About us
We work with you to help you achieve your franchise goals.
Whether you’re looking for a career transition, an extra source of income or just longing to get back in the game, I can show you how to optimize your experiences, strengths and resources to become a successful business owner.
Discover your true goals so you can avoid the never ending scavenger hunt for new opportunities and find the one that is both fulfilling and puts you on a sustainable path to reaching those goals.
We have all been in your position. We were above average individuals leading above average lives. But then, we wanted more. We wanted to control our destiny, we dreamed of freedom not possible working for others, for success not diluted by the less driven.
Learn the most successful strategy for your specific interests, situation and skill set so you can take on your new challenge with competence and clarity.
We do this by fully understanding where you are trying to go and then helping YOU design a vehicle to get you there. In other words, we facilitate a conversation where we learn your hopes, dreams, interests, (and fears), and determine what skills and resources you bring to the table. We also help you define your vision.
Leverage your current skill set to build an asset with a proven formula for success, that allows you to grow into your goals and live a more rewarding life without wasting time, money or making rookie mistakes.
We introduce you to resources such as finance professionals, legal experts, and franchisers. And because our service is free to you (our compensation is much like a real estate broker or executive recruiter) our only interest is to make sure we are wasting nobody’s time.

How we work
Looking to become a franchise owner?
We have the flexibility to operate across a wide variety of fields and include franchised companies in industries such as property services, graphic design, coaching, business to business, retail, auto and many others. These could be full time, “owner-operator” or “semi-absentee” or even “executive models” (you hire a general manager and act as the president or CEO).
This is the incentive I needed to change my future.
In 2009, I bought my first franchise after being laid off from a job I loved. It was at this point, I realized that while I would always do “ok” working for others, I would never be able to achieve my life’s goals if I continued down the ‘paycheck’ path. In the end – the “shove” this company gave me was a gift – I wish I had acted sooner.
While I enjoyed operating my own business, I also was passionate about helping others start their own (non-competing!) businesses. Coincident with the sale of my franchise in 2019, I was given the opportunity to leverage this experience (and passion!) and join The Franchise Consulting Company, engaging with a diverse group of people interested in discovering more about business ownership.

Franchise Due Diligence Steps
We'll walk through the four steps WITH you - giving our best advice and making introductions along the way!
Step #1: The Introspective Self
What is my why? What are my goals and objectives? What attributes in a business are important to me?
Step #2: Understanding the Franchisor
What is my Ideal Franchise? What TYPES of franchises are there? Targeting the RIGHT businesses to investigate more deeply.
Step #3: Understanding the Franchisee
Validating claims and investigating "facts on the ground". What makes a Franchisee successful and can I do it?
Step #4: The legal and Financial Details
How am I going to pay this? How much legal review makes sense for my situation? (Spoiler alert - you should have a franchise attorney review documents PRIOR to commitment). Do I have the right finance partner in place (or do I even want one?). What is an "entity" and how do I create one?
The next thrilling adventure in your life is a step away.
