I'm Lanisha Bodley, and I started Pembrook Ventures because I believe in investing in the communities I call home — right here in Middle Tennessee.
I'm looking to acquire established businesses from owners who are ready for their next chapter — whether that's retirement, a new venture, or simply time to step back.
You built something real. I want to honor that — continuing your legacy, keeping your customers served, and making sure your years of hard work are reflected in the sale.
Let's Have a Conversation →"I'm not a broker, a flipper, or a faceless corporation. I'm a local investor who wants to buy a great Middle Tennessee business — and do it the right, respectful way."
Four easy steps from first call to closed deal — entirely on your schedule, at your pace.
Pick a time that works for you. A relaxed 20-minute conversation — no commitment, no broker fees. Just a chance to get acquainted.
Tell me about your business — how long you've run it, what you love, and what you're hoping for. I always listen first.
I'll review your numbers and come back with a clear, written offer. No lowballing, no surprises. You stay in complete control.
We agree on a timeline that fits your life. I handle the details and keep everything smooth from handshake to closing day.
We're not a big fund or an out-of-state buyer. Here's what you can count on from us.
No brokers, no middlemen. You deal directly with me — faster decisions and no commission cutting into your sale price.
Your employees, customers, and competitors never need to know we spoke. Everything stays private until you're ready.
I live in Clarksville and invest throughout Middle Tennessee. I know these communities and I'm here for the long haul.
My financing is already in place. When we agree, I can move quickly — no months of uncertainty waiting on bank approvals.
Close in 60 days or transition over 12 months — we work around your life and your plans, not a rigid corporate schedule.
You built this. I plan to honor that — keeping your customers served, your team employed, and your community investment alive.

These are the questions we hear most often. No question is too small — reach out anytime.
Absolutely not. The call is 100% free with zero obligation. We're just getting to know each other. You decide everything from there — no pressure, ever.
No. Confidentiality is something I take very seriously. Nothing we discuss leaves our conversation unless you decide to move forward — and even then, we control the disclosure process together.
Right now I'm focused on laundromats, coin laundries, residential cleaning companies, pool service routes, lawn care, and other recurring home services businesses across Middle Tennessee. Established businesses with loyal customers are ideal — but I'm genuinely open to all situations.
Yes, please! I'm not looking for a flawless business — I'm looking for a real one with good bones. Older equipment, mixed reviews, or slow seasons don't scare me. Let's talk and figure it out together.
From first conversation to closing typically takes 90–120 days, though we can go faster or slower depending on what works best for you. There's no rush — we always work on your timeline.
My intention is always to keep the team in place. They know the business, the customers, and the community. Retaining good people is a genuine priority for me — it makes the transition better for everyone.
Not at all — I'm actively looking across all of Middle Tennessee, including Nashville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Hendersonville, Brentwood, and surrounding communities. If you're in the region, I'd love to connect.
Pick any open time on my calendar. It's free, it's confidential, and there's absolutely no pressure. I'd genuinely love to hear about what you've built.
