Meet Dorly
A little about me.
I’m Dorly Bouguignon. My wife, daughter, and I call Miami home, and I’m looking for a business I can commit to for the long run. I’ve spent my career working alongside teams, building things, and figuring out how to make them work better. Now I want to bring that experience to a business of my own, learn from the people who built it, and help carry it forward.

For business owners
You’ve put a lot into this.
That matters to me.
Selling a business is a personal decision. My first priority is to understand what makes yours work, what matters to you, and what a good transition would look like.
You don’t need to have decided to sell before we talk.
Common questions
What happens to my long-tenured employees?
My goal is to support the people who know the business and preserve the customer relationships they’ve built. I’ll take time to learn before making thoughtful improvements.
Who will run the business after closing?
You’ll work with me throughout the process, and I intend to be the person running the business after closing. You’ll have the chance to know who is taking over.
How would we plan the transition?
We’ll talk openly about your responsibilities, your timeline, and the support the team needs. The plan should reflect the business and what you want your next chapter to look like.
How would you finance the purchase?
I expect to invest my own capital alongside bank financing, with outside investment considered when needed. Seller financing may also be part of an agreed structure. I’ll be clear about the funding plan and any financing conditions as we discuss terms.
The process
It starts with
a conversation.
I’ll communicate directly, be clear about what I need, and keep you informed as we work through each step.
01 / CONNECT
Get to know each other
A brief call to hear about your business, your goals, and whether there could be a fit. Early conversations are welcome.
02 / UNDERSTAND
Review the business
We can sign an NDA before sharing sensitive information. I’ll review the business and ask focused questions.
03 / ALIGN
Discuss proposed terms
We’ll work toward agreement on price, structure, and timing, then put the proposed terms in a letter of intent.
04 / TRANSITION
Work toward closing
Complete diligence, arrange financing, and plan the handover together so the team is prepared for the transition.
Timing depends on the business, information availability, financing, and the transition we agree on. We’ll discuss expectations early.
For brokers & advisors
Have a business in mind?
I welcome introductions to owners whose businesses fit this focus. You can expect direct communication, clear feedback, and respect for agreed fee arrangements. Let’s agree on your role and any applicable fee arrangement upfront.
Get in touch
Let’s talk about
what comes next.
Tell me a little about your business and what you’re thinking. There’s no need to have it all figured out.
