Murphy Business Sales
Darren Smith has spent his career at the intersection of business ownership, growth strategy, and strategic exits, giving him a rare, 360-degree view of what it takes to build a business worth selling and successfully get it across the finish line.
As the founder of Smith Business Group (SBG), Darren leads a multi-brand advisory platform built specifically for business owners at every stage of their journey. SBG’s integrated service lanes business brokerage, franchise consulting, and commercial lending reflect a simple truth Darren learned from working with hundreds of owners: most people wait too long, and most businesses aren’t ready when the moment comes.
As an independently owned franchisee of Murphy Business Sales, one of the nation’s largest and most respected business brokerage networks, Darren operates across a 14-county New York Metro and New Jersey territory. He brings the resources of a national platform with the accountability and relationships of a local advisor.
Darren works directly with business owners at every step. Whether you’re just starting to think about an exit or ready to go to market, you get hands-on, personal attention from someone who has sat across the table from buyers and sellers, negotiated deals, secured financing, and guided owners through one of the most significant transitions of their financial lives.
If you’re thinking about selling in the next one to five years or simply want to know where you stand, you’re in the right place.
