Orange, California

RLC Business Brokers is a boutique M&A firm based in Orange County, CA, focused on the sale of small and lower middle market businesses across a range of industries. We specialize in helping service-based and cash-flowing main street businesses prepare for and successfully navigate the sale process.

Founder Rebecca Chatham has personally built and sold multiple companies, including a document shredding business, a commercial cleaning operation, and a landscape construction company. Prior to launching RLC, she held a management role with Allstate Insurance, where she supported independent agency owners in buying, selling, merging, and financing their businesses. With firsthand experience on both sides of the table, she brings a uniquely empathetic, strategic, and results-driven approach to each transaction.

At RLC, we believe that even small businesses deserve expert representation. We offer a modern, transparent brokerage experience built on trust, hustle, and clear communication. We understand that many owners don’t have perfect books and we specialize in uncovering and presenting the real value behind years of hard work.

We take on a limited number of listings to give each one the attention it deserves. Whether you're looking to retire, relocate, or explore your business’s worth for the first time, RLC is your trusted partner in building a clear, profitable exit strategy.

I specialize in helping owners of profitable, service-based businesses — like insurance agencies, specialty trades, auto repair shops, and medspas — exit confidently and capitalize on what they’ve built. Most of the businesses I work with are generating $100K+ in profit and sell between $200K and $2M.

RLC offers fast turnaround times and clear, responsive communication throughout the entire process. We actively maintain a growing network of qualified buyers allowing us to connect sellers with serious interest quickly. Whether your business is local or remote, blue-collar or woman-owned, our focus is on helping owners exit cleanly, confidently, and profitably.
About

I’m a business broker who’s been in the seller’s seat a few times. Over the last decade, I’ve built and sold multiple service businesses from the ground up and worked in management at Allstate, where I supported agency owners through mergers, acquisitions, and growth transitions.

That experience shaped my approach: every business owner deserves a clean, confident exit, even if their books aren’t perfect or their business isn’t flashy. I specialize in selling profitable, service-based companies like insurance agencies, auto repair shops, med spas, cleaning businesses, and specialty trades. Most of the businesses I represent sell in the $200K–$2M range.

At RLC, we bring a modern, no-fluff brokerage experience to everyday entrepreneurs. I keep the listing process simple, the communication transparent, and the focus on connecting well-positioned sellers with serious, ready buyers. Whether you're preparing to exit this year or just starting to explore your options, I’d love to help you navigate it with clarity and confidence.
