Use A Franchise Consultant

WHY WORK WITH A CONSULTANT?     OUR FREE SERVICE SAVES YOU MONTHS OF RESEARCH   Over the past 25 years of consulting, our company has already screened thousands of franchises.  We have already narrowed the best ones down to a few hundred that we work with regularly.  We  already know  the initial investment required, the total investment for the business, the net worth you must have to qualify, whether it can be a home based business or not, whether the market in your area is still available, what states the companies are registered in to be able to sell franchises, how long they have been franchising, how many franchises they have sold, what kind of candidates they are looking for and much, much more.  Don't waste weeks or months of your time calling dozens of companies when we can narrow the field down in a few days as to which companies are best suited for your requirements.  And it costs you nothing! Franchise consultants have access to thousands of pre-screened franchise opportunities, saving you precious time and money, so you can start your business more quickly. Franchise consultants have existing relationships with franchise companies, which often makes the entire process easier. Franchise consultants generally have extensive experience on both sides of the franchising industry and can offer sound advice, helping you to avoid common pitfalls. And all these services are free to you. YES, OUR SERVICES ARE FREE    You don't pay us anything - before, during or after you purchase the business.  We are paid a commission by the franchisor only if you buy a business.  Franchisors are willing to pay us to find them pre-screened, qualified buyers who are tailor-made for their operations.  Outsourcing this service lowers the franchisor's advertising costs and means fewer in-house sales people for them to have to support.  Unlike an in-house sales staff, they only have to pay us if we produce qualified candidates that actually buy a business from them. Plus, they don't have to pay for our workman's compensation, social security, health benefits, etc.  Very cost effective for them. THE PRICE OF THE BUSINESS IS THE SAME    That's right, the price of the business is exactly the same whether you work with a consultant or go directly to the franchisor yourself.  You will not save any money, plus you will have to do months of work that we could be doing for you for free.  For the same reasons you would use a real estate agent to help you find a house to buy, you should use a consultant to help you find the right business to buy. WE GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS   We interview you to determine what kinds of businesses meet your needs and qualifications. Then we spend a few days doing our research to find the best franchises or business opportunities that matches up best with your requirements.  At that point, we put the franchises that you are most interested in exploring further in touch with you.  We teach you what franchisors are looking for in a candidate, how to investigate a franchise, what questions to ask their franchisees, and much more. We find the best companies for you to investigate and then we hold your hand throughout the remainder of the process.  We save you time and money while we train, groom and educate you about this exciting process of starting your own business. WE DON'T SELL FRANCHISES OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES  We act as a matchmaker - not a seller.  Only the franchisor can sell you a franchise.  Only an opportunity seller will sell you their opportunity.  We are neutral and unbiased as to which business you buy. You will get no high pressure tactics from us.  Our job is to learn about your goals, educate you about buying a business, and select the very best companies that meet your requirements.  For the companies that you want to explore further, we turn you over to these companies to work with their contact person.  We teach you how to investigate the companies and their franchisees. We assist you in showing you how to do your due diligence and validation for each business.  When you make a decision, you buy from the seller - not from us. A CONSULTANT KNOWS ABOUT MANY MORE FRANCHISES THAT DON'T ADVERTISE   Many franchises sell primarily through brokers and consultants because it's so cost effective for them.  We have a database of pre-screened companies that you won't have access to.  You don't want to miss out on a wonderful business because you don't know about it.  Use our services.  That's why we're here.  Remember, it's all free. A CONSULTANT ANALYZES THE BUYER'S QUALIFICATIONS so that he/she doesn't waste energies on franchises that are not right or that he/she is not qualified to purchase.
