Buying a business is a big bet. Most of the risk is decided before you sign.

Sellers, brokers and franchisors all have a reason to get the deal done. That is their job. Your job is to understand the numbers, the risks and the questions nobody is raising. That is where I come in.

I work for the buyer

I am not paid by the seller, the broker or the brand. My only job is to help you make a clear decision.

Plain, practical advice

No jargon and no sales pitch. You get straight answers, even when they are not what you want to hear.

Common myths, busted

Myth: "If the franchise has a proven system, the numbers will work for me."
A system is not a guarantee. Your rent, your location, your staffing and your financing decide your numbers.
Myth: "I will figure out the breakeven once I am running it."
Know your breakeven before you sign. If you cannot say how much you need to sell each month to cover costs, you are not ready.
Myth: "The seller's advisor will look out for me too."
They work for the seller. You deserve someone in your corner.

What clients said

"I highly recommend Dave for his professionalism, expertise, and thoughtful guidance. He helped me evaluate a potential business partnership in a healthcare clinic, understand the financial implications and risks involved, and identify important questions to consider before making a significant investment. His insights were practical and thorough, helping me assess the opportunity more objectively and make a well-informed decision. I really appreciated his support and would recommend him to anyone seeking reliable business advice."Ana Decanini

"When I started building Resilient Ones, I had a big vision for what I wanted to create, but I didn't necessarily have the business experience or structure to bring it all together. Coming from a decade in firefighting, I knew how to work hard, lead people, and make an impact, but building a business was a completely different world. I needed someone who could help me organize my ideas, create a clear direction, and turn my vision into something sustainable.

Working with you has been incredibly valuable, not just from a business perspective, but personally as well. You've always been someone I could bounce ideas off, who would challenge my thinking, ask the right questions, and give me honest feedback rather than just telling me what I wanted to hear. You helped me bring clarity and structure to areas of my business that felt overwhelming. More importantly, you've always genuinely cared about me as a person, not just the success of my business. You've been in my corner wanting me to succeed and grow every step of the way and for that I am forever grateful.

If you're serious about building a business and want someone who genuinely cares about your success, I'd absolutely recommend David. He brings years of experience, practical business knowledge, and the ability to see things you might be missing when you're caught up in the day-to-day. He's not there to just tell you what you want to hear. He'll challenge you, help you think differently, and give you the guidance and structure to move forward with more confidence. He's been both a mentor and a friend to me, and I'm grateful for the role he's played in my journey."

"Before I met David, my Pilates business was struggling with significant operational challenges. He stepped in and worked closely with me to build a custom KPI dashboard for tracking all of our core data, while also developing clear SOPs for my team.

That work completely transformed our operations from the top down. I’m incredibly proud of how organized, standardized, and streamlined we’ve become, and our KPI dashboard has made a massive difference in how we operate day-to-day.

What stood out most about working with David was his patience. He never makes assumptions; instead, he asks thoughtful questions and truly listens to understand rather than just waiting to reply.

I’d highly recommend David to any owner looking to get their business on track. Working with him is almost like having a business therapist, he listens to your challenges and equips you with the right tools, but he also holds you accountable to follow through and get results"
