about

Entrepreneur. Advisor. Launch Partner.

From operating a worm farm at age 7 to running a six-figure sno-cone stand as a teen, Matt Hanley has always been drawn to building things from the ground up. For three decades, he’s launched ventures in real estate development, commercial rehab, RV parks, mobile home communities, retail, transportation, and even a medical device company. Matt sees every Dallas business development project as a new challenge — and a new opportunity to learn, grow, and help others do the same. 

But entrepreneurship isn’t all wins and highlights. Matt knows firsthand the stress, setbacks, and late nights that come with being self-employed. That’s exactly why he created Your Business Launch or YBL for short — to offer aspiring entrepreneurs in Dallas the support and first time business owner mentoring he wishes he had early on. 

After mentoring new business owners for more than 20 years, Matt realized there was no single place to get real, actionable guidance tailored to the early stages of business development. Many aspiring entrepreneurs in Dallas have great ideas — but they get stuck on the launchpad. Whether you could use a boost in confidence, clarity, or accountability, Matt steps in with a roadmap, a plan, and the expertise to move you forward. Unlike other programs, he doesn’t just tell you what you should do; he jumps right in alongside as a partner in your success.

Why YBL Works

Matt brings together decades of experience, a vast network of trusted professionals, and a no-nonsense approach to launching and sustaining a business. You don’t have to rely on your cousin’s friend or your barber’s “guy”— Matt knows exactly who to call and when. From forming your legal structure to building your brand in Dallas and forecasting your finances, he’s your business development guide at every stage. 

Most of all, he loves helping people make the leap. 

Matt’s greatest satisfaction comes from watching people go from “someday” to “launched.” Because when you’re ready to take the first step in business development, he’s ready to walk with you. 

Matt lives in Texas with his wife, also self-employed, and their two sons.
