I help privately held business owners prepare for a future sale, navigate business brokerage and commercial real estate transactions, and put AI to practical use.

You don't have to be ready to sell to start preparing. I work with owners on financial organization, operations, processes, documentation, branding, business systems, and reducing owner dependence. I also help businesses evaluate and implement practical AI and automation.

My background includes 7.5 years leading M&A operations, including six years as COO of a regional M&A firm, along with business ownership and 1,000+ hours of hands-on AI/no-code development.

Business preparation and AI consulting are offered through Michael Garsow LLC. Licensed business brokerage and commercial real estate services are provided separately through eXp Commercial, Business Brokerage Division.

After owning and operating a service business, I spent six years running the day-to-day operations of a regional M&A firm.

That experience showed me how much financial organization, documentation, operating systems, and owner independence matter long before a business reaches the market.

Today, I combine that brokerage and operating background with hands-on AI development to help owners improve their businesses, prepare for future ownership transitions, and make better use of technology.
