Sunbelt and Lisa Meyer did a great job helping me buy a new business. Lisa’s expertise in guiding me through the process was instrumental in a smooth transaction. Their finance department made the process simple for getting a loan. If you are looking to buy or sell a business in the future, I would strongly recommend Lisa and Sunbelt.

Great working with Lisa and Sunbelt Business Advisors in selling my business. Lisa and the staff of Sunbelt were professional and comforting as they did a great job in honestly and fairly evaluating the worth and salability of my business. Their marketing methods were very effective and Lisa was awesome in keeping me updated on the progress of the sale. Closing went very smooth and as Sunbelt provided an attorney and all of the needed documents to complete the sale and transfer. Thank you again Sunbelt for a job well done.

I used Lisa and Richard to sell my commercial refrigeration business, and they were a solid 10 on details. They returned calls promptly, helped me with the buyer, and counseled me on how to help him get through the process. It was a great experience, I count Richard and Lisa as friends now 👏 Good job!

What a great business acquisition experience! From initial inquiry on a listed business to executed purchase agreement took 48 calendar days. Our Business Broker, Lisa Meyer, was a pleasure to work with throughout. She prepared a clear, concise business overview with Income Statement & SDE and served as a very knowledgeable resource to deftly guide the process. We’re excited to begin this journey as new owners.

Sunbelt’s Peggy DeMuse and Lisa Meyer could not have been more knowledgeable and supportive in helping us through the intense, challenging, and emotional process of readying, marketing, and selling our business. Their vast experience, tag-team availability, kind, genuine and patient guidance proved to us that we were fortunate to be working with the very best.
