SERVICES OVERVIEW
WHERE WE LEAD
Franchise Operations & Turnaround Advisory
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with franchise operators to improve unit-level performance, fix what's broken, and implement scalable systems that last. Whether you're navigating underperformance, leadership gaps, or inconsistent execution, we bring real-world solutions - not just frameworks. Our team includes operators who have run top-performing stores in high-density, urban, and rural markets. We don't just consult-we operate, train, and transform.
Multi-Unit Growth & Expansion Strategy
Scaling from five to fifty units requires more than ambition -it demands strategy, infrastructure, and readiness. We help franchisees and emerging groups prepare for growth by layering leadership, refining processes, and strengthening financial controls. Whether you're pursuing organic expansion, refranchising, or new brand development, we provide the blueprint and guidance to grow with confidence.
Private Equity & Investor Advisory
Private Equity firms can rely on Hull Advisory for seasoned operational insight-especially post-acquisition… We assist with asset evaluations, leadership placement, store conversion strategies, and integration planning. Our experience across national franchise brands helps bridge the gap between investment goals and day-to-day execution. We speak both boardroom and back-of-house.
SPECIAL FOCUS AREAS
High-Net-Worth & Family Office Services
We support families and high-net-worth individuals investing in franchised businesses or inheriting operations without prior experience. From succession planning to estate-integrated business continuity, we offer discreet guidance that protects wealth while building legacy. We also assist with leadership placement, transition planning, and long-view operational oversight.
Franchise-Integrated Real Estate Consulting
Real estate strategy is inseparable from franchise success. We support site selection, lease negotiation, development advisory, and investor coordination as part of a holistic franchise growth plan. While we are not a brokerage, we partner with real estate experts and legal advisors to align real estate decisions with long-term business outcomes.
EXPERIENCE THAT DRIVES EXECUTION
Hull Advisory is shaped by decades of real-world experience leading franchise operations at scale.
Our founder, Leighton Hull, has owned and advised businesses under some of the most iconic franchise banners in America - including McDonald's, Denny's,
Shell, and Bojangles. These aren't just logos on a resume - they represent years of firsthand operational leadership, system-level insight, and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in complex franchise environments.
That experience informs everything we do. Whether you're scaling a multi-unit operation, navigating a turnaround, or building for legacy, Hull Advisory brings grounded insight, operator-born strategy, and executional excellence to every engagement.
