We work with hundreds of Franchisors, Licensing and Business Opportunities and even existing businesses for sale. These businesses use our services to help find qualified and educated buyers. Just as employers pay “Head Hunters” or employee placements agencies for finding them the right candidates, these companies pay us directly for helping them find the right franchisees. While our services can be invaluable, you’ll never pay anything to us, or anything additional for taking advantage of our Free Consultation.​

The Franchisors, Licensing and Business Opportunities that we work with understand that when we introduce a client to them, they’ve been educated about their offering. In short, they use our services to find qualified candidates who understand their business model and who have a strong understanding of their own skills.

If at any time, and for any reason, you realize that you aren’t ready to pursue your dream, simply tell us and we’ll wish you luck. Not everyone should own their own business, so if you–or we–discover that you may be better suited doing something else, the process can stop or simply be put on hold.

BUT - You may find out that the Franchises that you like may not be able to meet your goals. This is why receiving help from a trained professional can streamline your search. We have direct access to hundreds of opportunities. We prepare clients with an education about business ownership. In short, we can save you a lot of time and energy while getting you in front of the right people.

Everyone is a little different, but in general the initial call can take 15 minutes to determine if we should work together. If we proceed, expect additional follow up meetings that may last 45 minutes to a hour. 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.
