Lauren has been a successful business broker for decades serving business buyers and sellers. I have personally worked with her on transaction details and found that she is thorough in her work and appropriately selective in who she engages with on projects. If she passed on a sell-side project I can assure you that it was because the seller was either not prepared, not willing to move forward or not sellable. Accepting poor quality listings is the worst possible taboo of a business broker. read more

I highly recommend Lauren Drummond-Dale of Coastal Consultants. Having known Lauren for more than ten years, and having collaborated with her on several transactions, I admire her expertise and integrity. Her extensive experience in the industry is evident in the way she navigates complex situations with ease, always keeping her clients' best interests first. Lauren's dedication to her clients and her ability to deliver exceptional results consistently set her apart as a true professional in the business brokerage industry. And, as noted by Jeff S. below, if she were to refuse a sell-side client, it is because they weren't prepared, not sellable, or were misled by the lead gen company. But if you are looking to sell your business, Lauren will definitely do right by you. read more
