by a searcher from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Kenan-Flagler Business School in Charlotte, NC, USA

Hi all,

Currently working in Big 4 M&A advisory and am trying to make the switch out of corporate to acquire my own business and hopefully execute a roll up strategy. However, I've read all the books and am stuck in paralysis by analysis. Would love to connect with someone to get some advice on how to just get started. If anybody has been down this path and would be willing to connect, please let me know as I'm excited to head down this path.

Thanks!
Bryan

I know a few searchers in Charlotte that I could intro you too as well as a meetup that happens in CLT monthly for ETA. Separately, I started a Zillow like platform for identifying franchise businesses called Franzy. We use AI to identify your best fit based on your financial readiness, goals, risk tolerance, and operational experience. Let me know if you want to talk about any of the above, my email is redacted

Hi Bryan. You've got plenty of help from Charlotte-based folks here, but feel free to DM me if you'd like to compare notes. Looks like we have several common connections.
