ADVISORY FOR OWNER-OPERATORS READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT
Most businesses don't stall because of a lack of ambition. They stall because the structure hasn't kept up with the vision. We work with owner-operators to close that gap, whether the goal is growth, a capital raise, or building something worth passing on.
Start With a Discovery SprintBuilt for where you've been. Ready for where you're going.
We work with owner-operators and growth-stage companies doing $5M to $100M in revenue across manufacturing, distribution, services, technology, and other real economy industries.
Maybe the business is growing faster than the structure can handle. Maybe you're thinking about what it's ultimately worth — to a buyer, a partner, or the next generation. Maybe you just know that the way it runs today is heavier than it should be, and it's not sustainable.
Whatever brought you here, the pattern is usually the same: a good business that's ready for better systems, cleaner financials, and a structure that doesn't depend entirely on one person.
Growth-Stage Companies
You've built something that works. Now the business needs to work without depending entirely on you. We help owner-operators build the structure, systems, and financial clarity that turn a good business into a valuable, transferable one.
Exit-Ready & Value Creation
Whether you're preparing for a sale, a capital raise, or simply want to know what your business is actually worth, we help you get there with clean financials, documented operations, and a business that can stand on its own under scrutiny.
We also work with select institutional and public sector organizations navigating complexity, performance gaps, or organizational change.
Our principals bring experience from TradeStation, the Inter-American Development Bank, FIU's College of Business, and 30+ years of operating, advising, and building across the United States and Latin America.
Every engagement starts with clarity.
Before we recommend anything, we need to understand how your business actually operates — not how it looks on paper. That's why every engagement begins with the G+Co. Discovery Sprint: a focused diagnostic that maps your real decision flows, operational friction, financial realities, and the constraints that are quietly limiting your growth.
Assess
We identify the gaps limiting your growth, valuation, and control. Not theoretical gaps. The specific ones getting in the way of where you're trying to go.
Stabilize
We implement structure, visibility, and accountability. The kind that creates consistent results and reduces dependence on any one person, including you.
Validate & Scale
We make sure your business can perform under outside scrutiny — whether that's an investor, a lender, a buyer, or simply the next phase of growth.
What You Walk Away With
A clear picture of where the business stands today: what's working and worth protecting, what's getting in the way, where you have real leverage, and a path forward focused on what matters most next.
Our goal is simple: to help you build a business that performs better and gives you more control over your time, your energy, and your future.
What this looks like in practice
Integrated Food Processing & Distribution
The company came to us with disorganized financials, high-interest debt constraining cash flow, and operations that couldn't withstand outside scrutiny. They had strong demand but no structure to capitalize on it.
G+Co. Advisors partnered with ownership to clean up the books, restructure the capital stack, and implement governance and accountability systems across the operation.
Within the first year:
- Revenue increased 50%, reaching double-digit millions
- Average interest rates cut by 50%, saving an estimated $1.2M annually
- Cash flow stabilized and lender confidence restored
- Valuation projected to reach $25M within the following 12 months, with a trajectory toward $100M+
"The key to Gaston's success is good judgment — the ability to size up the situation and make the right decisions consistently."— Michael Burke, 20-year colleague, TradeStation Group
Why owner-operators work with us
We've Been in the Seat
Our principals have owned P&Ls, built teams from scratch, and operated across the U.S., Latin America, and Asia. We don't advise from the sidelines. We've run the play.
We Know What Buyers See
With 25 years of buy-side due diligence experience, we evaluate your business the way an acquirer, investor, or lender would. We find the gaps before they do.
We Build for Scrutiny
Clean financials, documented processes, governance that holds up. Whether you're preparing for an exit or just want to run better, we build the operational backbone that makes it possible.
The People Behind the Strategy
G+Co. Advisors was built on a simple conviction: owner-led companies deserve the same caliber of strategic guidance that larger firms take for granted. We bring decades of hands-on leadership, operational experience, and a focus on results that you can actually measure.
Gaston Sanchez
CEO & Principal
I spent 27 years inside one of the most demanding environments in financial technology — building products, leading teams, and eventually building and running an entire Asia region from scratch. I owned the P&L, set the direction, and learned firsthand what it actually takes to build something that performs under pressure.
That experience is what I bring to every G+Co. Advisors engagement. I've sat in the seat you're in. I know the difference between a business that looks good on paper and one that actually runs.
Agustin Cohen
Managing Partner
I've spent 30 years evaluating whether businesses are actually as good as they look. That includes seven years of buy-side due diligence for venture capital investors, over a decade consulting directly with CEOs across Latin America through the Inter-American Development Bank, and building and selling a company of my own along the way.
That combination — the investor's eye, the operator's instincts, and the academic discipline from teaching entrepreneurship at FIU's College of Business — is what I bring to every G+Co. Advisors engagement. I know what acquirers, lenders, and investors look for, because I've been on that side of the table.
The businesses that perform, scale, and hold their value don't get there by accident. They get there because someone made a decision.
If you're ready to have an honest conversation about where your business is and where it's capable of going, we're ready to listen. The first step is always a conversation, and it's on us.
