Broker Biography

Introduction

As a Bakery & Café Business Broker with Accel Business Brokers and founder of Flour and Finance, I specialize in the valuation, sale, and acquisition of bakeries, café’s, franchise bakeries, and related service businesses across California. With 30+ years as a bakery owner/operator, I bring the specialized knowledge needed to price accurately, market effectively, and negotiate successfully—delivering smoother, higher-value outcomes than a generalist agent.

Why a specialist matters: bakeries are unique. Production flow, COGS and labor ratios, lease terms, HACCP/health nuances, and seasonality all drive value. I translate these into clear valuations and targeted buyer outreach while protecting confidentiality.

• Bakery, café, and food service sales & valuations
