Testimonials

We recently sold our family business. I contacted Ian and he helped me do a stock sale of the business. I initially thought I could sell it on my own but, after going through the process I realize that would not have been a good choice. There were many twists and turns that came up and Ian helped me understand and navigate through all of them. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian if you are buying or selling as he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the business and takes care of everything.

I worked with Ian on an asset purchase sale for one of my restaurant locations. Ian clearly laid out the plan, set proper expectations, found a great buyer, communicated regularly, and followed through in every regard. I consider Ian to be a consummate professional and felt like I was working with a friend the whole time. I highly recommend working with Ian if you are interested in buying/ selling a business or buying or selling a property. Ian is one of the good guys and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Owner, Managing Director of Five Nine Capital

"Working with Ian was a complete pleasure from beginning to end.

I owned the #1 one janitorial and maid company in Los Angeles. I have high standards. From the first time we met, we set an lofty schedule for my business to be sold. Ian performed brilliantly. Not only did Ian sell my business quickly and efficiently, he closed escrow on the sale well before the anticipated deadline.

I absolutely recommend Ian Lashley to anyone who is looking to sell their business."
