Our Personalized Approach
We help you evaluate your business and package it up so it’s enticing to prospective buyers who are looking to buy a business —- just like yours! We offer personalized advice from a licensed business broker who knows what elements of your business to highlight and emphasize in order to get top dollar for all your years of hard work.

How We Work With You
We start with a phone call to get to know each other. We know what buyers want to know so we’ll help you refine your answers and get your financials in order. We’ll work with you to fill out a questionnaire than package your business so we can advertise and market it to our lists of interested prospective buyers. We’ll guide you through the buying process and hold weekly Zoom meetings with you and various prospects all along the way. We will “be in the room” with you throughout the evaluation portion of the sale.
Ad Agencies Only
We primarily help to sell digital agencies, that is our specialty. We don’t sell liquor stores or dental practices —- just advertising and digital marketing agencies. Why? It’s our niche, and Fleur De Lis Founder Gene R. Sower walked in your very shoes having built a successful digital agency over 16 years and then sold it for a substantial payout. We know the advertising agency space — website development, WordPress, SEO, social media, email marketing, banner ads, print ads, landing pages, PPC and lead magnets are the languages we speak. Let us guide you and advise you throughout the processs to ensure a maximum sales price.

What is the Cost?
There is no cost working with me. Why? Because I get paid by the licensed business broker. Why not work directly with a broker:? You can, but my experience in running a digital agency for more than 16 years and then selling it for a successful payout makes me uniquely qualified to pre-qualify you! Once we talk and you are able to explain your goals and timeline, I will put you in direct contect with our licensed and professional business broker that helped me first hand sell my agency. The broker’s fee averages an industry average of 10% of the sales price, paid at closing.
About
What Is Fleur De Lis?
Fleur De Lis is French for Flower of the Lily — which is the URL of this site and the icon to the side here———> We chose FloweroftheLily.com because the English translation is easier to say and communicate instead of people constantly asking, “Floor de what?” But seriously, why Fleur De Lis? As founder Gene Sower explains, “It really stems from my love of the city of New Orleans — the music the food, the culture — and my many enjoyable visits and trips there. The popular flower-like icon is recognized the world over as a symbol of the city of New Orleans. So I named the business after something else I loved since my first business was already named after my son, Samson.” Click below to learn more about Founder Gene R. Sower and the journey of the marketing agency he sold.
