At Murphy Business – Iowa, we provide hands-on business consulting rooted in real-world experience. Our team understands what it’s like to own, operate, buy, and sell businesses—and we bring that perspective into every client relationship.
Our consulting process begins with listening. We take time to understand your goals, your obstacles, and the unique dynamics of your business. From there, we provide clear, actionable recommendations based on financial analysis, operational insight, and industry benchmarks.
What sets us apart is that we don’t just offer advice—we help you put it into action. Whether that means improving systems, preparing for expansion, or getting your business ready for market, our team is equipped to guide you from strategy to execution.

Our team brings decades of experience across a wide range of industries—including logistics, distribution, software, retail, manufacturing, franchising, and more. We’ve worked as business owners, SBA lenders, investors, and executives. That diversity of experience allows us to see challenges from every angle.
As Iowa-based advisors, we understand the regional business landscape and the unique opportunities and constraints facing local owners. At the same time, we are part of Murphy Business—a national network with access to transaction data, industry tools, and buyer/investor relationships across North America.

What types of businesses do you consult with?
We work with small to midsize privately held businesses across a variety of sectors. Our approach is industry-agnostic and tailored to your operational and financial realities.
How long do consulting engagements last?
Engagements vary depending on the scope of work. Some clients hire us for project-based support, while others rely on ongoing guidance over months or years as they prepare for major transitions.
Do I need to be selling my business to benefit from consulting?
Not at all. Many of our clients are focused on increasing profitability, improving systems, or positioning their business for future growth or succession—even if a sale isn’t on the immediate horizon.
Is everything kept confidential?
Yes. Confidentiality is foundational to every client relationship. Your business information is protected throughout our engagement.
