The WBI Group LLC | An Independent Dugan & Lopatka Company

Intermediary Services

Wheaton Business Intermediary Group (The WBI Group, LLC) was established as a result of client requests for better representation in the buying and selling of their businesses. Our clients have trusted us since 1974 to help them understand the financial and tax issues they face. It was only natural, then, when our clients face one of the largest financial and tax situations, that they would want Dugan & Lopatka intimately involved. The sale or acquisition of a business is a complex transaction. Our clients needed help in three areas: the due diligence work, tax planning and locating buyers and sellers for them. The WBI Group was created for these primary roles.
