Business Brokerage

Buying or selling a business, handled in confidence.

I represent buyers and sellers of Main Street and lower middle-market businesses, from valuation and positioning through negotiation and closing.

A financial model shows what a business produced. It rarely shows how the operation actually holds together on a Monday morning. That is the read I bring to either side of a deal.

Business intermediary, grounded in operating leadership

I work as a business broker with eXp Commercial’s Business Brokerage Division and am licensed in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Florida.

Before moving into business brokerage, I spent six years running the day-to-day operations of a business. That experience has a major influence on how I work with business owners today. I understand what it takes to manage employees, make payroll, build systems, solve operational problems and keep a business moving.

It also helps me look at a business from a buyer’s perspective. I focus on what will matter during due diligence, where a buyer may see risk, and whether the business can continue to operate successfully after the current owner steps away.
