Co-Founder & Managing Partner
Shoeb Ikram
Multi-site owner-operator.
Shoeb owns and operates stations himself. That is the whole basis of how he advises. He has ordered the loads, sat through the inspections, and absorbed the cost of a bad month on his own sites before ever doing it on anyone else's.

Where Shoeb helps
- Reading a station's real numbers: what the P&L means once you own it
- Environmental compliance and the regulatory side, before it becomes a problem
- Acquisitions and sales, valued from an operator's seat rather than a spreadsheet
- Supplier, brand and vendor relationships built over years
Background
Shoeb came up as a multi-site owner-operator and has worked every part of the business: the forecourt, the store, the back office, and the compliance paperwork nobody wants to touch.
Most people looking at a station see a price and a fuel volume. Shoeb looks at what decides whether a deal works: what the tanks will cost, which contracts you inherit, where the inside margin is soft, and what the site is worth to the next buyer. He works the same way for buyers and sellers, which means he will tell you when a deal is not worth doing.
Working with Shoeb
