash the buyer gets to keep.
Diligence on Hale clerks, not a Lubbock ticket
Diligence here fails on a Lubbock buyer who priced Broadway as a cheaper Tech satellite more often than it fails on a packing-floor photograph. Texas contractor and professional licenses sit on their own calendar. A Lubbock County ticket is not a Hale County qualifying agent. A Potter license from Amarillo is not a Plainview city receipt. A Midland County ticket is not an Olton mercantile. A Hale Center license is not a Plainview city receipt. Name the clerks you actually invoice.
Plant assignment belongs in week one if the book lives on the packing dock. A Wayland vendor number and a Broadway commercial lease sit on other desks. Use the sale-prep roadmap to split packing work, I-27 trucking, neighborhood rooftops, and Wayland rooms before anyone writes a teaser. Prepare two years of weekly sales that include a June midweek campus is thin and a week the floor is between programs. This page will not invent a sale count, a close volume, or a price.
Walk the dock before anyone prices a Pioneer Saturday
Walk the packing shop first if that is the asset. Two plant accounts, one processing year pulled out of run rate, and a shop lead already on the floor. Walk the Broadway dining room next. A Wayland weekend can fill every table. The lease still needs assignment. The person who could hold a June Tuesday may already have taken a job in Hale Center. That is the hospitality deal, not the campus photograph. Walk an Olton HVAC route third. County rooftops and a second lead already opening. Recurring service, not a one-phase plant restoration.
Cotton week, Covenant Plainview, and a Swisher edge
A cotton week and a harvest cluster fill some Broadway rooms and some highway counters. Keep them beside a June Tuesday, the same way you keep a Pioneer home date beside the faculty-and-staff week that actually renews. Covenant Plainview is weekday medical demand. It does not wait on Wayland, and it is not a Lubbock hospital campus a buyer can use as the comparable. Patients and vendors who already call that Plainview desk are a local payroll fact. They are not a Tech Saturday.
Hale Center and the Swisher edge sit north on I-27 when the invoices name them. Olton sits on the county rooftop map. Abernathy sits toward the Lubbock line as a leak, not as a second Hale downtown. A crew that claims all four and only rolls one truck is a map. Franchise tax still sits on a Texas entity even where there is no state personal income tax. Counsel names that. This page will not turn the tax map into a multiple. A processing window that will not repeat is not run rate. Two shippers and a lead who already opens when the floor is between programs are the company. Loop 289, an I-40 cattle desk, and a Dyess gate stay on their own pages.
A Hale file, not a Hub City caption
Bridge Point Advisors takes Hale County files to buyers who will sit a June week. We name a packing-dock packet, an I-27 truck, Covenant Plainview as weekday medical demand, and a Wayland overlay. We do not write this as Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland, or Abilene.
Start with a valuation, your industry page, or contact. Call (352) 515-0226. Bring the dock invoice, or an honest note that the packing house still lists one person. That Tuesday is the company a successor can run.
A staffing desk that already places more than one Hale employer is closer to a company than a single purchase order. A restaurant that already holds a June Tuesday transfers more cleanly than a room that lives on one Pioneer home date. If the quiet week cannot cover payroll after a real manager wage, do not ask the campus Saturday or a single packing year to do that job in the price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What has to be true before a Plainview, Texas company is ready to sell?
The file has to show a Broadway or packing-dock Tuesday in Hale County when the floor is between programs. Pull a Wayland home date into its own column. Name the I-27 share and the person who already opens in a quiet June. This page is not legal, tax, or lending advice.
Is Plainview, Texas just Lubbock without Texas Tech?
No. Lubbock underwrites a Tech Saturday and UMC. Plainview underwrites remaining packing-and-feed work, I-27, Wayland, and Covenant Plainview. A Lubbock County ticket is not a Hale County badge.
Should a Wayland home date be treated as run rate in Plainview?
No. Keep the campus weekend in its own column, and compare a June Tuesday on Broadway with a Pioneer photograph. Faculty and staff can support a Tuesday. One home date cannot carry the year.
Does I-27 make Plainview an Amarillo or Midland deal?
No. I-27 is a labor leak toward cattle and oil wages, not a deed. Amarillo keeps the I-40 cattle desk, Midland keeps the oil year, and Abilene keeps Dyess. A Hale packing badge is not any of those tickets.
Do Hale Center and Olton list on this Plainview page?
They sit on this Hale County labor pool when the invoices already name them. A packing shop and an Olton HVAC route still get different underwriting. Abernathy is a Lubbock leak, not a second Hale downtown.
Can an SBA loan finance a Plainview manufacturing or trucking book?
A documented book with a quiet June and a modeled manager wage can fit a lender conversation. The SBA 7(a) program commonly caps a loan at $5 million. A one-purchase-order packing vendor or a single-season Wayland shop usually needs more equity. This is not lending advice.
