Call, write, or book a time. A person answers.
Weekdays 9 to 5 the phone is picked up at the office, not by a service. Email is read and answered by an advisor, not routed to a queue. If the question is about your own business, the fastest path is the free value range or a 30-minute consult, and both are below.
Phone, email, or the office.
- Phone
- (312) 278-2109, weekdays 9 to 5. A person answers. Outside those hours, leave a message and you'll hear back first thing the next business morning.
- info@lakeshoreexitpartners.com. A sentence or two about the business and your timing is plenty. Everything you send is held in confidence, and nothing is shared with anyone.

West Loop. Meet here, or we come to your business anywhere in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry or Will county. - For buyers
- Roll-ups, strategics, searchers and individuals looking at prepared Chicagoland companies: read our criteria and process first, then email with what you're looking for and how it's financed.
- For referral partners
- CPAs, attorneys, bankers and advisors with a client who has started asking what the business is worth: email is best. Mark it "referral" and an advisor will call you before anyone calls your client.
Get a confidential value range
Revenue, industry and an email address. A CPA-prepared range and the two or three items a buyer's accountant would raise first. Nothing to sign.
Start the value range Free · 30 minutes by phoneBook a 30-minute consult
Thirty minutes with a CPA about timing, value and gaps. Pick two windows and we confirm one within a business hour.
Book a consult No commission when we buyAsk about a direct sale
If you'd rather sell to one prepared buyer than run a process, book a consult and say so. If we want to buy, you get it in writing up front, and you stay free to go to market.
Ask about selling to LakeshoreWhat would it sell for?
Three inputs, two business days, no listing agreement. If the honest answer is wait, you'll hear that too.
Three steps, and none of them is a sales call.
-
We read it the same day
A call or an email reaches an advisor, not a queue. If you asked for the value range, the work starts then and the range is in your inbox within two business days.
-
A short conversation
Thirty minutes by phone, or in person if you prefer. Your numbers, your timing, and the two or three things a buyer would push on. No slide deck.
-
A next step only if it's useful
That might be the $4,500 Exit-Readiness Review, going to market, a conversation about selling to Lakeshore, or waiting a year. There is no follow-up sequence. If the timing is wrong, we say so and leave you alone.
Directions. Riverside Plaza sits on the west bank of the Chicago River in the West Loop. Union Station is across Canal Street, and Ogilvie is a short walk north. If you're coming in by train, you can be at the office within a few minutes of stepping off the platform.
