My name is Lafate Smith. I am the owner and founder of Business Advisor and Counselor, Inc. After researching and entering into negotiations with presidents and business owners from various franchises and business opportunities over a 10 year span, I decided to share my lessons learned with other potential franchise buyers and investors via BAACI.
