Yes. We work with owner-led, mid-market and private-equity-backed companies across the Sarasota–Bradenton–North Port metro area, including Bradenton, Venice, North Port and Lakewood Ranch.
SARASOTA, FLORIDA
Strategy and operations consulting in Sarasota.
A Gulf Coast metro where retiree in-migration drives health care, homebuilding and local services, alongside a small group of corporate headquarters and tourism tied to beaches and the Ringling museum.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Sarasota.
Population growth from retirees and remote workers drives much of the economy, supporting homebuilding in master-planned communities such as Lakewood Ranch, health care led by Sarasota Memorial, and a wide range of personal and home services. A smaller corporate base includes Roper Technologies and FCCI Insurance Group in Sarasota and Feld Entertainment in Manatee County. Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 damaged barrier islands and coastal property, adding rebuilding demand and pressure on property insurance costs.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Sarasota management teams.
Contractors and home-service businesses have strong demand but a thin pool of skilled trades, and many owners are weighing offers from private equity platforms consolidating HVAC, roofing and pool services across Florida. Property insurance and storm exposure raise costs for every business with physical assets. Seasonal population swings make staffing and cash planning harder for health care, hospitality and retail operators.
