Selling a business in Minnetonka
Minnetonka and the surrounding west metro are home to major corporate headquarters, including UnitedHealth Group and Cargill, along with a strong base of professional services, healthcare, trades and consumer businesses serving affluent communities.
That environment produces a steady supply of experienced executives who want to own a company, and it attracts investors and strategic acquirers looking for well-run businesses. Buyers here expect professional-grade financials and a business that runs without its owner.
Because our office is here, we work this market every week. We help you prepare to the standard these buyers expect and run a confidential process that creates real competition.

Before You Go To Market
What Minnetonka owners should know
- Minnesota taxes capital gains as ordinary income and adds a tax on net investment income above $1 million, so deal structure can change what you keep.
- Minnesota prohibits most employee non-competes, but non-competes tied to the sale of a business are allowed.
- Minnesota’s estate tax exemption is well below the federal level, so coordinate a sale with your estate plan.
- Larger buyers increasingly expect a quality of earnings review, so clean monthly financials pay off.

Client Reviews
Owners who have been where you are
My business was a niche business and Trevor did a great job in learning all he could about it to market it well. As a first time seller, Trevor helped me through the process from beginning all the way through the sale.
He is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed. From start to finish, he communicated clearly and made every step feel smooth and well-organized. Highly recommend Meritus Group to anyone!
He didn’t waste any time starting on the task and was very detailed, confidential, experienced, very patient. I would recommend Trevor to anyone having large or small business.
