Business Buyer Advisory Services

Buy With Confidence — Strategic Guidance, No Commissions

For serious business buyers who want clarity, speed, and smart decisions.

Who This Is For:

  • You’re actively searching or preparing to buy a business

  • You have capital or SBA pre-qualification

  • You’re evaluating listings but unsure what’s good vs. risky

  • You want a second set of eyes from someone who knows the traps, pricing tactics, and due diligence landmines

  • If that’s you — you’re exactly who I built this for.

What You Get:

  • Review and breakdown of live listings or seller packages

  • Strategic guidance on deal structure and valuation

  • Coaching on LOIs, negotiations, and red flags

  • Insights to avoid common buyer mistakes and time-wasters

Why Trust This Advisory?

I’m not just an independent advisor — I’m backed by one of the top-performing offices in the Transworld Business Advisors global network. With access to real deal data, insights from hundreds of brokers, and years of transaction experience across local and international markets, I bring a level of depth most buyers simply don’t have access to.

  • Our office has closed hundreds of successful business transactions over the past decade

  • I draw on data and insights from active listings, sold comps, and real buyer/seller behaviors

  • When I say a deal is overpriced, risky, or strong — it's based on firsthand marketplace intelligence

You're not getting surface-level advice — you're getting the inside edge that typically only brokers see.

How Does it Work?

My advisory services are flat-fee, project-based, and independent of any specific transaction. That means:

  • I don’t work on commission when advising buyers

  • I don’t find businesses for you

  • I don’t drag you into deals that don’t make sense

Instead, I serve as your acquisition-side sounding board — experienced, objective, and focused on helping you make smart moves.
