FAQs
We often hear the following questions about our Consultations.
-
There is no cost to you! We work with hundreds of Franchises Licensing and Business Opportunities and existing businesses for sale. These businesses use our services to help them find qualified and educated buyers.
Just as an employer pays a “Head Hunter” or employee placement agencies for finding the right candidates, it is similar with our consulting services. We have direct knowledge and connection to over 600 brands who pay us directly to help them find the right candidates. These brands are regulated by the FTC and are not allowed to charge you anymore when working with a consultant.
Our services can also provide you with connections to funding, legal and accounting resources for support in launching your business.
While our services can be invaluable in your search, you never pay anything to us or any additional cost for taking advantage of our Consultation and guidance.
-
No, never. The Franchisors, Licensing and Business Opportunities that we work with the understanding that when we introduce a client to them, the client has been educated about franchising and their offering.
In short, they use our services to find qualified candidates who understand their business model and who have a strong understanding of the skills they bring to the table.
-
Of course not. If at any time, and for any reason, you realize that you aren’t ready to pursue your dream, simply tell us … that is all we expect.
Through our process should you elect not to move forward, we’ll wish you the very best.
Not everyone should own their own business, so if you–or we–discover that through our exploration, we can stop or simply put the process on hold.
-
You can, but you may eventually find out (often after many hours of research and waiting for information) that the Franchises that you like may not be able to meet your goals; that is why receiving help from a trained and experienced professional can streamline your search.
We have direct access to hundreds of opportunities that understand and appreciate that we help our clients become better educated about business ownership.
In short, we can save you a lot of time and energy while getting you in front of the right people.
-
Everyone is a little different, but in general, the initial call and information gathering can take under an hour or, in some cases, up to 2 hours.
Then together, we step through our processes, taking you all the way to a decision point.
There is some personal time on the part of the client that needs to be devoted to learning, exploring, and completing a few assignments. In any case, there is never a fee, and you’ll have a much better understanding of what contributes to a successful business venture as we go through our exploration process.
By the way, and this is important, WE WILL NEVER TRY TO “SELL YOU” ANYTHING. Think of our role as an expert “tour guide.”
-
We take you through a series of short worksheets and questions where you provide information to us on carefully chosen questions that allow us to get to know you and your situation.
Then we employee Zorakle’s “SpotOn! Profile” that is scientifically developed and integrates seven statistically validated sciences that give us insights into your values and motivates, your business competencies, your cultural fit with particular franchise industries, your stage of growth fit, and your needs and wants in business.
We then use all the information you have provided, along with our knowledge of various franchise companies, to target companies that would be compatible with you, your interests, and your needs.
Again, there is no cost or obligation to you for our efforts or the profile tools used to match you to what will be great possibilities.
