What WE do
Dovetail Capital helps owner-led franchisees of regional and national brands manage the addition (buy-side) or disposition (sell-side) of franchise units. We provide mergers & acquisitions (M&A) financial advisory services with a focus on sourcing, structuring, and financing franchise acquisitions. Clients choose Dovetail Capital for advocacy, institutional know-how, and a detailed focus that creates sustainable growth.
We bring together deep industry connections, precise expertise, and authenticity to help you grow your portfolio in a seamless manner, akin to the craftsmanship of dovetail joints in woodworking. Our mission is to craft optimal financial solutions that strengthen your franchise portfolio.

We handle the financial process for debt placement and sale-leasebacks. Our expert financial models ensure a smooth underwriting process and help you secure the best possible terms for your acquisition.
havE you ExpEriEncEd any of thEsE?
If you’ve been through any of these scenarios, it’s time to talk:
1. You’ve outgrown the SBA program and need a new source of financing.
2. You've thought, “Maybe I can handle this deal myself...” Then the deal gets muddy because nobody is leading the process, the deal sits for months and may not even transact.
3. You’ve done it before, but now the deal is taking time away from running your franchise business.
Let us guide you through the process so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.
