Client Testimonials

C Squared positioned the company for a successful transaction in a difficult M&A environment coming out of COVID. We were quite pleased with C Squared and would recommend them highly to other restaurant companies contemplating a liquidity event

C Squared strategically positioned us for a successful transaction in a difficult M&A environment. Pete and Patrick provided us with invaluable advice and support throughout the entire acquisition process. We were impressed with their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to getting the deal done.

Working with C Squared has been a game-changer for my portfolio. Brent’s expertise and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable. With his help we were able to secure the necessary funds to finance our next phase of growth. I couldn’t be more grateful for their partnership and look forward to our continued success together.

Brent and Carty went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition, offering comprehensive guidance every step of the way. C Squared’s remarkable perseverance in navigating a very challenging environment played a crucial role in achieving a successful outcome.”

We couldn’t have asked for a better partner than C Squared Advisors and their exceptional team. Pete and Brent’s unwavering dedication and comprehensive guidance at every turn were instrumental in making this recapitalization and capital raise a resounding success. C Squared’s tenacity in navigating complex challenges played a pivotal role in achieving our goals, and we’re excited about the opportunities this opens up for us moving forward.

I’ve known Carty since 1987 when he financed my initial acquisition of four Wendy’s restaurants when I exited the McDonald’s business. I’ve since relied on Carty’s advice and counsel as we’ve grown our business to almost 60 units. Carty has assisted us in financing engagements, M&A advice, and on the hiring of a CFO. He was also very helpful in assisting us in managing through the Wendy’s SO-III where we acquired additional locations in our core market. I would highly recommend Carty, and the C Squared team. No one knows the QSR industry better.

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.
