About My Expertise and Services
With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience, I have built, operated, and successfully sold 14 businesses across the United States, spanning industries such as construction, convenience stores, manufacturing, professional services, real estate, restaurants, retail, and service-based companies. These ventures were created and nurtured with a hands-on approach, and I guided them to profitable exits. Beyond my own businesses, I have represented many business owners and buyers, offering expert advice and seamless navigation through the complexities of buying and selling businesses. My comprehensive approach ensures the best outcomes for my clients, whether they’re exiting their businesses or entering new ventures.
How I Can Help Sellers
If you’re ready to sell your business, I provide complete support from start to finish. This includes an accurate valuation of your business to determine its true worth, creating a compelling listing, and implementing strategic marketing to attract qualified buyers. I structure deals to ensure the best possible terms and prepare all necessary closing documents. I also work alongside trusted closing attorneys to guide the transaction to completion, making the process smooth and stress-free.
How I Can Help Buyers
If you’re looking to buy a business, I help you find the right opportunity that aligns with your goals and vision. I guide you through financing options such as SBA loans and owner financing, and I ensure a seamless transition into ownership. From identifying a profitable business to negotiating deals and closing the transaction, I provide step-by-step support to set you up for success and help you confidently take over your new venture.
Consulting Experience Across Industries
Churches
I have developed and implemented marketing programs to attract more attendees, streamlined HR processes between pastors and committees for smooth transitions, and created building maintenance programs. Additionally, I established comprehensive HR systems to support staff and ensure effective church operations.
Construction
I have worked with construction businesses across various trades, providing guidance on bidding processes, employee and subcontractor contracts, compliance with state and federal regulations, inventory control, job profitability, and cash flow management. My expertise also includes marketing programs tailored to construction companies and implementing receivables systems to improve financial stability.
Industrial & Mechanical Businesses
For industrial and mechanical companies, I’ve developed inventory programs to track auto parts and materials efficiently, often integrating flooring options into the system to improve financial outcomes. I have also implemented QuickBooks to streamline accounting and HR systems and designed marketing programs focusing on referral networks and radio campaigns.
Medical Offices
I’ve assisted medical offices with HIPAA compliance, inventory management for pharmacies and medical supplies, and implementing medical billing software. I’ve also negotiated leases, set up QuickBooks for accounting, and created scheduling systems to enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, I’ve introduced rebate programs to improve accounts receivable processes.
Professional Offices
I have implemented disaster planning, evacuation, and fire policies alongside time-tracking systems for employees. My work includes creating promotion policies, negotiating favorable lease and loan terms, and establishing cash flow strategies through collections policies and valuation planning for retirement and transitions.
Restaurants
I’ve supported restaurants by developing compliance programs for food safety, sexual harassment policies, OSHA standards, and HR systems. Additionally, I implemented inventory programs for food and alcohol to prevent loss and designed localized marketing campaigns targeting customers within a two-mile radius to drive business growth.
Retail
Retail businesses have benefited from my expertise in inventory control systems, HR programs, and niche marketing strategies. For example, I’ve designed personalized marketing campaigns such as direct mailers and email outreach tailored to specific demographics, including baby apparel stores and hair salons.
