For advisors & bankers
When a client's business depends on a few people, planning isn't enough.
You may already see it:
- A founder who still approves everything
- Numbers that take weeks to close
- A key manager with no backup
- A buyer who would question how the business runs without its owner
Litefirm helps the company fix the operating problem before it becomes a transaction problem.
For bankers
Key-person risk is also credit risk
If a company depends heavily on one or two people, their departure can affect cash flow, customer retention, succession and the ability to refinance or sell.
The referral doesn't have to start with "this owner wants to sell." It can start with "this company needs to run less on one person."
The work
What we do
We look at the company the way a buyer will, find the few changes that would add the most value for the least cost, and put experienced operators inside the business to make them. For founder- and family-owned companies from about $10M to $75M in revenue.
Your client
Your relationship stays intact
We handle the operating and implementation work. Your tax, legal, wealth or banking relationship stays where it is.
