Buying a Business
You Don’t Have to Buy a Business Alone.
Maybe you want the whole acquisition handled for you, from sourcing to close. Maybe you’ve already found a deal and want an independent read before you offer. Or maybe you just want the right opportunities to find you. You’ll have an experienced advocate looking out for your interests at every step.
Three ways to work with Two Oaks as a buyer
You want the whole acquisition handled
Buy-Side Advisory
A Managed Acquisition, Start to Close
You get the whole acquisition managed, not just leads to chase. Lloyd’s team sources and screens every opportunity before it reaches you, and Lloyd values it himself as a CFA charterholder, then builds and negotiates the offer. You’re represented across every deal, from first look to closing.
You’ve found the one
The Deal Verdict
Know What This Deal Is Really Worth Before You Offer

Questions Buyers Ask
What buyers ask most when they’re evaluating opportunities with Two Oaks.
- How does confidentiality work?
Your identity, financial information, and acquisition interest are kept confidential. On the seller side, business details are shared only after NDA and financial verification. Two Oaks protects both sides at every stage.
- How do you communicate with buyers?
Directly, and always personal. Lloyd calls or emails you himself, starting with your 24-business-hour reply on where you stand. From there, the contact matches what you need — working through a deal you’ve brought him, keeping you posted during a search, or reaching out the moment the right fit surfaces. No automated notifications, no mass distribution.
- How do you match buyers with the right opportunity?
There’s no single path here. Some buyers come to Two Oaks with a specific business already in mind, and Lloyd represents their side of that deal. Others want help finding the right one, so Lloyd runs a search against your industry, size range, geography, and operating goals, and brings you what’s worth a closer look. If you’re not at either point yet, he keeps you in mind and reaches out the moment a genuine fit surfaces. Whichever describes you, you’ll know where you stand within 24 business hours.
- What industries and transaction sizes do you cover?
Upper Main Street and lower middle market businesses, across most industries. Services, trades, manufacturing, healthcare practices, and more — SaaS and software aren’t a current focus.
- What does a typical timeline look like?
It depends on what you’re looking for. Some buyers find the right opportunity within weeks. Others take months. The pace is set by finding the right fit, not by rushing to close.
- Do you help with financing?
Two Oaks does not provide financing directly. If you need SBA or conventional acquisition financing, we can connect you with lenders experienced in business acquisitions.
