Frequently Asked Questions

​

Why not go directly to the franchisors instead of going through a franchise consultant?

We use our franchise experience to give you all the relevant information you need while you are buying your franchise business. We know which franchises are the least risky, most reliable, and that will return the most profit for you in the business. If you are not familiar with this industry, this kind of knowledge could take several months to gather. Because we offer complimentary consultation, we feel that we are here to save you money, and time and give you peace of mind during a very important decision about your business future.

​

What will it cost me to use a franchise consultant for my franchise purchase?

You will not pay for the services that a franchise consultant offers. You will pay the published price for any franchise just as if you had gone directly to the franchisor. The franchisor absorbs all of our marketing costs. The franchisors respect consultants from our organization, commit to following the processes we set in place, and recognize the quality and fit of clients we refer to them after our franchise advice and consultations are complete. A franchise consultant is uniquely able to provide a winning scenario for the investor and the franchisor.

​

Will I pay more for the franchise if I use your services?

No. You will pay the published price for any franchise, just as if you had gone directly to the seller. The seller absorbs our costs.

​

I'm getting a lot of calls from multiple franchise consultants! How do I choose the best one?

You don't have to choose. All of our services are free to you. Work with one that you feel most comfortable and we hope that is us! As a registered franchise consultant, we have access to every franchise available in the U.S. and have vetted the best ones for you. We are passionate about people like you owning your business and your future. Our organization has 30 years of success and we are rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau but most importantly, we care about your future and we will stick with you until you find the right business.

What type of businesses do you represent?

A cross-section of hundreds of franchises, full and part-time, small-to-large investment, nationally known to start-ups. However, if you have a specific franchise in mind, we have the inside track to connect you with thousands more.

​

Do you charge any up-front fees to the purchaser?

No. You never pay us for any of our work, before or after the purchase. We work by commissions paid by the sellers of the franchise businesses.

​

Why should I buy a franchised business?

Landlords love franchises because of a stable track record, a proven system, and an ongoing business model. Last year, 43% of all retail goods and services were sold through franchised outlets. You are in business for yourself, but never by yourself.

​

Do I need to know the industry to buy the franchise?

Absolutely not. In fact, most companies prefer that you have no experience in the industry prior to owning the franchise. Franchisors want people who can motivate employees, close sales, and manage efficient operations. They do not want their owners doing the labor, but running the business. Typically in this equation, the franchisee is the manager, not the labor.

​

How does it work? How will you find the best franchise opportunity for me?

We want to match you with a business that meets your specific criteria. But we can’t do that unless we know what those criteria are. We learn these criteria by asking you questions designed to help us narrow our search and provide you with the best matches. Here are a few examples of what we might ask:

 

• Why do you want to own your own business?

• Have you owned your own business before now?

• How many hours and what time of day do you like to work?

• Is there a certain location you desire?

• How does managing people make you feel?

• What kind of capital do you have available to start your business?

• Are there partners involved?

• Do you want to have more than one business?

• When do you want to open your door for business?

• Will you be available full-time or part-time?

​

Once we answer these questions along with several others, we create a personal profile for you and use it to research franchise options. The consultation process makes it easier to match you with a few opportunities that meet your specific criteria. With just a few opportunities to evaluate, you save a lot of time and effort.

​

There are over 3,000 franchise opportunities available to you. Sifting through them all can take months for a person without our knowledge of the industry. Many people get frustrated and give up. Using our service can help you avoid this situation and put you on the path to owning your own business that has everything you want.
