For readers of What Franchise To Buy
Send me your shortlist.
If you have narrowed it to two or three brands and cannot tell them apart, send me the list. I will give you an honest read on how they compare — where they differ on investment and ramp, what owners tend to say when you call them, and which of them tends to suit someone in a situation like yours.
There is no charge, and there is no pitch waiting at the end of it.
What I will do
- Compare the brands you are weighing, side by side
- Tell you what the validation calls usually surface for each
- Point out where the owner’s job differs from how it was described
- Say plainly when none of them fits
What I will not do
- Read your FDD for you — that is an attorney’s job
- Tell you what you are going to earn
- Put you on a deadline
- Add you to anything you did not ask for
The brands you are weighing
Two or three is ideal. If you are earlier than that, say so — where you are in the process is useful information on its own.
A word on how I am paid, because you should not have to wonder. Franchisors pay a placement fee when a buyer moves forward. That is why this costs you nothing, and it is also why my interest is in whether a brand fits you rather than in any brand in particular. You are not required to work with me, or with any consultant, to use everything in the book.
