Crossroads Advisers
Serving Cuyahoga County, OH
Growing up in an entrepreneurial business founded by his father in 1964, Christopher went from sweeping floors to becoming President & General Manager of Lakefront Lines/Coach USA. Working alongside his father and five siblings, he helped grow our business into a $38.9 million enterprise. Managing the family business through a generational transition, privately-equity ownership, and then to a publicly-traded company, Christopher learned firsthand the challenges of scaling, operating, and exiting a successful business enterprise – and has a passion for sharing the wisdom he has gained in a lifelong career as a visionary and performance-driven executive. In 2016, Christopher founded Crossroads Advisers with a mission: to share lessons learned of the business transition and succession/exiting with other business owners from a Business Owner’s Perspective.

Buy or Sell a Service Business
Service businesses are some of the most commonly listed for sale on BizBuySell, and include a wide range of people and process driven companies that sell expertise or labor rather than physical products. Common businesses are home and commercial services (cleaning, inspections, renovation, HVAC, automotive services), business services (marketing, signage, printing, brokerage, coworking), route based and asset light operations (parking management, entertainment routes), and franchised service brands. These businesses typically operate on contract , project , or recurring service models, generating revenue through service fees, ongoing maintenance agreements, route accounts, memberships, or territory based franchises, often with relatively low inventory requirements and scalable staffing.
