Nine years ago we started working with Ron to research franchise opportunities. He presented several options and he helped us select a CycleBar franchise. We have been in business seven years. Thank you Ron!

Talk to Ron

Before the first call

Questions people ask us.

Is it really free?

Franchisors pay us a one-time referral fee to see if you are a good fit for that brand. If you purchased the brand without us, you would still pay the same Franchise fee that is listed in the franchise disclosure document registered with your State. You will not pay any additional fees using our services.

Does engaging your services incur extra startup costs for me?

Never. The franchisors that we are representing pay us a referral fee based off the franchise fee. That fee remains the same whether you use our services or not. The franchise disclosure document will state the franchise fee that is registered with every State. This is how the franchisor raises the fee for you using our services.

Am I obligated to continue working with you if I decide against purchasing a franchise or business?

Absolutely not. Should you realize at any point for any reason that pursuing your entrepreneurial dream is not the right path, simply tell us and we will close your file and so will the Franchisor. You will simply be presented opportunities that are in your trade area or market. If you don’t want to take those opportunities, you will learn a lot about Franchising and we will still remain friends.

Why shouldn’t I directly contact the franchises I’m interested in?

You could do this on your own. However, oftentimes after extensive research and waiting for information, your preferred franchise choice may not align with your objectives or theirs. This is why having an experienced franchise coach by your side with your best interest in mind is a great idea. We will navigate you down the path quicker than you would do it by yourself and also you will have the opportunity to look at the territory in your area first coming from our company.

How long does the whole process take?

Each individual varies, but the process from the time that we start our introductory call to the consultation, writing a model where you start investigating franchise options in your area. This usually takes anywhere between 4 to 8 weeks to do the diligence on the concepts we present to you. It will take about 10 to 20 hours of time to make an educated decision on which brand you would go towards.
