Let us know you're interested in exploring franchise opportunities. We will reach out to introduce himself and answer any questions about the complimentary consultation process. 

We'll request that you complete a questionnaire that helps us determine what kinds of businesses meet your needs and qualifications. We'll learn about your lifestyle, business and financial goals to identify a franchise that best meets your unique personal and professional goals.

We spend a few days doing our research based upon the information provided by you to determine the best franchises or business opportunities for you to further explore. Our goal is to identify 3-5 franchises that will be a potential match for you.

We present the opportunities identified through our research. This meeting has two main objectives.

1. Explore and Take the Next Step
If an opportunity interests you, we’ll connect you directly with the franchisor's representative. To move forward, you’ll complete a confidential questionnaire (similar to the candidate application from Step 2). This step helps confirm financial qualifications, align timelines, and ensure your family or partners are on board. It’s non-binding and simply shows you’re prepared to proceed when the right opportunity comes along.

2. Refine Your Goals
You'll have the chance to fine-tune your goals and preferences, revisiting steps as needed to ensure everything aligns perfectly.

Our goal is to guide you toward the best options, but the final decision must feel right for you and your family. We’ll continue refining until you’re confident in your choice!

For each opportunity you’re interested in, we’ll connect you with the franchisor. They’ll provide materials to introduce their business concept and send the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which is a disclosure document for their franchise opportunity.

We’ll go over key items in the Franchise Disclosure Agreement (FDD), highlighting what to focus on. You should review it thoroughly, noting any questions or concerns to discuss with the franchisor. The FDD will also include a list of franchisees and their contact information.

The franchisor will provide a list of current owners for you to contact. Ask them about their experience, why they chose the franchise, and what made them successful. This will help you assess whether you can follow a similar path to achieve success.

Always consult an attorney and accountant with franchise expertise before making your decision. We can help connect you with experienced professionals in your area.

Participate in the franchisor’s Discovery Day, where you’ll visit their location, gain key insights for your decision, and meet the team responsible for your training and ongoing support.

You have taken all of the steps up to the door, and now you must open it. Decision time! Congratulations on deciding to become a “Frantrepreneur”—a blend of entrepreneur and franchise owner. You’re embracing business ownership without reinventing the wheel!
