Broker Biography
Introduction
When it comes to selling a business, owners often make the same costly mistake over and over: They list the business for sale before it’s buyer-ready. As the founder of LA Business Pros and a practicing attorney focused on business law and estate planning, Tawnya helps business owners prepare, position, and sell their businesses with first-rate results. After a successful sale, her clients are free to move their futures forward in any direction they choose.
Tawnya’s business foundation came from 20+ years in information technologies, where she learned to pay careful attention to details. As a programmer/analyst, and later as director of IT, she served businesses ranging in size from small mom-and-pop shops to global corporations like Hewlett Packard and Investor’s Business Daily.
In 2006, Tawnya shifted her focus to business sales and acquisitions. Her detail-oriented mindset and analytical skills helped her to assess businesses, identify potential deal-breakers, and determine ways to increase value.
In 2010, Tawnya began her journey to obtain a Juris Doctor degree so she could communicate more effectively with client and buyer attorneys, read and understand the fine print, and provide the highest quality service to her business owner clients.
Today, Tawnya leverages her deep expertise to identify potential obstacles and prepare a path to overcome them. In addition to her role as an M&A Advisor and her active legal practice, Tawnya is a Certified Merger & Acquisition Professional (CM&AP), Master Certified Business Intermediary (MCBI), and Certified Exit Planner (CExP) who helps her clients achieve optimal results.
Tawnya is licensed by the California Department of Real Estate as a Broker and Broker Associate with eXp Commercial of California, Inc., #01313195, and as a Designated Officer for Whizdom Group, Inc. #01403121. She is licensed by the State Bar of California, #304746.
