The Seller Experience

What changes when you choose Lighthouse.

Most owners dread selling because they've heard the horror stories — years on market, tire-kicker buyers, confidentiality blown, and a broker collecting 10% for the privilege. We built a different model.

Keys Handed Over, Proceeds Wired

We manage due diligence (legal, financial, operational), finalize closing documents, and coordinate the transition. Proceeds wired, clean handoff.

The Lighthouse Guarantee

Promises you can hold us to.

We don't ask you to take our word for it. Our guarantee structure puts our fees behind our commitments — so your risk stays near zero.

Guarantee 01

Price Protection

Your offer is locked based on real, vetted buyer interest — not hypothetical valuations or inflated promises. The price you see is the price you get, backed by committed capital.

Guarantee 02

Speed Promise

If we don't deliver a signed LOI within 45 days and close within 75, we cover our advisory costs. Our timeline commitment has teeth — because yours should too.

Guarantee 03

Complete Confidentiality

Your business is never listed publicly. Every conversation, document, and buyer introduction happens off-market with full discretion. Employees, customers, and competitors never know.

Seller Stories

68 days. Full ask. Life changed.

Our sellers don't just close faster — they close on their terms. No drawn-out negotiations, no lowball offers, no uncertainty. Just a clear path from valuation to proceeds.

Brokers wasted a year of my time with unqualified lookers. LCG brought me a real buyer, closed in 68 days at full ask. Life-changing.

Quick Valuation Estimator

Enter your annual revenue and EBITDA for an estimated enterprise value range.

Estimated Enterprise Value Range
Based on 3–5x EBITDA multiples for professional services. Actual valuation depends on growth, customer concentration, recurring revenue, and market conditions.
How long does it take to sell a services business?

With a traditional broker, 11+ months and only a 30% success rate. At LCG, sellers receive a guaranteed offer within weeks, LOI within 45 days, and close within 75 days — with 90%+ success.

How much do brokers charge to sell a business?

Traditional brokers charge 8–12% of sale proceeds with multi-year exclusive contracts. LCG uses a flat, transparent fee — no percentage cuts, no long-term lock-in, exit anytime.

What does "guaranteed offer" actually mean?

We commit to a firm purchase offer based on real, vetted buyer interest within two weeks. This includes price protection (locked offer), a speed promise (or we cover advisory costs), and complete off-market confidentiality.

How do I know what my business is worth?

Professional services businesses are typically valued at 3–6x EBITDA depending on size, growth, recurring revenue, and customer concentration. Our free valuation goes beyond multiples — we assess market position, buyer demand, and comparable transactions.

Can I sell my business without using a broker?

You can, but most owners face longer timelines, lower prices, and higher failure rates. LCG offers a broker alternative: advisory-level support, flat fees, pre-vetted buyers, and a structured 75-day process without the traditional downsides.
