Meet our leadership team
Jake Beren brings a highly practical business, development, and project execution background to BG Business Advisors, where he contributes to business brokerage, transaction advisory, due diligence, and strategic opportunity evaluation.
With experience as a real estate developer and Chief Operating Officer of Strategic Development LLC, Jake has been involved in complex projects requiring financial analysis, municipal coordination, entitlement strategy, infrastructure planning, budgeting, consultant management, contract coordination, and execution oversight. His background gives him a strong ability to evaluate business opportunities not only from a financial standpoint, but also from an operational, real estate, infrastructure, and implementation perspective.
Jake has participated in the planning, approval, and execution of development projects involving more than 3,000 residential units, assisted living facilities, commercial development, mixed-use communities, flex industrial space, and environmentally sensitive land assets. This experience provides him with valuable insight into business valuation considerations, land and facility-related risks, expansion potential, regulatory issues, project feasibility, and the practical challenges that often affect closely held businesses and real estate-backed enterprises.
At BG Business Advisors, Jake supports clients by helping assess acquisition and sale opportunities, review business and real estate fundamentals, identify operational or development-related value drivers, and evaluate potential obstacles that may impact a transaction. His experience working with municipalities, engineers, consultants, contractors, ownership groups, and institutional stakeholders allows him to bring a disciplined, execution-oriented approach to business brokerage and advisory assignments.
Prior to his development career, Jake worked with banking institutions and consulting organizations, where he developed additional experience in financial analysis, project structuring, strategic planning, and business optimization.
Jake’s combination of development experience, financial perspective, operational discipline, and transaction-focused thinking makes him a valuable resource for business owners, buyers, investors, and entrepreneurs seeking informed guidance through the sale, acquisition, or strategic evaluation of a business.
