About Carolina Investment Brokers
Carolina Investment Brokers helps business owners navigate successful ownership transitions through disciplined advisory and transaction execution services.
Founded in 2002 by Howard Molton, the firm has supported hundreds of business sales, acquisitions, and ownership transitions across North and South Carolina. Our work spans valuation, deal structuring, and end-to-end transaction coordination through contract, due diligence, and closing.
In addition to brokerage and advisory services, we emphasize transaction execution and deal management, including coordination with lenders, attorneys, and title professionals. Our experience includes contract review, deadline and milestone tracking, due diligence coordination, issue resolution, and clear communication to support timely, compliant closings.
We work with businesses of all sizes, from owner-operated companies to established enterprises, applying the same disciplined approach to documentation, compliance, and execution in every engagement. Our founder’s background as a small business owner informs a practical, detail-oriented approach focused on accuracy, accountability, and results.
If you’re ready to partner with a firm that combines strategic insight with hands-on transaction execution, we invite you to contact us today to get started.
