Don’t Settle For Less
Sell Your Business or Evaluate Your Business?
Welcome to your one-stop shop for business valuation and sales. I have been a business broker since 2016, and have consulted with businesses from start-ups to multinationals for more than 30 years. I became a Certified Value Builder to address the needs of my clients who wanted to sell, but who discovered they still had work to do to get the valuation they wanted or needed.
Small business owners face unique challenges—they not only are pursuing their passion, but they are also making decisions on the business operations themselves.
Charge Forward
Setting Priorities
You’ve heard the phrase: ”Working ON your business, not IN your business.” This is a critical decision you make each day. The more you work “in” your business, the more integrated you are in the services and product the business provides. The more you work “on” your business, the more you are focusing on building an infrastructure and growth path that can keep producing even as you take time for yourself and your family.
Working “on” or “in” your business also impacts the value you are building. Most business owners are heavily invested in their businesses—both in terms of time and money. Building a strong, transferable infrastructure will reap rewards as you plan your business endgame.
Let’s face it, every business owner will leave their business at some point—whether planned or involuntary. When you consider your endgame, what do you see? If you see selling or transferring your business to new leadership and having the money to do what you want next—tomorrow or long in the future, let’s talk!

Make Your Own Opportunities
Welcome to our site. If you are here, it is likely you are a business owner—and that you are thinking about your business endgame.
I am a Certified Business Broker and Commercial Real Estate Broker. I’m also a serial entrepreneur. I know what it’s like to own a business and I know what it’s like to plan and execute an exit strategy. I have founded or co-founded ten businesses in a variety of fields from a tech PR firm to a day spa and an event center. Some exits were great. Some not so much.
