I have nothing but respect and admiration for Lakeside Acquisitions whose guidance, expertise and market knowledge helped our family owned and operated business engineer one of the highest acquisition multiples to a publicly traded waste industry major in 2024. It was an amazing journey and one I will always cherish. The result was generational wealth for our family and heirs. Matt, Joe, and Kelsey are brilliant entrepreneurs. Highly impressive. It played out exactly as they said and actually exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you again for all that you have done for us!

We had the pleasure of working with Matt, Joe and Kelsey from Lakeside Acquisitions on the sale of our company in 2024. Our experience with the Lakeside team was exceptional and they met and/or exceeded all of our goals and objectives. With any sale or acquisition of a company you will run into challenges and this is where Lakeside excelled at offering professional and experienced advice due to their backgrounds and hands on experience. One of the reasons we chose Lakeside was their principals had varying backgrounds including legal, operational and accounting.

We recommend Lakeside with the highest confidence whether you are selling your company or looking to acquire a company to assist in your company’s growth.

I recently worked with Lakeside Acquisitions for the sale of my waste hauling company, and I must say, the experience was remarkably smooth and professional. From start to finish, Matt, Kelsey, and Joe demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism that made all the difference.

Lakeside Acquisitions addressed every issue and concern that came up promptly and efficiently, ensuring that the process was as seamless as possible. What stood out most was working with professionals who specialize in this work; their vast experience allowed them to draw from a wealth of knowledge to navigate through any situation that arose. Their deep understanding of the waste management industry was evident, which gave me full confidence throughout the transaction.

I highly recommend Lakeside Acquisitions to anyone looking to sell or buy a business in the waste industry. If you’re considering selling your waste business, you should definitely talk with them. Their team not only knows the industry inside out but also handles everything with the utmost discipline. I have complete confidence in them and look forward to seeing them help others like me navigate this process with the same ease and assurance!

Thank you, Lakeside Acquisitions, for making what could have been a stressful process enjoyable and straightforward!

Both my partner and I decided to sell our business of 7 years, and we had no idea how to even generate interest outside of the groups who showed interest over the years. When that fell through, we were not sure how to proceed as this was the first company we tried to sell.

It was a strange coincidence when I received a postcard mailer in the mail from Lakeside Acquisitions; these usually always end up going into the garbage can.  For some reason, I decided to reach out to them even though the minimum they would entertain was a $5 Million Sale. We were not that big.

When I called I received a Voicemail and I fully did not expect a call back. Within 24 hours I was proven wrong. Matt Brunstrum returned my call. What followed would be a very detailed and effective plan on what they would do to assist us in selling our company.

From the initial business valuation to navigating the stressful due diligence phase, Matt and his team of Joe and Kelsey managed every detail with absolute professionalism and integrity. Lakeside truly listened to our goals/expectations—not just regarding the final sale price and terms, but in finding the right buyer to take over our legacy.

I believe that their deep market knowledge in the waste industry and relentless communication ultimately led to a successful close. Both my partner and I highly recommend Lakeside Acquisitions to any business owner looking to maximize their exit.
