– A defensible business valuation you can act on.

Why Choose Lion Over Other Brokers?
You’re not just a listing on a portal, you’re a client with a plan, a timeline, and a trusted partner who understands that selling your business is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. When the time comes to exit, you want more than a broker, you want an advisor who listens more than they talk and brings the experience to guide you through every stage with clarity and confidence.
Most confidential business sales take 7-9 months from listing to closing, though preparation can begin 1-3 years earlier depending on readiness.
Business valuation depends on financial performance, market conditions, industry multiples, and growth potential. Our valuation process benchmarks your business against current market data to establish a defensible price range.
We use controlled data systems, require NDAs before sharing information, vet all buyers for financial qualification, and maintain anonymity until you approve disclosure.
We combine experienced M&A advisory with advanced valuation tools, rigorous buyer qualification, and full-cycle deal support. You’re not just a listing, you’re a client with a strategic exit plan.
