Our Advisors

Seattle, Washington

As experienced business facilitators, there is not much we have not seen when it comes to facilitating business transactions. We would like to put that experience to work for you.

We can make the sometimes overwhelming, complicated, and cumbersome process of selling......manageable. Sharp Business Brokers continues to have great success with "Upper Main Street - Lower Middle Market" companies. Having represented businesses from $1MM to $20MM in revenue, with expertise in many business sectors, we use a team approach to best represent the interests of our clients. Our passion is to work with business owners as they prepare to sell or transfer their business either through a family or employee buy-out or selling their business to a third party. Each transaction takes on a life of its own and we become personally connected to the business community that we serve.
