5 Steps to Success

1. Profile

We want to be sure we understand you, your goals and your dreams. Our first step is to talk together. Then we’ll ask you to fill out our questionnaire. It’s only a few pages, but it will give us more insight into your goals and the kind of business opportunity that should be the right one for you.

2. Model

We will study your questionnaire and arrange a conversation, either by phone or in person. We’ll develop a model of the perfect business for you. Later, you will use this model to evaluate businesses you choose to research. This model is uniquely yours so we want to make sure you feel it’s correct. When you are satisfied that you have identified your model correctly, we will be ready to suggest business types that structurally and strategically meet your model. Best of all, you will be able to compare each business to your model, and you will have a level playing field against which to measure them.

3. Match

Once you have identified some business types that you think match your model, we’ll identify and suggest specific companies you may want to learn more about. Over the years, we have screened hundreds of franchisors and worked with thousands of people just like you. So we have a pretty good idea of the kinds of choices you’ll be faced with, and we’re here to match you with the right one.

4. Research

This may be the most important step of all. We will guide you through the entire research process, however, we can’t do your research for you. It’s your job to conduct a complete and thorough investigation of any business opportunity that you think may be right for you. We’ll even give you some sample questions and research guides to help you get started with this all-important step.

5. Purchase

When you are ready to buy, we can help you locate financing sources, franchise attorneys and other resources you may find helpful.
