We’ve been in your shoes.
Now we help you exit or acquire with confidence.
Co. Buy Sell was built by two Managing Partners who have bought, scaled, and sold businesses themselves. We bring institutional-grade M&A discipline and financing expertise to Main Street owners and serious acquirers.
No obligation. 100% confidential. Speak directly with Matthew or David.
Why we built Co. Buy Sell differently.
Most owners only sell once. Most buyers acquire only a few times in their lives. The stakes couldn’t be higher — yet the old way of doing it was broken.
After decades in entrepreneurship, investing, and advisory work, we kept seeing the same painful pattern: owners leaving millions on the table because they went it alone or worked with generalist brokers who lacked deep exit expertise and real financing relationships.
Buyers wasting months chasing overpriced or troubled businesses with zero real due diligence support. Deals falling apart at the finish line because capital wasn’t lined up properly.
We decided to change that.
Co. Buy Sell brings sophisticated M&A processes — the kind normally reserved for large private equity deals — together with the personal, relationship-driven service Main Street businesses actually need. We source off-market opportunities, run institutional-grade due diligence, structure smart deals, and through our strategic financing partners, help qualified buyers access the capital they need to close.
Aligned incentives.
Total transparency.
Outcomes that compound for years after the close.
Institutional-Grade Rigor
Every opportunity goes through our multi-point forensic due diligence process — quality of earnings, legal & compliance, customer concentration, key-person risk, and operational dependencies — before we ever present it to you.
Aligned & Transparent
We only win when you win. Clear fees, no hidden agendas, and we always tell you the truth — even when it’s uncomfortable. You’ll never be surprised by a last-minute issue or a broker who disappears after the LOI.
Capital-Ready from Day One
Through our deep partnerships with Reil Capital, Advance Funds Network, and Radix Financial Group, qualified buyers get coordinated access to SBA, term loans, alternative capital, and fast funding options — so nothing falls through the cracks at closing.
Meet the Managing Partners
Two entrepreneurs who have built, scaled, sold, and advised businesses across multiple industries.
Matthew Clark
Managing Partner & Co-Founder
Matthew brings over two decades of hands-on experience as an entrepreneur, investor, and business strategist. He sold his first company for seven figures in 2013 and has since dedicated his career to helping other owners achieve premium exits.
He holds a B.S. in Business Economics with a Minor in Finance and has deep expertise in business valuation, deal structuring, negotiation, and tax-efficient exit strategies. Matthew is the author of "Sell Smart, Exit Rich" and is currently writing "10X Your Restaurant: The $100,000 Blueprint" — a practical guide for restaurant owners who want to scale aggressively using smart leverage and borrowed capital.
His focus areas include restaurants & food service, home services & trades, e-commerce brands, and manufacturing/distribution businesses. He is passionate about equipping owners with the knowledge and tools to maximize value — whether they are preparing to sell or looking to acquire and grow.
David Hockley
Managing Partner & Co-Founder
David is a seasoned financial executive and serial entrepreneur with deep experience in deal execution, investment advisory, and building high-performing teams. As co-founder of Co. Buy Sell, he serves as the architect of the firm’s integrated M&A and capital solutions model.
His background spans wealth management, investment banking-style advisory, and strategic partnerships across the US, UK, and Asia. David has led complex transactions and helped scale advisory businesses from the ground up. He brings a rare combination of institutional discipline and entrepreneurial agility to every engagement.
At Co. Buy Sell, David focuses on ensuring every client receives sophisticated deal structuring, rigorous analysis, and access to the right capital partners — whether the goal is a clean exit, a strategic acquisition, or scaling with smart leverage. His long-standing partnership with Matthew Clark dates back over a decade of successful collaboration in financial services.
Together, Matthew and David have built Co. Buy Sell to be the partner they wish they had when they were selling and acquiring businesses themselves.

Real clients. Real outcomes.
Real confidence in their advisors.
"Matthew and David brought a level of professionalism and rigor I’ve never seen from a business broker. Their due diligence package saved me from a deal that looked good on the surface but had serious issues underneath."
"They helped me exit my restaurant group at a valuation 35% higher than I expected. The financing connections they introduced for the buyer made the deal move incredibly smoothly."
"Working with Co. Buy Sell felt like having a true partner, not a vendor. David structured the deal brilliantly and the Radix team got our SBA approved in record time. I’m already planning my next acquisition with them."
Let’s talk about your goals.
Whether you’re preparing to sell, actively looking to acquire, or exploring financing options, we’ll give you honest, actionable guidance — no pressure, no obligation.
