What Our Clients Say
Mike has been a mentor for me. Mike’s experience in the wonderful world of franchising seems endless, and he’s very generous with his knowledge. Most recently I came to a serious impasse and was considering leaving the industry. I called Mike for advice. We got on a call and he went through my process. He gave me two “tweaks” that were game-changers. No exaggeration, once again Mike’s good counsel was enormous. Thank you so much Mike!

Freequency Asked Questions
What does a franchise consultant do?
The role of a franchise consultant is to assist entrepreneurs in their road to become franchise owners; they are not salesmen. They’re assistants and coaches. A franchise broker, on the other hand, is a person who works as a representative of the franchisor’s development team, selling franchises on their behalf.
How much does franchising consulting business charge?
Yes, it’s completely free. Hundreds of franchisors, licensing and business opportunities, as well as existing companies for sale, collaborate with us. These companies enlist our assistance in locating suitable and knowledgeable purchasers. Employers pay “Head Hunters” or employee placement services to locate qualified applicants, and these corporations pay us directly to assist them in locating qualified franchisees. While our services might be very helpful, you will never be charged anything more for using our Free Consultation.
Does utilizing a Franchise Consultant increase my startup expenses?
Your startup expenses will not be impacted. When we connect a customer to a Franchisor, Licensing, or Business Opportunity, the Franchisor realizes that potential Franchisee has been informed about their offering. In a nutshell, Franchisors utilize our services to locate competent individuals that are familiar with their company concept and possess a great grasp of their own abilities.

Here are three qualifying questions to ask a franchise consultant before you interact with them:
- Is there a fee for your assistance in locating a good franchise investment?
- What is your professional background and franchising experience?
- What is the extent of your involvement in the search?
What if I don’t want to buy a Franchise or a business? Am I obligated to keep working with you?
Of course not. If you decide at any point that you are not ready to buy a franchise, please let us know and we will wish you luck. Because not everyone is cut out to be a Franchisee, if you–or we–discover that you’d be better off doing something else, the process may be halted or placed on pause.
Why can’t I simply contact the Franchises that I already know I like myself?
You can, but you may eventually find out (often after many hours of research and waiting for information) that the Franchises that you like may not be able to meet your goals, that is why receiving help from a trained professional can streamline your search. We have direct access to to hundreds of opportunities that understand and appreciate that we help our clients become better educated about business ownership. In short, we can save you a lot of time and energy while getting you in front of the right people.
How long will the Free Consultation take?
Everyone is a little different, but in general the initial call can take under an hour or in some cases may take 2 hours. In any case, there is never a fee and when completed, you’ll have a much better understanding of what contributes to a successful business venture.
