Services
As a Business Broker, I specialize in helping both business owners looking to sell and buyers searching for the right opportunity navigate the complex process of business transactions. My goal is to ensure a smooth, confidential, and profitable experience for all parties involved. For business owners, I provide comprehensive business valuations to determine fair market value based on financials, industry trends, and market demand.

If financing is needed, I provide guidance on funding options, including SBA loans, to help buyers secure the right deal. My role doesn’t end at closing—I support buyers through the transition process, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources needed for long-term success.

METHODOLOGY

What we observe

DealLedger publishes what is publicly displayed. Broker records aggregate every observed listing tied to this firm across our sources. Counts above reflect distinct listings observed, not closed transactions confirmed by the broker.

We do not have direct visibility into which listings sold. When a listing stops appearing in our scrapes, we mark it as no longer observed — but we do not claim it sold. Some close; some withdraw; some are re-listed under a new ID; some are simply missed by our scraper. We surface the observation; you draw the conclusion.

RIGHT TO RESPOND
