What’s Your Tampa Restaurant Actually Worth? Here’s What Most Owners Get Wrong

March 6, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

More than that, the right broker has a buyer network you simply don’t have access to. They know who’s actively looking, what similar businesses have sold for, and how to position your restaurant competitively without underselling it or chasing away qualified buyers with an inflated ask.

Why Your Multi-Billion Dollar Merger Is Dying on the Vine (and How to Save It)

February 27, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

Culture is not a “soft skill” or a list of values on a breakroom poster. It is a system of shared values and beliefs that creates the behavioral norms guiding how work actually gets done. It dictates how decisions are made, how risks are taken, and how power is wielded.

How to Value a Retail Business: The Essential Metrics Buyers & Sellers Must Master (2026 Guide)

February 24, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

The “Safe Bet” List: Top Franchises Ranked by Lowest SBA Default Rates

February 24, 2026 by Michael Shea PA

To keep the data reliable, we look at charge-offs—instances where the borrower couldn’t repay and the SBA had to pay the lender guarantee. We’ve also filtered this list to brands with over 25 loans. Why? Because a brand with only 2 loans and 0 defaults doesn’t have a large enough sample size to prove it’s a “safe bet.”
