Built Different.
Operated Relentlessly.
Chop Enterprises acquires, operates, and scales businesses that others overlook: real estate, salons, and strategic ventures where discipline separates winners from wishful thinkers.
What We Operate
Four verticals. One approach: acquire, systematize, scale.
-
Multifamily residential properties across NJ, from 3-unit buildings to 20+ unit complexes. Active management, strategic acquisitions, long-term holds.
-
Owned locations and independent partnerships. Proven systems for client retention, stylist development, and operational profitability.
-
Strategic coaching for entrepreneurs who need execution plans, not motivation. Focused on mindset, operations, and wealth building.
-
Partner in Make Cool Sh*t, a design and strategy studio. We also work directly with businesses ready to scale, implementing systems, refining operations, and building infrastructure that supports growth.
How We Build
-
Systems and consistency beat bursts of inspiration. We focus on what's repeatable, not what's trendy.
-
Every decision is made with decades in mind, not quarterly targets or quick flips.
-
We're operators first. Every venture is actively managed, not passively held.
-
We don't scale ideas. We scale what's already working.
Built by Someone Who's Been There.
Chop Enterprises is led by Filipe Santos, an operator who's built every venture from the ground up. From union carpenter to real estate investor, salon operator to business coach, every business in the portfolio has been learned through doing, not delegating.
No MBA theory. No inherited wealth. Just relentless execution and a refusal to stay comfortable.
Direct & No-Nonsense
Coaching for Builders, Not Dreamers.
One-on-one coaching for entrepreneurs who don't need cheerleaders. If you're already building, already executing, and need clarity on mindset, operations, health, or wealth strategy—this is built for you.
No fluff. No motivational speeches. Just frameworks that work when you put in the work.
Real Estate That Performs
Multifamily residential properties across New Jersey. From three-family buildings to 20+ unit complexes, every acquisition is evaluated on cash flow, operational upside, and long-term hold potential. Active management. Strategic growth. Built for decades.
From Five Chairs to Scalable Systems
Started with a five-chair salon in 2016. Today we operate multiple locations and partner with independent salons to implement the systems that drove our growth. Marketing, operations, team development, profitability. Real frameworks from real experience.
Let's Build Something.
Whether you're exploring investment opportunities, looking for operational partnerships, or ready to scale your business with proven systems, we're here to talk. No pitch decks. No theoretical frameworks. Just real conversation about real opportunities.
