The best businesses and projects emerge when builders can focus on what matters: serving customers, building community, creating value. We provide the legal, permitting, and capital expertise typically reserved for institutional investors and select family offices.
"The more people who own little businesses of their own, the safer our country will be, and the better off its cities and towns; for the people who have a stake in their country and their community are its best citizens." - John Hancock
I spent years at big law firms and with family offices doing sophisticated deals that had armies of advisors, unlimited resources, and complex structures. An unexpected cancer diagnosis forced me to reassess everything. I left to build businesses and projects that I actually cared about in my own community.
Despite what I thought I knew from large institutional deals, launching and running businesses was harder and more exhausting than I expected. I watched better ideas than mine struggle and fail. Not because they lacked vision or quality, but because the infrastructure challenges crushed the passion and commitment that should fuel growth.
The cost of admission shouldn't be becoming an expert in entity structures, permitting timelines, and capital formation. It should be passion, commitment, and relentless focus on serving your customers and community.
LYL Capital exists to bring the expertise typically reserved for institutional investors and large funds to builders serving their communities. We provide sophisticated deal structures, permitting knowledge, and capital strategy. The people with the best ideas deserve the same infrastructure support as the most well-capitalized firms.
If you're committed and the idea serves your community, we'll help you build it.
