The independent analyst in your corner

Optegra Advisors helps multi-unit operators expand without improvising. We handle franchise development and brokering, FDD disclosure and compliance, territory structuring, site selection, and the underwriting that has to stand up to a lender. Franchise growth is a sequence of irreversible decisions — where to open, what to sign, when to commit. We are the people who tell you where to open, and where not to.

What we do

Six disciplines, one path from intent to signed deal

  • Franchise Development & Brokering

    FDD disclosure and compliance, territory grants, multi-unit development structuring, franchisor–franchisee matchmaking.

  • Site Selection & Real Estate Advisory

    Data-driven site evaluation and full-cycle tenant and landlord representation, through our real estate affiliate.

  • Business Planning & Underwriting

    Financial modeling and underwriting support built for lender and investor scrutiny.

  • Regulatory & Compliance Advisory

    FTC Franchise Rule compliance, state registration tracking, disclosure timing management.

  • Territory & Market Strategy

    Market mapping, cannibalization screening, and territory planning for multi-unit operators.

  • Marketing & Brand Development

    Digital marketing and brand strategy for client engagements and owned concepts.

Structure

Advisory and execution, kept separate on purpose

Optegra Advisors is the advisory practice. Real estate execution runs through our affiliate, PDF Group, powered by eXp Commercial, which handles tenant and landlord representation on brokered deals. Keeping the two distinct is deliberate: the analysis that tells you whether a site works is produced by people who are not paid on whether you sign the lease.

What sits behind those numbers

  • Site evaluation

    Trade-area and competitor analysis on every candidate location before a lease is considered, with a documented pass or fail.

  • Disclosure and compliance

    FDD delivery, the statutory waiting period, and state registration tracking managed as a gated sequence rather than paperwork.

  • Territory structuring

    Protected areas and multi-unit development schedules mapped so operators are not competing against their own next opening.

  • Lease execution

    Tenant and landlord representation handled through our licensed real estate affiliate, kept separate from the advice.
