Strategic Business Sales with Joshua Carnes & Lion Business Brokers
Selling a business is one of the most important—and personal—decisions a business owner will make. At Lion Business Brokers, we help founders navigate the process with clarity, confidentiality, and strategic execution. Led by Joshua Carnes, our team brings together deep M&A experience, marketing precision, and a qualified buyer network to ensure you sell your business for maximum value.
Why Business Owners Trust Joshua Carnes to Lead Their Sale
Today’s successful business brokers don’t just list companies—they position them. We combine strategic insight, deal-making experience, and specialized buyer outreach to deliver results that go beyond the industry standard.
What You Can Expect:
Confidential Representation: We protect your identity and business information at every step, using non-descript profiles and strict buyer screening protocols.
Targeted Buyer Outreach: Through financial, strategic, and individual buyer channels, we market your business to a wide, qualified audience—without compromising your privacy.
Hands-On Deal Management: From preparing your Confidential Business Review (CBR) to negotiating terms and managing diligence, we oversee the entire process, so you can stay focused on running your business.
A Quiet Process. A Powerful Outcome.
Confidentiality is critical when selling a business. We ensure that all buyer communications are filtered through our team, and no direct outreach happens without your knowledge. Buyers are required to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before receiving any sensitive details, and we only present your business to those who meet our strict qualification standards.
We handle the back-and-forth, field buyer questions, and manage requests on your behalf, shielding your time and your business’s reputation throughout the sale process.
