I've been doing commercial real estate since the early 80's, and doing all the analysis myself, but with GrowthFactor coming on we've been able to expand much faster, make quicker decisions, whether its traffic count or demographics, we don't have to dig. Whatever our needs are, it's there for us.

What do Waldo and Clara do?
Waldo is your site analyst who predicts how new locations will perform. Clara is your lease genius who highlights risky clauses, answers tricky questions, and does it all in multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
How long is implementation?
You'll be up and running in under two weeks. Just upload your leases and site data—we'll handle the heavy lifting. No IT headaches. No months-long implementation.
Is it suitable for small chains?
Yes! GrowthFactor gives you the tools national chains use, so you can scale smartly, pick the best locations, and impress landlords and lenders.

It's easy. Step 1: Upload your leases and deals. Step 2: Dive into insights. Step 3: Make better decisions, faster. We guide you every step of the way.
What results can I expect?
Our users see site evaluation time cut by 80%, payback periods shortened by 40%, and more deals closed without hiring extra staff.
How is GrowthFactor different from competitors?
Most tools focus on one piece of the puzzle. GrowthFactor does it all. We bring deal tracking, lease analysis, and predictive insights together. Plus, our AI agents, Waldo and Clara, don't just throw data at you—they actually help you decide what to do with it.
Can I replace spreadsheets with GrowthFactor?
Absolutely. GrowthFactor replaces the endless Excel grind. It compares sites, reviews lease terms, and tracks pipelines—all in minutes, not weeks. Plus, it generates polished, boardroom-ready reports.

Is GrowthFactor secure?
Yes. Your data's locked down with enterprise-grade security and encryption. We treat it like gold—protected and never shared.

Yes! Our platform is tailored for food-specific insights like traffic patterns, customer proximity, and restaurant KPIs. Whether you're QSR or fine dining, we've got you covered.
Is it only for big enterprises?
Not at all. Whether you have three locations or 500, GrowthFactor scales with you. No big team required—just big goals.
How does it help with leadership pitches?
We make real estate sound strategic. Whether it's ROI forecasts, reducing cannibalization risk, or standardizing reports, you'll have the data to speak CFO fluently and win approval.
