About Us

Blacklane is built at the intersection of enterprise, culture, and capital. We operate as a multi-division powerhouse focused on accelerating business ownership, brand building, and franchise expansion for the next generation of founders especially those from historically underrepresented communities.

Blacklane spans diverse industries and services while remaining unified in purpose: to cultivate ownership, generational wealth, and cultural legacy across borders. Whether through high-stakes business deals, scalable franchise models, or culturally rooted creative ventures, we empower visionaries to build boldly and operate globally.

Business Brokering

Our Business Brokering division specializes in buying, selling, and scaling small to mid-sized businesses. We serve both first-time entrepreneurs looking to enter ownership and seasoned investors seeking portfolio growth.

Our approach is hands-on and tailored — we match high-potential businesses with capable buyers, provide valuation insight, assist in negotiations, and offer post-acquisition support to ensure smooth transitions. We place a special focus on equitable deal-making and supporting sellers who want to pass on legacy businesses within the Black, Brown, and emerging global markets.

Core Services:

  • Business buying/selling advisory

  • Deal structuring and negotiation support

  • Financial analysis and exit planning

  • Buyer and seller matchmaking

  • Transition and operational support

Franchise Consulting

Our Franchise Development division exists to scale ambition. We help independent business owners turn strong concepts into franchisable systems and assist franchisees in selecting the right brand to invest in.

With expertise in both domestic and international franchising — including a specialized focus on U.S.–Africa partnerships — we help clients navigate legal frameworks, structure operations, and build roadmaps for long-term franchise growth. Blacklane is especially passionate about unlocking franchise ownership for communities traditionally left out of the model.

What We Offer:

  • Franchise concept development & documentation

  • Franchise brand building and go-to-market strategy

  • Franchise sales support and prospect vetting

  • International franchise expansion (focus on U.S., Africa, and Latin America)

  • Franchisee training and investment coaching

Creative Development

Our Creative Development division in TV and Film brings original stories, voices, and visual narratives to life. We develop, produce, and package unscripted and scripted projects with a focus on Black, diasporic, and cross-cultural storytelling.

From docuseries to reality formats and scripted dramas, we work with creators, producers, and talent to shape concepts from pitch to production. Our goal is to cultivate content that reflects untold experiences, shifts culture, and creates ownership in the entertainment industry.

Creative Services Include:

  • Original concept development for TV and film

  • Scripted and unscripted series packaging

  • Talent partnerships and creator support
