Earlier professional service
Maryland State Police
Before his work in business and research, Jhohan served as a Maryland State Trooper. His earlier career also included work in the Virginia correctional system.
Law enforcement and corrections require adherence to procedures, documentation, situational assessment, and accountability. These are relevant disciplines, although they are distinct from experience acquiring or operating businesses.

For business owners
You built the business. Your next chapter matters.
Selling a business is more than a financial decision. It can mean deciding what happens to years of work, trusted employees, and the customers who know your name.
A message to business owners
Your business is more than a number.
You may have spent decades building it. Early mornings, long days, personal sacrifices, and difficult decisions helped make it what it is today. We understand that a possible sale raises questions about more than price.
What happens to your people? Will customers continue to be served well? What role, if any, would you want after a transition? These are important conversations, and they deserve time and respect.
Northlight Legacy is seeking its first acquisition. We approach each opportunity individually and aim to have clear, confidential discussions about what matters to you. No outcome is promised before an agreement is reached.

Questions worth discussing.
Every business and owner has different priorities. An initial conversation can cover financial performance, management continuity, valuation expectations, and the owner's desired involvement after a transaction.
Make an enquiry →Will my enquiry be confidential?
We intend to handle initial enquiries confidentially. Any formal confidentiality commitments should be documented in an appropriate agreement.
Is seller financing required?
No single transaction structure is specified. Financing and payment terms would be discussed for each opportunity.
Would employees and the business name remain?
Staffing, branding, and management continuity would be evaluated and agreed as part of a potential transaction. We cannot promise a particular outcome in advance.
Do you have a minimum EBITDA?
We do not publish a fixed EBITDA threshold. Financial performance is one of several factors considered.
Seller preparation checklist
Use this list to prepare for an initial discussion and later due diligence. You do not need to complete every item before contacting us.
Buyer due-diligence checklist
A high-level overview of areas to investigate before entering a transaction. This is not a substitute for professional financial, legal, tax, or operational diligence.
Important: The checklists are informational. Each transaction requires its own review, and professional legal, tax, and accounting advice may be appropriate.
