• Houlihan Lokey: Houlihan Lokey is a global investment bank with a substantial middle market M&A advisory practice. While serving larger transactions than VR San Antonio's typical $1M-$25M deal size, it competes at the upper edge of VR's M&A segment for businesses with $30M+ revenue.

Others

Emerging players

• BizBuySell: BizBuySell is the largest online business-for-sale marketplace in North America. While not a broker itself, it disintermediates traditional brokers by enabling direct buyer-seller matching, putting pressure on the marketing/listing value that VR brokers provide.
• Acquire.com: Acquire.com is an online marketplace for buying and selling startups and small online businesses, representing a technology-enabled alternative to traditional business brokers at the lower end of the market. Indirect competitive pressure on VR's Main Street segment from a tech-native model.
