What We Do

Services

A focused set of services for business owners at a crossroads — and the advisors who serve them.

Strategic Partnership

Tax Mitigation & High-End Asset Protection

Most business owners don't realize how much of their exit proceeds they can legally keep. Through advanced IRS-compliant strategies, our partners help owners reduce — not just defer — capital gains tax at exit. In some cases, owners have received significant IRS refunds on taxes already paid.

  • Goes far beyond 1031 exchanges — actual reduction, not deferral
  • IRS refund potential on taxes already paid
  • High-end asset protection strategies
  • Best results when engaged before the transaction closes
  • Available to qualified business owners and real estate investors
🏢

Business Sales & Acquisitions

Representing owners and buyers through confidential, professionally managed transactions. We work with established businesses across industries.

CRE Referral Partnerships

About Doug

A Different Kind of Intermediary

Doug brings a relationship-first approach to business transitions. Before a transaction ever begins, the work is in earning trust — with owners, with advisors, and with buyers.

With offices in Greenville, SC, Calabasas, CA, and Athens, GA, The Arch Corporation works with owners and buyers across the country. Every engagement is handled with discretion, patience, and a long-term perspective.

Doug's background in working with both commercial real estate professionals and business owners gives him a unique vantage point — understanding not just the business, but the full picture of what a transition means for a client's life and legacy.

For CRE Professionals

Let's Build Something Useful Together

Commercial real estate and business transitions are deeply connected. When your clients are thinking about their businesses, we can help — and we'll keep you in the loop every step of the way.

Early Introductions

We want to meet your clients before they've made decisions, not after. The earlier we're involved, the more we can help — and the more likely real estate is part of the outcome.

Clean Handoffs

We handle the business side completely. When real estate decisions arise — sale-leaseback, relocation, disposition — we hand back to you. No overlap, no awkwardness.

No Strings

This is a referral relationship built on trust, not paperwork. We don't need exclusivity agreements to work together. We just need mutual respect and a shared commitment to the client.
