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.
