The Arch Corporation works alongside business owners navigating transitions — and the professional advisors who serve them. Thoughtful. Confidential. No pressure.
A focused set of services for business owners at a crossroads — and the advisors who serve them.
Most business owners don't realize how much of their exit proceeds they can legally keep. Through advanced IRS-compliant strategies, our partners help owners reduce — not just defer — capital gains tax at exit. In some cases, owners have received significant IRS refunds on taxes already paid.
Representing owners and buyers through confidential, professionally managed transactions. We work with established businesses across industries.
Not every transition is a full sale. We help owners explore partial recaps, management buyouts, and family succession structures.
A structured, relationship-first program for commercial real estate professionals whose clients are considering business transitions.
Doug brings a relationship-first approach to business transitions. Before a transaction ever begins, the work is in earning trust — with owners, with advisors, and with buyers.
With offices in Greenville, SC, Calabasas, CA, and Athens, GA, The Arch Corporation works with owners and buyers across the country. Every engagement is handled with discretion, patience, and a long-term perspective.
Doug's background in working with both commercial real estate professionals and business owners gives him a unique vantage point — understanding not just the business, but the full picture of what a transition means for a client's life and legacy.
Commercial real estate and business transitions are deeply connected. When your clients are thinking about their businesses, we can help — and we'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
We want to meet your clients before they've made decisions, not after. The earlier we're involved, the more we can help — and the more likely real estate is part of the outcome.
We handle the business side completely. When real estate decisions arise — sale-leaseback, relocation, disposition — we hand back to you. No overlap, no awkwardness.
This is a referral relationship built on trust, not paperwork. We don't need exclusivity agreements to work together. We just need mutual respect and a shared commitment to the client.
No pressure. No obligation to do anything at all. If you're curious about what a transition might look like — or just want to think out loud with someone who's seen a lot of these situations — Doug is a good place to start.
