Changing Owners is a nationwide middle market business brokerage with a legacy of service dating back to the 1990s — headquartered in Greater Tampa Bay, with offices in Jacksonville Beach and Southern California.
Wes has spent 24 years helping owners sell the businesses they built — full exits, partial sales, and partner buyouts. He runs every engagement personally, from the first confidential conversation about value through marketing, negotiation, due diligence and closing.
His approach is deliberately consultative. Most owners sell a business once; Wes’s job is to make sure you understand your number, your options, and your buyers before making decisions that can’t be unmade. That starts with a free Broker Opinion of Value and continues through a confidential process — a blind teaser to 106 media outlets and a Buyer Matching database of 29,000+ active buyers, with every buyer under NDA before learning even the name of the company for sale.
Wes is a Licensed Florida Real Estate Broker (BK3601302) and holds a California broker license (DRE# 01522168), serving sellers nationwide.
Three commitments that hold on every engagement, whatever the size of the business.
Employees, customers and competitors don’t learn your business is for sale. Blind profiles, NDAs before any disclosure, and controlled information at every step of the process.
No hand-offs to a junior team. The broker who values your business is the same one who markets it, negotiates the offers, and sits beside you at the closing table.
No upfront fees and no retainers. Our commission is earned when your sale closes — so our interests stay aligned with yours from the first conversation to the wire transfer.
