Whippoorwill Advisors:
Your Trusted Partner When It's Time to Sell Your Business
You built something real. Something that took years of early mornings, long days, and decisions no one else wanted to make. When the time comes to sell my business or explore how to sell a small business, you deserve more than a form on a website and a broker who treats your business like a line item. That’s where Whippoorwill Advisors comes in.
We are a specialized firm offering Whippoorwill Advisors consulting and advisory support, focused entirely on helping owners sell service business operations with confidence, clarity, and the right price in hand. No retainer required. No guesswork. Just a team that knows your industry and works hard to find the right buyer for everything you’ve built.
What We Do
Whippoorwill Advisors provides full-service business broker services for trade-based and service businesses across the country. From your first conversation to the day you close, we are in your corner as your private business sale advisor and trusted business for sale advisor.
Our process starts with a free business valuation services assessment. We take a hard look at your financials, your operations, your customer base, and your market position to tell you exactly what your business is worth today. That number matters. It shapes everything that comes after.
Once we figure out what your business is worth we get started. We find buyers who’re a good fit check them carefully and only connect them with your business if they pass our checks. These checks include a background check. Signing a confidentiality agreement. Your staff customers and competitors won’t know you’re selling until you decide to tell them. Confidentiality is a deal for us.
We make it our top priority, from the beginning. It’s not something to take lightly. We take confidentiality seriously.
Why Whippoorwill Advisors
There are a lot of business brokers out there. Most of them cast a wide net, list anything that comes their way, and move on to the next deal. That’s not how we work.
Whippoorwill Advisors is more than just a brokerage. We act as your strategic marketing advisor, combining Whippoorwill Advisors marketing services with hands-on deal support. We are also a trusted advisor for small businesses who want to make smart decisions about their future.
We focus on a specific kind of business. Trade-based. Service-oriented. Privately owned. We really know these types of businesses inside and out. That knowledge helps a lot when it comes to getting the price promoting them and talking about the sale.
Lou DeLone leads our team personally. He has helped hundreds of business owners navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. His clients will tell you he’s available, honest, and relentless about getting results. You can read their words on our website. We didn’t write them. They did.
We also don’t require an upfront retainer. We get paid when you get paid. That’s it. We only win when you win, which means we are fully invested in your outcome from the very first call.
