Know someone thinking about owning a franchise?
Send them my way. The call is free, there’s no pitch, and sometimes the most useful thing I can tell someone is “not yet.”
Two easy ways to make the introduction
Pick whichever feels more natural. Neither one asks you to explain franchising or follow up.
Send them a quick message
Copy this into a text or email. They book the call themselves, whenever they’re ready.
Hey, you mentioned you’ve been thinking about owning a business. I know a franchise consultant, Gabriel Arechiga, who gives a free, no-pressure second opinion. If you want, you can grab 15 minutes with him here: whatfranchisetobuy.com/book-a-free-consultation/
Email us both
This opens an email with me already copied. Add your friend’s address, and I’ll take it from there with a short, friendly reply.
Open the emailPlease ask them first. Check that your friend is open to hearing from me before you make the introduction. I’d rather someone reach out because they want to than get a call they didn’t expect.
Who I can usually help
If someone you know is in one of these spots and keeps bringing up business ownership, an introduction is worth it.
- Going through a career transitionA layoff, a restructure, or a severance package and a decision to make.
- A corporate professionalDoing well, but wants more control over their time and income.
- A veteranLeaving the service and looking for a structured path into ownership.
- A multi-unit investorAlready owns a business or units and is weighing what to add next.
Consultations are available in English and Spanish.
What happens after they reach out
- A 15-minute call about their situation. We start with their finances and timeline, not brand names.
- If franchising fits, we narrow it down. I help them read the FDD, talk to current owners, and have a franchise attorney review the FDD before they sign anything.
- If it doesn’t fit, I tell them. There’s nothing to buy from me either way.
Why I don’t pay referral fees
Some firms pay for introductions. I don’t. Franchisors pay me a placement fee when a client joins their system. That’s what keeps my service free, and it’s why I have no stake in which brand someone picks.
Paying you for an introduction would put money between you and your friend. I’d rather you send someone because you think I’ll help them make a better decision.
If they mention your name, I’ll reach out to say thank you. Anything they share with me about their finances or plans stays between us.
