About

About Litefirm

Litefirm runs the private equity value creation playbook for owners before they sell. We look at the company the way a buyer will, find the few changes worth the most for the least cost, and put experienced operators inside the business to make them.

Initial focus: Florida and Georgia. Select engagements elsewhere.
How we work: On-site, hybrid or remote, part-time or full-time, depending on the company and the work.
Who we work with: Companies with about $10M to $75M in annual revenue, usually one to five years from a sale; growing, flat or declining.
Business sales: Led by Ashish Bhatt through his M&A practice at Synergy.
What we don't do: Recommend without implementing; try to fix everything; give legal, tax, personal financial or investment advice.
