The firm

The best time to sell a business is when you don't need to.

GLOBO Advisors helps owners of privately held and family businesses build a company that supports their life goals and can run without them. Get there, and selling becomes a choice rather than a necessity. So does staying.

That's the work we thrive on: growing what the business is worth while loosening how much it leans on you, so that whatever comes next, a sale, retirement, or handing it to the next generation, you meet it from a position of strength.

01

We start with the person, not the P&L

Before we look at the company, we get clear on what you want out of owning it. Everything after that is built to serve the answer, not the other way around.

02

We take the whole decision, not just the math

Value, cash flow, and structure matter. So do identity, family, and timing. Owners carry all of it at once, so we do too.

03

We reduce how much rides on you

The less a business leans on the owner's daily presence, the more it's worth and the freer its owner becomes. We treat that as the point, not a happy accident.

04

We meet you where you are

Come to us for one focused project, the full Program, or a workshop. You don't have to commit to everything to start.

The name

More than a name. It's the whole idea:

The founder

The advisor who starts with you, not your balance sheet.

For more than 25 years, Ronen Shefer has helped business owners do the thing almost no one helps with: connect the business they built to the life they actually want.

Most advisory work stops at the transaction: the valuation, the structure, the deal. The real work, the part that determines whether an owner ends up fulfilled or full of regret, lives on the other side of the brain. The fear. The identity. The family. The question of what comes next.

That conviction became a book, a method, and the practice now known as GLOBO Advisors. The problems owners face are remarkably similar from one business to the next. The circumstances never are, which is exactly why this work takes someone who can navigate both the numbers and the human beings behind them.
