About Us

Eric is a great example of someone who has successfully transitioned from a long career in management to becoming a business owner. His experience is a perfect illustration of how a franchise consultant can help someone navigate the complexities of buying a franchise.

A franchise consultant, also known as a franchise broker or advisor, is a professional who guides individuals through the process of selecting and purchasing a franchise. Their role is to act as a matchmaker, connecting prospective franchisees with franchise opportunities that align with their skills, interests, financial capacity, and lifestyle goals.

Ultimately, Eric’s positive experience with a franchise consultant helped match him to a franchise. He is still part of that franchise and the franchise consultant experience was so impactful that he decided to pursue a new career helping others do the same.

How can we help you?
  • We’ll spend the time needed with you to understand what your goals are. Imagine buying a home or even a car without first stepping back to decide what you need and what your investment range should be? You owe it to yourself and your family to start your search with some guidelines in place–that is where we can help.
  • After we understand what your personal and professional goals are, we’ll begin contacting franchisors on your behalf. You’ll never have to visit websites, request information and then wait around to see if a franchise is potentially the right fit–we’ll do all of that for you.
  • We’ll show you franchises that you’d probably never even consider on your own. Yes, that is something that an experienced franchise professional, with a deeper understanding of the opportunities in today’s marketplace, will regularly do for their clients. If you love coffee, you’ll probably gravitate to a looking at coffee franchises, even though owning a coffee franchise has very little to do with loving coffee. You owe it to yourself to understand what franchise models best align with your existing skills and we’ll help get that picture into focus.
  • If you need financing, we can refer you to 3rd party lenders who specialize in financing franchises. All too often someone’s life’s dream of franchise ownership is squashed by their local bank’s loan officer who many have little or no experience in lending to potential franchisees.
