Frequently asked questions
What buyers ask before scheduling a consultation.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Your consultation is completely confidential and provided at no cost. Our advisors are compensated by franchise companies, not by you.
How long does the process take?
Most clients identify the right opportunity in 4-12 weeks, depending on their goals, timeline, and decision-making process.
Do I need to know which franchise I want?
No. Most clients begin with goals, not a specific brand. We’ll help narrow the field and introduce opportunities that fit your objectives.
Will I be pressured to choose a franchise?
Never. Our role is to educate and guide, not sell. You move forward only when you’re completely comfortable.
Do you work outside the U.S.?
Yes. We assist clients throughout the United States and Canada, and support international buyers where franchise opportunities are available.
What happens to my information?
Your information remains private and confidential. It is only shared with the advisor assisting you and franchise companies you choose to explore.
