The Franchise Fitter · FranChoice · Since 2004

No obligation. No pitch. A conversation about what is possible.

The process

Owning a franchise is a big decision.

So I do not rush it. We move through four stages together, and you can pause, re-route, or step away at any point. No pressure on the clock. Only on the fit.

  1. Step 01

    Get to know you

    Let's discuss your goals, skills, interests, and investment levels. I want to understand what you are actually trying to build, financially, professionally, and personally.

    No pressure · pause anytime
  2. Step 02

    Deep dive

    We dig deeper into your preferences, lifestyle, and non-negotiables. This is where a lot of consultants skip ahead. I will not. The fit lives in the details.

  3. Step 03

    Select

    I shortlist franchise brands from a vetted catalog that match what we have uncovered. Usually two to four companies to start. Never a flood. You stay in control of which introductions you take.

  4. Step 04

    Investigation

    Validation calls with existing franchisees, FDD review, territory and financial due diligence. I walk with you the whole way. You are never handed a stack of PDFs and left to figure it out on your own.

Now the franchise investigation begins

Now the franchise investigation begins

Now you're starting the fun, exciting and a little bit scary part of the process. My advice: keep an open mind and learn all you can. Remember, you can't judge a book by its cover. So dig in. Ask the tough questions. Assess the companies through the lens of your skills and the goals you want to achieve. Then we'll narrow down the companies until we find the perfect fit. It seldom happens, but if we need to revisit companies, we will. Once in a blue moon, I may suggest that franchising isn't the right fit for you. Ruling something in is just as important as ruling something out. I want the best outcome for you.

Fit over portfolio.

I will not walk you through every brand in our portfolio. I introduce you to the two or three that actually match where you are trying to go.

Paced by you.

Some candidates move in weeks. Most take a month or two. One person took a year. Others return after a hiatus. The timeline belongs to the decision, not to me.

Kind, and encouraging.

If a brand is not the right fit, I will say so. If franchising is not the right path for you right now, I will say that, too. Always honestly. Always kindly.
