” Most founders spend years building a business, only to leave 40% of its value on the table at the exit because they lacked the right systems—or the right partner.
My job is to bridge that gap. Whether you hire my mind by the month or my reputation by the result, we aren’t just scaling a company; we are engineering an asset that the market can’t ignore.” — David Mayfair
Business Exit & Brokerage
You spent years building this company. When you decide to sell, you shouldn’t be guessing. My work here is simple: help you exit on purpose with a clear plan, qualified buyers, and a structure that protects what you’ve built.
By pairing the reach of a global brokerage network with the discretion of a private bank, I can put your business in front of more than 36,000 active buyers and investors.
This side of my practice operates on a pure performance model. There are no retainers or upfront fees. My compensation is tied directly to getting your deal closed. Most owners I work with are looking to smooth out their transition, diversify their wealth out of a single asset, and step into their next chapter with true financial freedom.
If you are seriously considering a sale, we should start with a private valuation of your business. It is fast, completely confidential, and built for owners who are ready to make a real move.
Private Advisory
Working with me as a consultant is intentionally expensive. My advisory retainers start at $25,000 a month because this is not “pick my brain” time. This is direct, unvarnished access to the exact thinking I use to evaluate and sell businesses in the real world.
If you want cheap ideas, there are plenty of books and podcasts. If you want someone who lives in the deal trenches to tear into your operations and balance sheet the way a serious buyer would, that is what this retainer is for.
I take on a very small number of consulting clients each year, usually founders who are 12 to 36 months away from selling. The goal isn’t to turn you into a client for life. It is to tighten your numbers, sharpen your narrative, and fix your internal systems so that when you step into the market—whether you work with me or someone else—you walk in holding all the leverage.
If your main goal is to sell immediately, my exit brokerage work is usually the better fit. But if you want to systematically increase what your company is worth before you list it, we can apply for an advisory spot.
I am a Business Sales Advisor based in California, helping founders turn decades of hard work into lasting financial freedom.
After years in the deal trenches evaluating, restructuring, and selling companies, I built my practice around a single premise: owners deserve the exact same strategic leverage as institutional buyers.
Today, I advise a small group of ambitious business owners on value creation while representing select founders in private, high-value exits.
