Ted's Navigational Convictions

Vetting the career and financial transition from executive to business owner.

Career Strategy First
"We help people identify deep meaning to their work."
We focus on developing ideation with goal identification to see if you have the vision and motivation to leave corporate America to be your own boss. Our process is highly customized.
The Scalable Machine
"Franchising is a financial machine. Let's analyze the economics."
We look past the flashy logos and marketing brochures to evaluate the FDD Item 19 disclosures, territory demographic data, and owner validation ratios. Our goal is a predictable, scalable financial machine.
The Service Arbitrage
"Find high-margin, service-based models with low overhead."
Food and retail get all the attention, but they are capital-intensive and labor-heavy. The highest returns on capital are in unglamorous, high-margin B2B, senior care, and home services sectors.
