Client and business identities remain confidential by design. Every engagement above is real, disclosed here only by category. References are available to serious buyers and sellers on request.

She sold her own businesses first.

Before representing other owners, Rebecca built, operated, and exited three companies of her own: a document destruction company, a landscaping company, and a cleaning company. The payroll runs, the equipment loans, the buyers across the table: those years are the foundation of how RLC prices and sells businesses today.

Why RLC

A broker who has sat in your seat.

Most brokers have sold businesses. Very few have built them, run them, made payroll on a hard month, and signed the closing documents as the seller. Rebecca has done all of it.

Operator first

Rebecca built, operated, and successfully exited three service businesses of her own: a document destruction company, a landscaping company, and a cleaning company, before representing other owners.

Broad industry experience

Auto repair, HVAC and plumbing, wellness, insurance agencies, e-commerce, industrial distribution, restaurants, and more. Real closed deals across a wide range of California industries.

Evidence-based pricing

Every engagement starts with a rigorous SDE recast: earnings normalized, add-backs documented, risks identified, so the price defends itself in front of buyers and lenders.

The process

What a well-run sale looks like.

A defined process protects your confidentiality, your price, and your time.

Valuation

Normalized earnings, documented add-backs, and a defensible market-based value range before anything goes to market.

Preparation

Fix what quietly drains value: records, lease terms, owner dependence, while it can still change the outcome.

Confidential marketing

Blind listings, screened buyers, and NDAs before disclosure. Your employees and customers learn about the sale from you, after it closes.

Negotiation & close

Offer strategy, diligence management, SBA coordination, and steady hands through escrow to the wire transfer.

Case study · Auto repair

Positioned turnkey, not owner-dependent.

"The difference between Rebecca and other brokers? She knew exactly what to fix before we went to market — and how to bring the right buyers."
