Business acquisition advisory firm responds to growing post-close challenges faced by first-time owners
Contributor Nathan Vaughn, The NXC
GARLAND, TX, UNITED STATES, January 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — BizBuyPro announced an expansion of its advisory services designed to help new business owners succeed well beyond the closing table. The business acquisition advisory firm, founded by veteran entrepreneur Paul Lajoie, now provides comprehensive post-acquisition support to address operational, legal, and financial challenges that emerge during the critical first year of ownership.
The expanded approach responds to a persistent gap in the acquisition process: buyers receive extensive guidance securing deals, but limited support once ownership begins. According to the firm, this gap frequently leads to operational missteps, compliance issues, and avoidable financial strain for first-time owners.
“Closing the deal is not the finish line—it’s the handoff,” said Lajoie. “We kept seeing capable buyers struggle after acquisition, not because they bought the wrong business, but because they weren’t properly set up to own it.”
Traditional brokerage models typically end involvement once a deal closes. BizBuyPro’s expanded support model extends advisory guidance into the post-acquisition phase, where many new owners face their highest operational and financial risk.
The enhanced service model supports clients across the full lifecycle of ownership, including pre-acquisition financial analysis and risk assessment, due diligence and deal structuring, transition planning prior to closing, and post-close setup involving legal structure, tax considerations, insurance, contracts, and compliance. The approach aims to reduce early ownership errors that can undermine even well-negotiated acquisitions.
The expansion addresses growing market demand as more W-2 professionals and first-time buyers pursue business ownership as an alternative to corporate careers. While many bring strong professional backgrounds, few have experience navigating the operational, legal, and financial realities of running an acquired business.
“Most first-time buyers underestimate how many decisions hit them immediately after closing,” Lajoie explained. “Entity structure, tax compliance, employment classifications, insurance—these aren’t optional details. Getting them wrong can be costly.”
By integrating post-close advisory services into its core offering, BizBuyPro aims to help clients transition from buyer to owner with clarity and confidence. The expanded support model reinforces the firm’s founding philosophy of acting as a long-term partner rather than a transaction-focused intermediary.
The firm continues working with clients after closing to help them stabilize operations, identify early risks, and lay groundwork for sustainable ownership. This ongoing involvement allows BizBuyPro to identify issues before they become expensive or disruptive.
“Our goal isn’t just to help someone buy a business,” said Lajoie. “It’s to help them own it successfully.”
