- Deal sizes roughly $500,000 to $10 million
- San Diego, Orange, and Los Angeles counties
Why they are in this room
Worth saying out loud, because this room is built for buyers: a business broker works for the seller. That is the job. It is still the most useful relationship in the room, because brokers see San Diego County deal flow before it hits BizBuySell, and a buyer who is known, credible, and specific about their buy box is the one who gets the call first. Tyler is a Certified Business Intermediary through the IBBA and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor through the EPI.
What a Founding Partner is, and is not
So-Cal Business Brokers holds the business broker seat, which is category-exclusive: one firm per category, five in total. Founding Partners cover the cost of the monthly meetup, which is why it is free for buyers to attend.
What that does not buy is the stage. Nobody pitches from the front, partners included. The club does not take a referral fee, does not share attendee contact details, and does not recommend a partner over anyone else you might hire. Listing here is disclosure, not endorsement. Do your own diligence on any firm you engage, including these.
