Selling a Business in Mooresville — What You Need to Know
Mooresville's business sale market has a distinctive character unlike any other Charlotte suburb. The concentration of NASCAR race teams — Hendrick Motorsports, Stewart-Haas Racing, Richard Childress Racing, and dozens more within a few miles — creates a precision manufacturing, composites, and technical services ecosystem that attracts specialized strategic buyers from the motorsports industry. Lowe's global headquarters adds a separate corporate professional buyer pool of senior retail executives who represent some of the best-capitalized individual buyers in North Carolina.
Lake Norman's waterfront communities — some of the most expensive residential real estate in the Carolinas — create a consumer market with exceptional spending power for home services, healthcare, boating, and lifestyle businesses. The affluent residential base drives consistent demand for premium service businesses where revenue per customer and willingness-to-pay are substantially above regional norms.
Mooresville's growth as a Charlotte suburb has brought conventional residential growth demand that supports home services, healthcare, and professional services businesses at standard Charlotte-metro multiples. The layering of motorsports, corporate headquarters, and Lake Norman luxury residential creates a market where niche businesses can achieve extraordinary valuations if positioned correctly.

Most business brokers in Mooresville charge 10% to 12%. On a million-dollar sale, that's $100K to $120K out of your pocket before you see a dime. John Salony charges 6% — which means on that same sale, you keep an extra $40K to $60K.
That's possible because of two things most brokers don't have: an AI-powered approach to CIM preparation and data gathering, and a 20-year network of serious buyers across the Southeast — including Mooresville — who are ready to move when the right opportunity comes along.
And John only gets paid when you do. No upfront fees. No retainers. If the deal doesn't close, you owe nothing.
