The Candidates Who Succeed Here
Franchise ownership isn’t for everyone. Here’s the profile of candidates who get results with our proven process, and who should wait until the timing is right.
Who this is for
Corporate leaders with $50k+ liquid (preferably $150k+) and solid credit
Existing franchisees wanting higher-margin / lower-headcount concepts
Couples/partners ready to evaluate together and follow a proven process
Candidates aiming to sign in 8–12 weeks if the fit checks out
Who this is NOT for
Under $50k liquid with no sponsor/401k ROBS/financing path
“Set it and forget it” buyers who won’t attend validation/discovery
Tire-kickers avoiding spouse/partner involvement
Those just browsing without a realistic 8–12 week timeline.
Get matched with franchises that fix your life, not just your résumé.
No fee to candidates; we’re paid by brands. You’ll still get independent legal/finance resources
