The Origin

The Name, the Model,
and the Mission

People ask us two things: what is Bahia Mar, and how do you say it? The answer to the second question is easy — ba-he-ya. The first takes a little longer.

Our name comes from the pulp fiction novels of John D. MacDonald, written in the 1970s. The protagonist, Travis McGee, lives aboard a houseboat moored at Bahia Mar Marina in Fort Lauderdale. He's a private investigator of a particular kind — he recovers things of value that have been lost or stolen. And he never charges a dime upfront. Instead, he works on contingency, taking a percentage of whatever he recovers.

"We built our entire business model around that idea — you pay nothing unless we find savings, and you keep the lion's share."

The largest thing being lost — or stolen, depending on your perspective — from business owners every year is profit. The top three culprits are almost always the same: taxes, insurance premiums, and building maintenance & utilities. Together, they quietly drain hundreds of thousands of dollars from businesses that should be keeping far more of what they earn.

We step in with a red-carpet concierge approach. Our job is to stop the drain and recover your annual profit from these losses — without disrupting a single thing about how you run your business. We work around you, fixing the peripheral costs that add up to significant, unnecessary losses year after year.

Every strategy we provide has been thoroughly vetted and proven viable, legal, and efficient across thousands of businesses throughout the U.S. We simply make the savings strategies that Fortune 500 companies have always had access to available to everyone — from a 10-person shop to a regional enterprise.

And our rate? Significantly lower than Travis McGee's 50%.
