OUR PROCESS
Get A Better Understanding Of How We Help You Explore Franchise Opportunities
The journey toward a successful franchise partnership begins with an open conversation. In this first step, we take the time to introduce ourselves, share our story, and learn more about you. This is not just about facts and figures—it’s about understanding your goals, interests, and vision for the future.
During this initial discussion, we’ll give you a clear overview of our franchise process, what you can expect from us, and how we’ll support you every step of the way. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and get a feel for how our brand operates.
Think of this as the starting line where we lay the groundwork for a strong and transparent partnership. After all, a great franchise relationship starts with a genuine connection and shared purpose.
Step 1: INTRODUCTION
1
In this step, we dive deeper to understand your background, goals, and financial situation, while you learn more about our business and operations. We’ll discuss your experience, skills, and timeline to ensure this opportunity aligns with your aspirations.
This open exchange helps us determine if we’re the right fit to achieve your goals and build a successful partnership.
Step 2: QUALIFYING DISCUSSIONS
2
With a clear understanding of your goals, experience, and vision, the next step is to begin the Research & Selection Process. This is where the possibilities start to take shape.
Using the information you’ve shared, we’ll tap into our extensive network of over 700 franchises to identify opportunities that align with your preferences, skills, and financial situation. Our goal is to present you with tailored options that are available in your area and have the potential to meet your business and lifestyle aspirations.
This step is all about exploration. You’ll have the chance to review and evaluate each opportunity, ask questions, and consider which path feels right for you. By the end of this process, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to take the next step in your franchising journey.
Step 3: RESEARCH & SELECTION PROCESS

We’ll introduce you to franchisors, allowing you to have direct conversations with their representatives. These discussions provide insights into the franchise’s operations, culture, and support while helping franchisors learn about you. With our guidance, you’ll be prepared to ask the right questions and evaluate if the opportunity is the right fit.
Step 4: SPEAKING TO FRANCHISERS

At this stage, it’s time to take a closer look at the details. The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is a critical legal document that outlines everything you need to know about the franchise, including fees, obligations, and the franchisor’s commitments.
We encourage you to review the FDD thoroughly with the assistance of a franchise attorney. This step ensures you fully understand the legal and financial aspects of the franchise opportunity and feel confident about moving forward.
In addition to the FDD review, you’ll have the chance to engage in Validation—conversations with existing franchisees. This is an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from those who have walked the path you’re considering. You can ask questions about their experiences, challenges, and successes, gaining real-world insights that go beyond the documentation.
This step is designed to provide you with both clarity and confidence, equipping you with all the information needed to make an informed decision about your franchise journey.
Step 5: FDD REVIEW & VALIDATION

Discovery Day is an exciting milestone in your franchising journey. It’s the moment you get to meet face-to-face with the franchisor and their team. This day is designed to give you a firsthand experience of the brand, its culture, and its operations.
Discovery Day is all about confirming that the partnership feels right for both parties. It’s an important step in building a strong and trusting relationship before moving forward.
Step 6: DISCOVERY DAY

After Discovery Day, if everything aligns and you’re ready to move forward, the final step is Closing Day. This is the moment you officially become a franchisee by signing the Franchise Agreement.
The Franchise Agreement is a formal contract that solidifies your partnership with the franchisor. Once signed, you’ll receive the tools, resources, and support you need to begin your journey as a franchise owner.
Closing Day marks the start of an exciting new chapter. With the agreement in place, you’re now ready to take the next steps toward building your business and achieving your goals.
Step 7: CLOSING DAY
