Business coach in Montreal for owner-operators
Some decisions do not fit in a project: whether to open a second location, how to finance it, when to hire a general manager, how to step back without losing control. Coaching gives you a steady, experienced sounding board for those decisions over months or years.
What coaching covers
- Growth and expansion decisions, including a second or third location.
- Financing: preparing for banks, BDC and investors.
- Mission and direction: sharpening what the business is for and where it is going.
- Organizational change: new roles, new managers, and stepping back from daily operations.
- Preparing for franchising or for a future sale.
How it works
Coaching runs on a monthly retainer, with regular sessions and access between them when a decision cannot wait. Lorne structures the thinking, asks the questions that matter and helps you reach decisions with clarity, rather than handing you opinions.
Questions owners ask
Is coaching only for restaurants?
No. Lorne's main expertise is food, franchise and multi-location operations, but he coaches owners of any owner-operated business facing growth or transition, from distribution to trades.
How is coaching priced?
As a flexible monthly retainer, agreed after the free first consultation.
Talk it through before you commit
The first consultation is free and carries no obligation. Most clients start with a phone call: describe your business and what you are considering, whether expanding, selling or buying, and Lorne will tell you plainly what it would take.
