About Lawrence
A career built inside the firms I now help you buy and sell.
I began as an auditor with Baker Tilly and LTC LLP, examining listed and private companies across Singapore, Malaysia, China and the wider region. In 2012 I joined a Singapore corporate service provider, went on to serve as its Chief Technology Officer, and in 2020 sold my stake to a strategic investor.
Since then I've worked as an independent strategic investor and business broker — evaluating ventures, advising owners, and helping the right practices change hands. That means when we talk about your firm, I understand it from the inside.

A discreet, straight-talking process
Completely confidential
Your firm is never advertised openly. Buyers are qualified before they learn who you are, and you decide when clients and staff are told.
Valued on what matters
With a background in auditing and due diligence, I value a practice on recurring revenue, retention and transferability — not a blunt multiple of turnover.
A regional network
Access to qualified buyers across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and Indonesia — a wider field that protects your price and your terms.

Frequently asked questions
What does a business consultant and broker actually do?
I help owners of accounting, tax, secretarial and corporate-services firms buy, sell and value their practices, and I advise investors looking to acquire them. That runs from valuing a firm and preparing it for sale, through reaching qualified buyers discreetly, to negotiating and completing the deal.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. Every conversation is private and carries no obligation. Nothing is listed publicly and nothing about your firm is disclosed without your agreement.
Which regions do you cover?
I work with clients and buyers across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and Indonesia, which widens the pool of qualified buyers and helps protect your valuation.
How do I get started?
Send a short, confidential enquiry through the form on this site. I will reply personally to arrange a no-obligation conversation about your situation and options.
