Broker Biography

Introduction

Ian Lashley is a seasoned business intermediary and broker with over 15 years of experience guiding clients through the sale, purchase, and acquisition of small to mid-sized businesses.

Prior to entering business brokerage, Ian spent more than 12 years working with numerous apparel brands in design, marketing, and sales. In 2003, he leveraged this experience to launch his own apparel sales and distribution company along with a men’s contemporary retail store. An early adopter of retail e-commerce, Ian expanded the business to offer merchandise worldwide. The company’s online store was successfully acquired by a Canadian undergarment company in 2010.

Following this exit, Ian transitioned into business brokerage in 2011, joining Sunbelt Business Brokers—the same firm that had represented the acquisition of his own company. He began his brokerage career at the Sunbelt Business Brokers Pasadena office, where he supported clients throughout the entire transaction process, including deal structuring, negotiation, due diligence, and the successful closing of business sales and acquisitions.

Ian later served with National Business Brokerage, overseeing client engagements, negotiating deal terms, managing due diligence, and successfully closing complex acquisitions and business transactions. His work has been recognized for its high level of professional competence and proficiency within the business brokerage industry.

In 2016, Ian obtained his broker’s license and founded The Lashley Group, where he continues to serve business owners and buyers with a practical, hands-on approach rooted in real-world operating experience, discretion, and results.
