For Business Owners

You Built Something Real.
Let's Make Sure the Exit Reflects That.

Most owners are 1–12 months from readiness when they first reach out. That's exactly the right time. Doug Lewiskin works quietly alongside you — no pressure, no public listings, no rush — until the timing is right and the outcome is what you deserve.

A Process Built Around You — Not the Transaction

1
Confidential First Conversation No forms, no pressure, no public exposure. We talk about where you are and where you want to go — nothing more until you're ready.
2
Honest Assessment Doug Lewiskin will tell you what he actually thinks — including if the timing isn't right yet. That honesty is the foundation of the relationship.
3
Strategic Positioning When you're ready, we build the story that gets qualified buyers to the table — not tire-kickers.
4
Managed Process Confidential marketing, qualified buyer screening, offer negotiation, and close — coordinated to protect your value and your business operations throughout.
5
Post-Transition Support The deal closing is the beginning. We can coordinate tax mitigation, real estate, financing, and wealth protection across TAC's full platform.

Signs It May Be Time to Have a Conversation

  • You've started thinking about what comes next — even if you haven't said it out loud
  • A key employee, partner, or family member situation is changing
  • You're feeling the weight of running the business more than the reward
  • A competitor or industry buyer has approached you informally
  • You're wondering what the business is actually worth in today's market
  • Lease renewal, equipment replacement, or a capital decision is on the horizon
  • You want options before you need them

Tax Mitigation & High-End Asset Protection

The tax bill at exit is often the biggest surprise — and the most avoidable one. Our strategic partners deploy IRS-compliant strategies that go far beyond a standard 1031 exchange.

📉

Capital Gains Reduction

Advanced structures that can significantly reduce — and in some cases eliminate — capital gains exposure at the time of sale.

💰

Potential IRS Refunds

Certain strategies can unlock refunds on taxes already paid — a conversation worth having before or after closing.

🛡️

High-End Asset Protection

Sophisticated protection structures for business owners, real estate investors, and high-net-worth individuals who need to shield what they've built.

All strategies are IRS-compliant and coordinated with your existing CPA and legal team. This is not a replacement for your advisors — it's an enhancement that most generalist advisors simply don't offer.

Every Service You Need, Under One Roof

Your transition touches more than just the business sale. Through TAC's eight divisions, you have access to everything that surrounds it.

CRE Sales & Leasing

If your transition involves the real property, our CRE team handles it — separately from the business transaction, with clear lane separation.

Commercial RE Financing

Up to $75 million. No tax returns required. Built for investors and buyers who need flexibility that traditional banks won't offer.

Residential Sales & Leasing

Whether you're relocating post-sale or simply helping a key employee find housing, our residential team is ready.

Residential Financing

Jumbo and non-QM products up to $30 million for high-net-worth individuals and real estate investors.

Insurance Services

Personal and commercial insurance solutions coordinated alongside your transition — so your protection picture is complete.

Business & RE Investment Opportunities

Once you've sold, we can help you deploy capital into curated acquisition and investment opportunities.
