San Antonio's M&A market is significantly influenced by its massive military presence, with Joint Base San Antonio (the largest joint base in the DoD) driving deal activity in defense contracting, cybersecurity, and government IT services. The city is also a major healthcare market, home to the South Texas Medical Center and a growing biosciences sector. San Antonio's lower cost structure compared to Austin and Dallas makes it an increasingly attractive market for mid-market acquisitions in manufacturing, energy services, and hospitality.
San Antonio offers attractive valuations relative to Austin and Dallas, with deal multiples typically 0.5-1 turn lower for comparable businesses. The military community creates a unique pipeline of veteran-owned businesses approaching transition, and the city's steady population growth fuels demand for healthcare and consumer services acquisitions.
San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas and the seventh-largest in the U.S., with population growth that consistently outpaces the national average and a cost of doing business well below other major Texas metros. The city's $40B+ military economic impact provides a stable demand floor for defense and services businesses.
Texas enforces non-compete agreements if they are ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement and meet reasonableness requirements, and the state's lack of a corporate or personal income tax makes post-acquisition cash flow modeling more favorable, though buyers should account for Texas's franchise (margin) tax on entities with revenue exceeding $2.47 million.
A structured, methodical approach to business acquisition law
We review the target business, your acquisition goals, and the proposed deal terms to develop a strategic game plan tailored to your specific situation.
Managing Partner Alex Lubyansky leads a thorough investigation of the target's contracts, liabilities, intellectual property, and regulatory standing to surface risks before you commit.
We structure the transaction to optimize risk allocation and negotiate purchase agreements, employment agreements, and ancillary documents that protect your interests.
We manage the closing checklist, coordinate with lenders and third parties, and ensure every condition is satisfied so your deal closes on schedule.
After the deal closes, we assist with purchase price adjustments, earnout calculations, transition matters, and any post-closing disputes that arise.
