A business built for you.
Not a course. Not a franchise. Not coaching. We build and operate real service companies that sell to the U.S. government — and you own them.
We Build It
Entity formation, certifications, government registrations, contracts, operations — our team handles the entire launch.
We Manage It
Day-to-day operations run by our team. You don't quit your job. You don't manage employees. We do.
You Own It
Your company. Your asset. No franchise fees. No royalties. Build equity in a business you can sell when you're ready.
Your business is built by a team, not a template.
Our advisory team includes retired federal procurement directors, SBA lending specialists, government contract professionals, and operational leaders with decades of combined experience winning contracts across every major service category.
When you work with Azgari, you're not watching videos. You're working with people who have done this before — for themselves and for clients.
Not all paths to ownership are equal.
Four ways to own a business. Only one lets you keep your income, skip the debt, and own everything.
Acquisition
- ✕ High capital + SBA debt
- ✕ Years of debt service
- ✕ You manage from day one
- ✕ Inheriting someone else's problems
- ✕ Must quit your W-2
Their Brand, Their Rules
- ✕ High startup fees
- ✕ 4-12% royalties forever
- ✕ You operate full time
- ✕ Their system, their rules
- ✕ Employee of your own biz
DIY Launch
- ✕ Lower cost but all on you
- ✕ You manage everything
- ✕ Must quit to go full time
- ✕ No team, no guidance
- ✕ Longest path to revenue

Azgari Lipshy
Serial entrepreneur who has built, operated, and sold multiple seven-figure service companies. SCORE-certified business mentor. Featured speaker on entrepreneurship, government contracting, and business ownership for high-income professionals.
The Azgari Foundation exists because too many talented people spend decades building someone else's company — and walk away with nothing but a severance and a LinkedIn post. We build the bridge from employee to owner.
Business ownership should be accessible to everyone.
The Azgari Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to removing the barriers that keep talented people from owning businesses. We believe entrepreneurship is a path to freedom — and that path shouldn't only be open to those who can already afford it.
For qualified professionals who have the drive but not the capital, we offer scholarships to cover the cost of our business launch services.
Scholarships are limited and awarded based on need, readiness, and commitment.
