Similar to a real estate agent, the seller covers my bill. And, in this case, the seller is the franchise. You’ll never pay me a dime. 

Look, I don’t know what could be right for you until I get to know you better. That said, I can promise you that once you start looking behind the scenes at some high-quality franchises, you’ll probably be surprised at how they work and make money. 

I just helped a technology consultant in North Carolina who was tired of playing the corporate game get into a home services franchise with a Ferrari-like business model that is quickly becoming the brand name in a highly fragmented sector. And he’s not turning a wrench or swinging a hammer.

I also helped a Harvard-educated C-Level executive and his wife in Texas find an emerging beauty franchise that is backed by some of the smartest people I know in franchising (these guys are like the Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger of franchising to me). 

I also helped a multi-unit franchise owner with Orangetheory in the northeast who recently sold his empire for a considerable amount find an emerging franchise in the health and wellness that has quickly become a unicorn franchise of sorts. 

The first step is we hop on a call to get to know each other and figure out if there’s a fit to work together. 

If there’s a good fit, we’ll work through a simple and effective process to figure out what you want (and don’t want) in a business, nail down your budget, and teach you how to analyze a franchise. 

We basically work together to figure out what you want and make a plan to attain it.

Then, I’ll do a search for you to see what high-quality franchises are out there that check your boxes and want to expand to your area. 

And, finally, I'll give you my Franchise Investment System you can use to analyze them to figure out if they're the right fit. 

Generally speaking, you need access to between fifity thousand and a hundred thousand dollars to fund high-quality franchises with an SBA loan. There’s also a way to use pre-tax retirement funds in a 401(k) plan without paying taxes or early withdrawal penalties.

I’ll connect you with franchise funding specialists who can help you put together the right funding plan. All that said, you’ll need to have good credit and a net worth of at least a couple hundred thousand dollars.

My story in franchising started way back in 2006 when I accidentally fell into franchising straight out of grad school. I spent the next eleven years on the corporate side where I franchised two businesses - one here in the States and one internationally. 

And then one day it all changed for me and I decided to walk away from what on paper looked like a “good career path” because I was tired of making the sacrifices required to climb the corporate ladder. So, with a very young boy and girl twins, I left to do what I’m doing today. 

I’ve also owned and sold a franchise, I’m actively investing in franchise businesses, and I’ve written a book called the Franchise Investment Guide. I’m pretty sure I’ve done just about everything you can possibly do in franchising. And I absolutely love helping people explore franchising.
