How I Help Business Owners…
As a Business Intermediary and CFO I help business owners do four things:
- Sell their business or buy a business
- Track revenue, and increase profit and cash flow.
- Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their business from the financial perspective.
- Propose corrective action to business owners.
Even big businesses (e.g. Coca-Cola) traditionally work with Business Intermediaries and CFOs. And all businesses – regardless of size – need us.
This is why I exist. I set out to create the #1 network of highly vetted business professionals.

What I Can Help You With
Mergers & Acquisitions
Selling a business with earnings greater than one million dollars is complex. These large transactions require a broker experienced in mergers and acquisitions.

You’ve worked hard to build your small to mid-sized business. Now you’re ready to move on. An experienced business broker can help you get the highest price.
Buy a Business
Buying an existing business or a proven franchise can be easier than starting a new business from scratch. Whatever you’re looking for, We’ll help you find the right opportunity.
Free Valuation

My Approach to Helping Businesses Increase Their Profits and Cash Flow
In consulting with you and your business, my initial analysis always is the same. I look critically at the three major functions of your business – Marketing, Production, and Accounting.
- Marketing: the function of your business that brings customers to your door and culminates in some sort of sale.
- Production: the function of your business that deals with customers from the time of the first sale through the entire life of the relationship with that customer.
- Accounting: the function of business that gathers data and information from all the different aspects of the business.
I then analyze how each of these functions is working separately. More importantly, I then evaluate how they work together and make each increase profit and cash flow or the need to sell your business.
I use a simple model which defines my understanding of how to look at your business objectively. I refer to it as the Universal Business Model which gives me the ability to provide a Valuation of your business.
Expand Your Sales, Marketing, & Networking Reach
Great customers do not just appear; they are made! Look at it this way: You have an amazing product or service that people are willing to pay for, and it has a great profit marging. Would you stop telling people about it ?
Marketing in your company informs customers about your product or service, and brings them through the door. The following nine principles can make your business more profitable:
Principle #1: Nothing happens until you make a sale!
Principle #2: A deal is only good when it is good for both parties.
Principle #3: Grow your business geometrically!
Principle #4: Pour on the Communication
Principle #5: Improve your internal processes
Principle #6: Take what you have and make it better.
Principle #7: Cash flow, cash flow, cash flow!
Principle #8: Know your business
Principle #9: Plan for tomorrow
Have an Active Vision, Strategy, & Roadmap to Reach Your Goals
Having an active vision, strategy, and roadmap to reach your goals also means sometimes looking beyond the company and maybe even beyond the immediate business that you are in. It involves trying to understand how your company may fit into a different market or a different segment of the same market. It can open doors to expand the business. Or it may lead you to the realization that you have to change your business completely, to start over, and transition into an entirely new business. Isn’t it time to get started today?
Scale & Maintain Healthy Operations & Culture
Operations are the foundation and the heart and soul of your business. When setup correctly, operations keep your business running smoothly and allow you to focus on strategies and finances, instead of the day-to-day operations.
A solid operational plan creates consistency in your business and this allows ordinary people to create extraordinary results.
Though you may not open several businesses, you need to set your business up as if you are planning to franchise it. The more systematic you are in your approach to operations, the easier it is to train your employees and replicate the experience. Take action now and start doing extraorinary things with your company starting today?
