Acadia Business Advisors-serving Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Northwest United States, Canada, and International Franchise Markets

Acadia Business Advisors is a full service franchise consultant and business advisory firm with headquarters in Maine, offices across the United States, serving clients throughout North America and international markets. We bring over 25 years of experience in delivering solutions to many of the common challenges facing small business and mid-market business clients.  We specialize in the franchise industry and also work with related non-franchise companies for similar issues. Whether it s a short term engagement or a long term relationship, our goal and view is to form a long term trusted advisor and business partner relationship with each client. This is done through consistently demonstrating teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity, leadership, and trust with each client. If you are looking for the best franchise opportunity, the fastest growing franchises, unique franchises, or other best business opportunities, we can help.  If you are looking to develop your own franchise system from a proven or successful business model, we have the resources and expertise within the franchise industry to help.  If you are an existing franchise looking to maximize performance and operational efficiency through technology, we are a leader in the industry in resources and expertise. 

We focus on three distinct areas:

Find and Buy: While others act as franchise brokers, we are a franchise advisor to buyer candidates.  We help them find the best franchise opportunities, finding top franchises that match their their background, location, resources, and goals.  We help facilitate the due diligence process, saving both buyer and seller considerable time, money, and risk in the process.  Our fees are paid by the seller.   

Expand and Grow: We help existing franchisors and businesses who want to expand through a franchise concept, licensed affiliate, dealership, or business opportunity, navigate the process of forming the organizational strucuture and then marketing to qualified candidates.

Optimize and Improve: Franchisees, Franchisors, and Independent business owners all face some common operational challenges to their success. Acadia Business Advisors helps address many of them. Whether its Human Resources, Operations, Technology, or Revenue Development, we have the experience and resources to help solve many of them.
