Consulting by Opus
Skip the trial and error. Talk to people who already made it work.
Opus is the consulting arm of the team that builds LynkPilot, franchise management software running inside wellness brands today. That's the difference between us and a generic franchise consultant: we see the royalty statements, the P&Ls, the site approvals, and the vendor relationships up close, every week, across a real portfolio of brands. When you talk to Opus, you're talking to people who already know which lenders actually fund wellness deals, which equipment vendors overpromise, and which numbers in a franchisor's pitch deck rarely survive year one.
If you're evaluating your first wellness franchise, we'll help you read past the pitch deck to what the unit economics actually look like. If you already own one and are weighing a second or third location, we'll help you figure out what has to be true operationally before you sign another lease.
Why Opus instead of a generalist consultant
- We're embedded in the industry, not visiting it. We co-own LynkPilot and work directly inside wellness franchise systems every week. This isn't a side practice bolted onto a general small business advisory shop.
- We know the players. Lenders, equipment vendors, franchise attorneys, site selection tools: we've seen who delivers and who doesn't across real deals, not just marketing pages.
- You talk directly to the people doing the work. No account manager layer between you and the person who actually reviews your numbers.
- We publish what we know for free. Everything on this site, including our published guides and calculators, is public. Engaging us means going deeper on your specific numbers and decisions, not paying for information we could have just told you.
What we help with
Concept & franchise evaluation
A second, sharper set of eyes on a brand you're considering: reading Item 19 correctly, stress-testing the unit economics behind the pitch, and asking the questions franchisees usually wish they'd asked earlier.
Financing strategy
Structuring the right capital stack (SBA, ROBS, equipment financing, or a blend) and building a pro forma that survives underwriting, not just a slide deck.
Site selection & build-out planning
Reading trade areas, demographics, and lease terms before you sign, and sequencing equipment and build-out spend so cash flow survives the ramp period.
Multi-unit expansion strategy
For owners past unit one: sequencing unit two and three, knowing when to hire a GM layer, and avoiding the operational strain that sinks otherwise healthy expansions.
Operations & royalty structure review
A working audit of your current reporting, royalty basis, and multi-location KPIs, so you know what's actually broken, what's just annoying, and what to fix first.
Tell us where you're at
We take on a limited number of engagements at a time so every client gets direct access, not a rotating team of juniors. Send us a few details on your situation and what you're trying to decide. We reply to every inquiry personally, and we'll tell you straight if the free guides and tools here already answer your question, rather than push a call you don't need.
