Personal Profile
While I am very comfortable helping with the purchase or sale of any business, my expertise is in the restaurant industry. I have personally owned and operated four different foodservice establishments in which I had to go through a broker for the purchase and sale of each one. If you were to choose me to be your broker, you could be comfortable knowing that you are dealing with someone who has gone through the process as a buyer and a seller, just like you. It is my goal to make the experience of buying or selling a business as stress free as possible and at the same time negotiating the best purchase or selling price for your business. Having been in the restaurant business for over 30 years, and I know how hard it is, it’s important to spend your money wisely. Please take advantage of experience by letting me help you with purchase or sale of your next business.
