Helping You Buy & Sell Businesses, Maximizing Value in Charleston’s Thriving Market.
I am a business broker and M&A advisor with more than 18 years of experience representing owners of lower middle-market, owner-operated businesses. Over the course of my career, I have advised on hundreds of transactions across a wide range of industries, with a particular focus on first-time sellers navigating a business sale for the first time. A successful transaction is not just about price, but about structure, timing, expectations, and execution. I focus on preparing clients for the realities of the market, helping them understand value drivers, and designing a process that attracts qualified buyers while protecting confidentiality. I have experience managing complex transactions involving multiple stakeholders, including CPAs, attorneys, lenders, private equity groups, and strategic buyers. I regularly work alongside advisors to address tax considerations, deal structure, and post-closing implications, ensuring that the transaction aligns with the owner’s broader financial and personal goals. My experience spans asset and stock sales, SBA and conventional financing, seller financing, earn-outs, and multi-location or family-owned enterprises. I take a highly organized, detail-oriented approach to transaction management, keeping deals moving while minimizing surprises during diligence and closing.
