Seattle-based M&A advisory firm Exit Equity is expanding into Texas, responding to the region’s growing demand for business valuation and exit planning services.
Exit Equity, a leading mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm, has announced the opening of a new office in Houston, Texas, marking a significant expansion beyond its established presence in the Pacific Northwest. The firm specializes in serving lower middle-market privately owned businesses, providing business valuation, sell-side and buy-side advisory, due diligence, and strategic planning services.
Why This Matters for Valuation Professionals
With its entry into the Texas market, Exit Equity is tapping into one of the fastest-growing business hubs in the U.S. This expansion underscores the increasing demand for business valuation expertise as small and mid-sized business owners prepare for exits, ownership transitions, and M&A transactions.
“This expansion is a direct response to the growing demand for our services in the Texas and Gulf Coast markets,” said Kara Gibson Brzytwa, Managing Director at Exit Equity. She emphasized that Exit Equity aims to provide investment banking resources and valuation services tailored to small business owners, ensuring they maximize value in transition and exit strategies.
Seasoned M&A Leadership in Texas
The new Houston office will be led by veteran M&A advisor Corey Gregg, who brings over 15 years of experience across multiple industries, including manufacturing, real estate, distribution, energy, and business services. Her deep understanding of the local business environment and extensive network will be pivotal in expanding Exit Equity’s presence in the Gulf Coast region.
“The Gulf Coast is home to many successful businesses, and Exit Equity’s expertise will be a valuable asset to these companies,” said Gregg. “I look forward to building strong relationships with business owners and helping them achieve their growth and exit goals.”
A Growing Demand for Business Valuation Services
Exit Equity’s Texas expansion aligns with a broader trend in business valuation and M&A advisory, where firms are expanding geographically to serve business owners preparing for succession, private equity deals, and market transactions. With an increasing number of businesses seeking valuation services for M&A, exit planning, and due diligence, the move highlights the importance of valuation professionals in today’s evolving market.
