There actually are great resources for future franchise/ business owners in this country…
You just have to know how to connect with them.
List:
Small Business Administration
SBDC’s
Score
Veteran’s Resource
There are also local folks around the country who assist others with selecting the right opportunity.
In our case, the right opportunity in franchising.
Here is a glowing compliment from one of the best in the franchise industry, Sean Kelley:
Joel:
"I wish more franchise brokers/salespeople would see unethical franchise
companies as a blight and a hindrance rather than as potential clients
and co-conspirators. You obviously have the best interest of the
franchisees in mind, and are not just in it for the quick commission as
some others in the industry."
Sean was referring to my comments on the nasty situation going on at Quizno’s…The franchise owners are revolting.A large number of franchise owners paid their Franchise Fees, and never were able to open their stores.
The way I work with folks that wish to explore their options in franchise ownership {As opposed to their options working in corporate America, sometimes}, is different than most in my field. I do not work with everybody that contacts me. I do not show folks opportunities that are not affordable for their personal situations, or just because they were referred to me, and I "better show them something".
I work with folks that want my help, and I feel I can help them achieve their goals.Maybe that helps explain my light franchise candidate load lately.
For me, it is all about doing the right thing. That is what I teach my daughter, and even though she is sick of hearing it, she will be a better person as she grown up.
