Feature Story Lowenberg Consulting

Gain Control of Your Time, Team, and Money with Lowenberg Consulting

There comes a time when every business owner is ready to move on. This could be to a new venture or to retirement, but first, they’ll need the help of Nancy Mills. Nancy helps businesses sell; however, she doesn’t actually sell businesses.

Nancy is a business growth expert and the Business Prosperity Coach for Lowenberg Consulting. Working out of the Houston, Texas metro area, Nancy employs her two decades of global business experience to help small and mid-sized business owners make their businesses more profitable, and appealing to investments.

Studies have shown that less than thirty percent of businesses listed for sale actually end up selling. However, there are many buyers looking for good businesses! The problem is that most businesses are not sellable in their current state. But with some time and attention, they can vastly improve. Lowenberg Consulting helps its clients beat the odds, but not by selling companies themselves. They focus on assisting and educating business owners on making their business prosper, as well as planning their exit strategy, and preserving and growing their wealth.

With over 30 years of experience in this niche category of business consulting, Lowenberg stands out among its competitors for focusing on more than just the exit period. With their family-owned-business specialization, Lowenberg assists owners in philanthropic legacy planning; making a lasting difference at their company and preserving its culture and employees all the while meeting their long-term financial needs.

Nancy offers business owners a complimentary coaching session to help determine crucial areas of focus to increase their company value.

Since joining the Lowenberg team two years ago, Nancy’s days are filled with networking with potential clients and working with business owners to build businesses that fulfill their dreams. Ideal clients are those who strive to make a positive impact in the world, not just those focused on their personal wealth. Her favorite part is seeing her clients reignite the enthusiasm that they had when they started their business.

Looking to the future, Lowenberg Consulting is expanding in size and scope. It is extending its services to work with smaller companies and help them grow to the optimal size for the best exit options.

Lowenberg has also created a new parent company, Masterpiece Capital, which offers advanced wealth management planning for businesses and high net worth families. They do this by custom tailoring a plan unique to their clients’ needs which can include reducing tax burdens, maximizing market value, and retaining key employees.
