Ashish Bhatt
Licensed business broker
“I invest my time in your business up front. I’m paid when it sells through Synergy Business Brokers.”
What it costs
The score, the call and the diagnostic are free.
After that, your M&A broker works with you for free for as long as preparation takes, often years.
You pay only for the implementation work, at cost with no markup, from $500 a month.
Our implementers are based in the Philippines, which is why $500 a month buys about 80 hours of work.
When your business sells through Synergy Business Brokers, what you paid is credited against the commission at closing (up to 15% of it).

If it’s a fit, you do a free 30-minute diagnostic, and your scored report arrives within 24 hours of it. A follow-up call is there if you want one.
Who it’s for
Owners planning to sell within one to four years who want a clear picture before committing to preparation work.
Owners three to five years from a sale who want a documented baseline to build toward.
Owners who have already had advisory conversations and want someone to do the work of changing what needs to change.
Referred by an advisor?
If a CPA, attorney, or financial planner has referred you to Litefirm, the diagnostic is available regardless of where you are in the sale timeline. The same applies to owners who are not yet planning to sell but want an honest picture of where the business stands today.
Businesses with under $700K or over $70M in annual sales.
