Why I started Kingdom Broker
I spent over a decade building businesses before I sold my first one, a freight and shipping brokerage I grew from a phone and a folder of contacts into something a strategic buyer wanted. Selling it was supposed to be the day I felt rich. Instead it taught me how hard it really is to get help, to scale, to find the right partner, and to walk away with what the business was actually worth.
The valuation was conservative. The buyer pool was small. The broker did the bare minimum and took the standard fee. I did it again with a private equity fund stake, then a third time with a B2B company I built from scratch. By the third exit I knew exactly what was broken.
Then I saw the bigger picture, and it kept me up at night. Roughly 10,000 business owners retire every single day, and the majority of their businesses never sell. People who spent thirty years building something watch it close instead of cash out. I could not understand why no one was solving this, why no one was helping these owners.
The stories were everywhere. Owners getting sick. Owners running out of time. My own father-in-law had a multi-million dollar landscaping business and, with no real path to sell it, had to shut it down. Decades of work, gone. That is when I knew there had to be a better way.
So I studied it. For three years I spoke with business owners, learned their biggest problems, and built the answer around them. KingdomBroker.com is tailored to the trades, owners of $1M to $20M businesses, and the exact challenges they face when it is finally time to exit.
The buyers who can actually pay top dollar are not browsing public marketplaces. They are family offices, holding companies, search funds, and strategic buyers who live in private networks. So Kingdom Broker starts with the buyers who can close, scores your business against the ones that fit, introduces you only to the real ones, and walks you through every step from valuation to wire transfer.
The mission is bigger than fees. It is to glorify Christ and serve 10,000 families in ten years.
