The difference

Most brokers have only ever sold a business. Lee built them.

He co-founded a home service company and grew it from two people to twenty-five. He ran multi-million-dollar service operations. He led acquisitions for a private-equity-backed platform. Then he started Trivie to do for other owners what he wishes someone had done for him.

So when Lee sits across from an owner, he already knows the weight of payroll, the pride in a route run right, and what it feels like to hand over something you built with your own hands. That lived experience is why owners trust Trivie to carry their life's work across the finish line.

What's it worth? Let's talk about it.

Where are you?

Three honest places to start.

"I think I'm ready to sell." Sell-side representation A confidential, owner-first sale that protects your team and your name, and finds the right buyer, not just any buyer.
"I just want to know what it's worth." Business valuation A clear, defensible opinion of value built on real cash flow, for planning, partners, or peace of mind. No obligation to ever sell.
"I'm looking to buy or grow." Buy-side & acquisitions We represent buyers searching for the right privately held business, with an operator's eye for what's actually worth owning.

How we protect you

The best businesses are sold in private.

Your employees don't find out. Your customers don't find out. Your competitors never get the chance. This is how every Trivie engagement reads to the outside world, until you decide otherwise.

Buyers are screened and sign non-disclosure agreements before they see a single real number. Discretion isn't a promise on a badge. It's the way the whole process is built.
