Thinking about owning a franchise? With hundreds of franchise options across nearly every industry—food, fitness, home services, education, and more- it can be overwhelming to figure out where to begin. That’s where franchise consultants like us can help.

We offer a complimentary service to help you explore the right franchise business. It all begins by understanding your goals, your strengths, and what you’re truly looking for in business ownership. From there, we use our insider knowledge and industry access to match you with franchise brands that align with your objectives.

Once we identify promising options, you’ll begin what’s called the franchise discovery process. Here’s a sample of what that might look like:

• Introductory Call
  Learn the basics about the franchise, their story, and what makes them unique.
  
• Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
  You’ll receive a legal document with all the essential details: investment ranges, fees, responsibilities, and more.  The franchisor will review key elements of the FDD with you.
  
• Unit Economics & Executive Calls
  You’ll deepen your understanding of how the business makes money, as well as have calls with key members of the leadership team.
  
• Validation Calls
  Speak directly with current franchise owners to ask real-world questions about their experience as business owners with that brand.
  
• Discovery Day
  Meet the franchisor’s leadership and support team in person to get a firsthand feel for the company culture and how they operate.
  
• Franchise Agreement & Funding
  If it’s a match, you’ll be awarded the territory, sign the franchise agreement, and submit your fee. (We can connect you with trusted lending partners for SBA loans, 401(k) rollovers, and more before this point.)
  
• Training & Launch
  Finally, you’ll complete onboarding and training to ensure you’re fully equipped to launch and run your business. Then, it’s go time! You’re a business owner, but not alone.  Ongoing support will now begin.

This entire journey can take weeks to a few months, depending on your pace and the brand’s process. It’s important to know: you’re never obligated to move forward until you’re 100% ready. The goal of the discovery process is to ensure that franchise ownership is the right fit for both you and the franchisor.
