About Us
Horizon Business Brokers was founded by Dustin Zeher in 2006 with the goal of connecting buyers and sellers of businesses. We work to ensure that both buyers and sellers of businesses feel knowledgeable, are treated fairly, and that the sale moves as expeditiously as possible.
Our firm has steadily grown over the years and now averages between 20-30 closed transactions each year. We have offices in DC, Maryland, and Virginia to better serve our clients across the entire Mid-Atlantic region.

We are proud to be a full service brokerage focusing on the main street and lower middle markets with businesses of all types and sizes from various industries. We have relationships with attorneys, accountants, bankers, lenders, and others who we work with to provide the best services possible to our clients. One of the most notable aspects of our business is that we are an independent firm – a team of detail oriented, responsive, motivated, and experienced professionals. Our independence enables us to offer competitive commissions and fees and construct arrangements with clients that other firms may not be able to offer if they are part of a corporate or franchise brokerage.
We realize the decision to sell your business is often one of the most complicated and emotional times in the life of a business owner. It’s our commitment to you to help you sell your business in a timely fashion and do our best to find the most qualified buyer for your business. We follow a strict code of ethics set forth by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA) and work fairly, professionally, and honestly while providing you the expertise that you demand. We look forward to working with you and earning your trust as we work to help you exit your business.

Horizon Business Brokers offers our clients years of professionalism, experience, expertise, and knowledge in the process of buying, selling and valuing businesses in a variety of different industries. We keep things confidential by following the strict code of ethics set forth by the IBBA in the Washington, DC area and Mid-Atlantic region. We are well-trained professionals who are aware of your needs with one goal in mind, to sell your business for you.
Deciding to buy or sell a business is sometimes the easy part. How you go about it is another matter altogether.
For Sellers - Horizon Business Brokers can assist you in setting a price, determining when is the right time to sell, preparing the business for sale, confidentially advertising and marketing the sale, negotiating with prospective buyers, and a host of legal and financial details that need to be addressed. We will help you maximize the value of your business when selling by showing its true earnings capacity and potential.
Horizon Business Brokers markets and advertises the sale of every business confidentially and discreetly to not disrupt the integrity of the business and allow our sellers to be sure that employees, vendors and suppliers, and customers don’t become aware of the sale. Horizon Business Brokers protects information about the business for sale from being presented to unqualified buyers. We fully vet the buyers we work with, requiring them to complete our Buyers Package, the first thing a potential buyer has to complete to qualify to purchase a business and before any information about your business is shared. The Buyers Package has the buyer execute a Confidentiality Agreement, complete a buyer profile to determine they are professionally qualified and a good fit for your business, and has them provide a financial statement to ensure they have the financial ability to acquire your business in obtaining any funding, and making sure they will be approved for any lease, license or franchise agreements where applicable.
Business financing options are also available through our network of lenders to qualified buyers. Sellers often get cash at settlement in all of our transactions.
When selling a business with Horizon Business Brokers, our clients benefit from our industry experience, expertise in various industries, and high ethical professional standards. We promise to treat our clients fairly, professionally, and honestly. Imagine your dream of finally selling your business coming true!
Horizon Business Brokers thinks it’s important to work closely with buyers; we will give you all the facts on the specific industry and business you wish to purchase, will ensure a seamless transaction, and smooth transition of ownership. Business brokers typically represent the seller in most sales and it really isn’t uncommon for a business broker to represent both the buyer and the seller through the sale, but we also offer representation specifically for buyers as well.
We represent buyers to purchase businesses we are currently advertising for sale, buyers just beginning their business search, and buyers that have already identified a business on their own. Horizon Business Brokers does often end up representing both the buyer and the seller through the sale process as we get each party comfortable with the fact that we take a very unbiased approach to the deal to make sure it gets completed. We understand if each party isn’t properly and fairly represented, being provided the necessary information needed at the appropriate time, with mutually agreeable and acceptable terms, and a fair sale price there won’t be a deal. Horizon Business Brokers work in representing the sale ensuring both parties are fully satisfied with every element of the transaction to have the outcome everyone wants, a successful sale that gets to settlement and a smooth transition!
