FAQs

Why buy a franchise?

You can be in business without being alone in your business. If you want to be in business for yourself, the franchise model is a great option. It reduces risk by giving you, the owner, a proven platform to run the business from. The franchisor provides guidance on the start-up process, operating systems, marketing, and a network of other franchisees to call on. You do not need industry specific experience to own a franchise. And there really is a model, style and investment level to fit any entrepreneur.

What is a franchise consultant/broker and what does it cost me?

A franchise consultant partners with franchise companies to help them find great candidates to become franchisees. A good consultant also guides you through the process so you can make a well-informed choice. There is no additional cost to you.
