Lee Sheaffer founded BizReady, Inc. to successfully transition ownership of lower-middle market businesses. The best transitions occur when businesses are strong, sellers are prepared, and buyers have the experience and funding to succeed.

We begin work with sellers by assessing the readiness of their business for sale and their personal readiness for exit. This ensures we bring only the best businesses to market. If it isn’t the right time to sell, BizReady assists with value building in preparation for a later sale. When a seller is ready to go to market, we execute an effective and confidential marketing plan and sale. We have redefined business brokerage to include a long-term relationship with our clients - not simply the buy-sell transaction.

BizReady supports buyers through an array of consulting services such providing basic industry insights, buyer profile preparation, and intermediary consulting services. We support both sellers and buyers before and after the sale by strengthening and growing value drivers that are statistically proven to make a business more valuable. Owning a valuable, smooth-running business is ideal, and owners in such a position will be ready and able to sell successfully when the time is right.

Lee Sheaffer is known as a creative problem solver who makes complex issues easily understood. From real estate management and development to providing CFO consulting services to owning a restaurant and accounting firm, Lee has extensive experience in maximizing a business’ potential and making successful transitions.
