Introduction
Rob Lewis serves as President and Senior Intermediary with Deploy Business Advisors, Inc., specializing in custom professional advisory and brokerage services for on-going business enterprises. As a Certified Business Intermediary, Rob is uniquely credentialed in his region with proven skills to assist business owners with the preparation, pricing, packaging, and marketing of businesses for sale. Bringing a personalized, differentiating level of value-added services to his clients, Rob is experienced in facilitating financing/ loan packaging through the SBA and USDA governmental programs and with lenders looking to place business acquisition loans with low equity capital for qualified borrowers.
Prior to forming Deploy Business Advisors, Rob spent the previous 5 years working in a high-volume, commercial real estate office with TRADD Commercial of Myrtle Beach, specializing in multi-level business deals containing commercial real estate components in addition to on-going business enterprises.

While his career included working in large markets such as NYC and Denver, previous small business consulting and transactional advisory work in the Carolinas led to a passion for serving the privately-held, family-owned sector.
