How I can help
Three simple ways I can help. Each one starts with real research, not a guess.

Want to buy a business? I find good ones for sale, check them out, and help you buy without overpaying or getting burned.

Want to sell your business? I tell you what it's really worth, find a serious buyer, and handle the whole deal with you.

A few jobs I've done. The question someone had, and how I helped them answer it. Names left out.
The question: A buyer wanted to know if it was too late to get into padel.
The work: I mapped every court against how many people live nearby, and showed where there was still room to grow.
The question: A growing sandwich shop wasn't sure whether to move or stay put.
The work: I looked at foot traffic, nearby competition and rent for both spots, so they could choose with facts.
The question: The owner of an aluminum factory wanted to know its value and who might buy it.
The work: I worked out what it was worth and lined up the kind of buyers who'd actually want it.
