Unlike large consulting firms, Lighthouse is sensitive to the connection to the business and will endeavour to maximize the return of any sale, whether that is financial or other goals.

This can be achieved through proper preparation that in some cases may be years in advance of a sale……a timeframe that many M&A advisors would not encourage sellers to take!  But Lighthouse looks at the long game and what is best for the seller and not what business can be closed the fastest, potentially sacrificing incremental revenue for the seller.

With the corporate experience and professional sales training skills, Lighthouse then takes another step that many in the industry do not;  actively engage and solicit target buyers.  Yes, some firms will just post your business up for sale on their website and sit back and wait, and hope, the right buyer comes along….or maybe any buyer for that matter.

At Lighthouse, we understand that the right buyer is unlikely to come across your business on most internet boards as there is no one place like MLS dominating the industry for business sales.  In all honesty, the potential buyer may not even be actively looking for a business opportunity.  A buyer may not even know they have a need or desire to be in the market for your business.  Lighthouse knows that the right message may just modify their business plans to include the acquisition of your business.
