What makes FranCnsult unique?

We solve the puzzle of owning a franchise as an operator or as an investment. A franchise broker is any third party that assists the franchisor in the process of selling a franchise. All franchise consultants are franchise brokers, but few franchise brokers are consultants. As consultants, we provide a wide variety of services in nine (9) distinct service areas to the franchise industry. We have one service where Franchisors pay us to pre-qualify suitable candidates for their franchises. This provides us access and exposure to a large number of emerging as well as mature opportunities.

Why should I buy franchises?

ROI and asset appreciation.  Franchising also offers individuals the opportunity to be in business for themselves, but not by themselves. You are buying into a proven system. The Franchiser is there to provide support with all the different functions of the business. They have seen the issues that can arise in their business and know how to deal with any problems effectively. Prior to your opening, they provide extensive initial training and support so you and your day to day general manager is well prepared to handle whatever comes. They can also provide advertising and marketing support to help build your business faster. The most significant benefit to franchising is the reduced level of risk. This comes from a franchise system's brand recognition and proven method of doing business.
