As Agent
Bailiwick is a very unique company with experience working with a wide array of clients. We are dedicated to and passionate about the restaurant industry. Our clients are private equity investors and lenders, celebrity chefs, real estate developers, hotel operators, entrepreneurs, executive management, operators and developers.
Our professional services include:
> Corporate finance
We develop operating plans, write business plans, create financial models, conduct feasibility analysis, manage due diligence investigations, create investment structures, advise on growth and franchising strategies and prepare financing and investor presentation documents.
> Corporate development
We advise chefs and FOH operators, investors, lenders, franchisers and franchisees, real estate developers, growing chains and hotel operators on new business strategies, M&A, tenant mix and valuations. We integrate resources and connect operators with vendors, investors & RE locations and make deals happen. We solve problems, initiate ideas, and create opportunities for mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, franchising and international development. We are creative and experienced.
> Strategic planning
Many restaurant companies want to grow but are not sure of how, or when. Or, in which direction to grow, or where to expand, who to partner with or how to attract capital, or negotiate TI’s. We help create opportunities and negotiate deals resulting in a win, win. When a CEO asks, should we…, then we help them make those decisions empirically.
> Project management
From concept idea to opening day, we can manage, or guide you and help make dreams a reality, anywhere in the world. We integrate and manage complex restaurant and other physical plant or entertainment projects internationally. From developing a Cold Stone Creamery in Manila in less than 3 weeks, to managing a 23,000 sq. ft. Club Kokomo project for Mike Love of The Beach Boys, we get it done.
> Concept creation and development
Real estate developers and hotel operators must have great restaurants for their projects, their customers and clients demand it. Restaurateurs and chefs have ideas but need a third-party to assist, design, research and evaluate. We create, innovate, assemble, integrate, design, document, finance and develop; or just provide experienced counsel along the way.
> Resource integration
After 30 years in the restaurant business, we have a few contacts we can share with our clients. This saves time and money and enables us to be efficient and confident. Our access runs deep, with access to:
- Real Estate developers
- Branded consumer products
- Investors
- Retail, restaurant and entertainment partners

Our management group is fully capable of providing full time, full service restaurant management services. On an interim basis, turn-around assignments or long-term contracts, we have access to local management talent and have a global perspective.
> Capital formation
While are not a broker-dealer, we can be helpful making qualified introductions. As investment bankers we have participated in over 150 transactions and understand the process.
> Valuation Services
Through our valuation affiliate, Brunswick Valuation Advisors, LLC, we offer full service business valuation services.
> Restaurant chain acquisition advisory
Mergers and acquisitions can be complicated. Transactions take time, distract management and are expensive. We represent buyers in sourcing and evaluating opportunities, managing due diligence, arranging for private equity and debt and guide the transaction from start to finish. Then, help with integration and growth strategies. For sellers, we can source qualified buyers, prepare the company for a sale, create the selling memorandum and interface with prospective buyers and their adviser, while saving our clients time, allowing them to focus on running their business.
> Franchise advisory
Considering an expansions plan that includes franchising? We can help with planning through sales.
