About Beneath the Palms
Your business is not too small to sell.
And it’s never too early to build with the end in mind.
I’m Paige Lorraine—former small business owner, now exit strategist, course creator, and Hawaii-based entrepreneur behind Beneath the Palms.
A few years ago, I was running a brick-and-mortar gear shop I had built from the ground up. I wore every hat, made every decision, and like most business owners, I didn’t think much about the end. But when burnout crept in, I realized: if I ever wanted to step away, I needed a business that could run without me.
So I got serious. I created systems, cleaned up my operations, and eventually sold my business—successfully and on my own terms.
Now, I help other small business owners do the same.
What I Believe
Your business is not too small to sell.
You deserve options—even if you’re not ready to exit yet.
Legacy is built through systems, structure, and intention—not just scale.
Beneath the Palms exists to empower everyday entrepreneurs to run their business like they could sell it one day… whether they ever do or not.
