For Partners: Attorneys, CPAs, Brokers, and Lenders
A referral resource for restaurant clients in distress. Restaurant Exit Advisor provides confidential business consulting -- not legal, financial, or brokerage services.
What Restaurant Exit Advisor Does
Rod Downey provides a confidential 50-minute session for independent restaurant owners deciding whether to keep going, renegotiate their lease, sell, wind down, or close. He reviews their numbers before the call and gives them an honest outside read on their situation.
This is not legal advice, financial advice, or brokerage. It is business consulting from a 40-year restaurant industry veteran who has been on every side of this situation -- including the owner side.
When to Refer
- A client is behind on rent and considering whether to negotiate or walk away
- A client has a personal guarantee and does not understand their exposure
- A client is considering selling but does not know if the business is sellable
- A client is emotionally stuck and needs an outside voice before making a decision
- A client needs to understand their options before they can act on your advice
