More about our services

At C Squared, the whole is truly greater than the sum of our individual business experience. Our firm has significant amount of franchisor, franchisee and multi-unit transaction experience. With over 100 years of collective transaction experience, we have the expertise and relationships necessary to deliver timely, value-added solutions for our clients.

We adhere to our core values of hard work, integrity and relationships in everything we do and manage all aspects of an engagement to ensure a successful outcome. While numbers are our business, we firmly believe that not everything that counts can be counted. We focus on the interpersonal relationships that can bolster or compromise a deal depending on the circumstances.

I’ve known Carty for 25 years as a competitor, advisor and representative on M & A transactions. Although I’ve completed hundreds of restaurant financing transactions in my career, when it came time to sell part of my Wendy’s business, my partner and I immediately hired Carty. The expertise required to sell a franchise business is much different than financing that business. Carty is tough, fair, and focused on finding ways to get a deal done. We’ve been on both sides of transactions with Carty. I’d rather have C Squared on my side of the table.
