I would send him a pm. His biz knowledge is spot on! Sounds like you need more of a good accountant and attorney. Possibly two that could collaborate.
When I think of financial advisor I think broker. I used to work for a broker/dealer firm, so a "financial advisor" to me is someone who will invest your nest egg.
A good attorney and accountant can look at the deal and give you a better idea of what your "really" getting yourself into.
Good luck. Being a biz owner is tough, but it's SOOO worth it!
