Initial Conversation – We discuss your business size, service area, clients, and exit goals. Valuation – We work with you to collect the needed business/asset information to get a clearer picture of how we can offer the most for your asset. The Offer – We provide a clear, no-obligation offer based on the joint valuation. Transition Period – You continue working with us for a short period (often 2–4 weeks or several cleanings) to introduce customers and ensure a smooth handoff. Payment Schedule – Payments are made on the agreed schedule, tailored to your goals.

Any prepaid or scheduled services are handled fairly — typically as liabilities that TLC fulfills after the transition. These are considered when structuring the offer.

Only during the transition period, if agreed upon. This period is determined by the scope of the transition and goals of the seller. We usually invite the seller to assist with a few initial visits to introduce clients and build trust. After that, you’re free to move on — though we sometimes offer ongoing roles for those who wish to stay involved.

Most transitions close within 1–3 weeks, depending on the size of the route and your desired timing. We move quickly while keeping communication clear and professional.
