WHAT

  • Distressed business and real-estate research

  • Business development and strategic connections

  • Turnaround and improvement opportunities

HOW

HOW

No predetermined answers. No corporate runaround.

Every situation is different. I start by listening, asking questions and understanding what's actually happening. Then I research, evaluate and identify practical options.

  • Listen: Understand the people, business and objectives.

  • Investigate: Gather information, examine the circumstances and identify opportunities.

  • Evaluate: Determine what's viable, what's missing and what needs attention.

  • Recommend: Present realistic options and a practical path forward.

  • Engage: Work with the client on an agreed scope, whether that's research, consulting, development or implementation.

​

How It Works

1. Let's Talk — Free Initial Phone Consultation

Every situation is different. Start with a complimentary 15–20 minute conversation to discuss your business, property, challenge, or opportunity.

2. Define the Assignment

I'll evaluate your needs and outline a recommended approach, scope of work, deliverables, estimated timeline, and transparent pricing.

3. Agree & Get to Work

Once we've agreed on the scope and terms, we'll formalize the engagement and get started.

No pressure. No predetermined packages. Just an honest conversation about what you're trying to accomplish and how I might help.​

DEAL

DEAL

Seeing potential where others see problems.

Not every opportunity is listed, advertised or immediately obvious. I look for overlooked businesses, distressed assets, undervalued properties, operational inefficiencies and situations where the right people or resources could create something worthwhile.

Areas of interest include:

  • Distressed Real Estate & Acquisition Opportunities

  • Small Business Acquisitions & Turnarounds

  • Deal Sourcing & Preliminary Due Diligence

  • Market & Competitive Intelligence

  • Business Development & Strategic Partnerships

Sometimes the answer is an improvement. Sometimes it's a partnership, a buyer, a new direction or recognizing that a deal doesn't make sense. The objective is to find out.

ABOUT

ABOUT

Kevin O'Sullivan

Business Insight. Blue-Collar Instinct. Independent Thinking.

download (22)_edited_edited_edited_edite

I'm Kevin O'Sullivan, an independent entrepreneur with a hands-on background in operations, business development, buying and selling, and problem-solving.

​

My experience wasn't built exclusively behind a desk. I spent two decades in commercial fishing and have pursued independent ventures across several industries:

 

Across different industries, I've developed the same instincts: resourcefulness, independent thinking, curiosity, and an ability to recognize potential where others might see obstacles.

At my core, I'm an autodidact, polymath, and serial researcher. I enjoy digging into how things work, challenging conventional assumptions, identifying inefficiencies, and finding ways to make businesses and opportunities more valuable.

​

I bring that perspective to other people's businesses, assets, and ventures across small businesses in various industries.

​

I'm not here to sell a predetermined formula or generic consulting playbook.

​

I'm interested in understanding the situation, finding overlooked possibilities, connecting the dots, and helping make things happen.

​

Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective, a little digging, and someone willing to think outside the box.

 I QUESTION THE PROBLEM ITSELF.

I dig beneath the surface, challenge assumptions, and uncover underlying faults.

Consultations & In-Person Meetings

Initial Consultation — Complimentary

Lets start with a free phone conversation to discuss your situation, objectives, and potential needs.

Phone conversations and in-person meetings are my standard methods of communication.

​

Video conferencing generally isn't my thing!!!

I prefer talking with people rather than talking to screens. I find phone conversations allow me to concentrate, listen, and engage without unnecessary visual distractions. When discussing complicated, sensitive, or uncomfortable business matters, I'd rather have a genuine conversation than another virtual meeting. I'm direct, approachable, and always willing to talk.

Local In-Person Meetings

In-person meetings within the New Bedford area may be arranged by appointment following an initial phone consultation, acceptance of a written service agreement, and receipt of the required deposit. Meetings are intended to support active client assignments, project discussions, research findings, and ongoing business matters.

Meeting locations and scheduling will be coordinated in advance. Additional travel or meeting-related expenses, if applicable, will be disclosed and agreed upon beforehand.

Out-of-Area & National Travel

Commercial Fixer Services accepts assignments beyond the local area, including nationwide projects. Travel outside the New Bedford service area is billed separately to the client.
