Why Light3

Comprehensive Buyer Mapping

The Light3 Intelligence Engine identifies strategic and financial buyers with real acquisition capacity, including off-market names a standard search would miss. We assess synergy potential, acquisition appetite, and timeline before the first call is made.

Senior-Led Execution

Every negotiation is led by a senior partner. No handoffs, no junior staffers running your process. You work directly with the people making the decisions and managing the outcome.

Competitive Tension by Design

We build competitive dynamics that drive valuation. One interested buyer is not a process. Genuine competition at the table is what produces better terms and higher certainty of close.

A Full Spectrum of M&A Advisory

Sell-Side Advisory

Full management of the sale process for founder-led and PE-backed businesses. Positioning, buyer identification, negotiation, and close. One team, one objective: the best achievable result.

Buy-Side Advisory

Strategic counsel for acquirers looking to identify, evaluate, and close on high-quality targets. Our relationships surface opportunities that a standard search process would not find.

Corporate Divestitures

Managed separations that capture full value from non-core assets without disrupting the parent company. We handle the operational and financial complexity of the carve-out so leadership can stay focused.

Cross-Border M&A

Decades of experience across jurisdictions and regulatory environments. We manage the legal, financial, and cultural complexity so cross-border transactions close cleanly.
