Meet Our Team
The name Liminal means occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold. We strive to be a guide through transitional processes to help provide a graceful change of ownership or exit from a business. What makes us different — is the ease of our approach. We listen attentively, coordinate efficiently and plan succinctly. Our obligation is to you personally, and our goal is to create a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.
