About Us

If you are looking for “what’s next,” in terms of career or business ownership, I’ve probably been in your shoes. Out of college, I went the Corporate America route, changing jobs or transferring locations, working my way up the ladder. I spent 16 years in casino gaming, all with the same company and over four moves, rose from General Sales Manager to Vice President and General Manager of the company’s top EBITDA generating property. But then there was a management change and I went from the penthouse to the outhouse, in less than a year.
    A couple of years prior, my wife and I had opened a retail store, as a backup plan. Unfortunately, that business never made money and didn’t last five years. When I left gaming, I looked at other business opportunities including franchising. I chose franchising because I knew that if I combined a proven system with my talents, effort and belief, my chances of success increased dramatically. I bought a staffing/recruiting franchise and owned that business for 15 years, until I sold it.
      I have managed large business units with up to 1,000 employees and I’ve owned small businesses with only a couple employees. In recruiting, I matched people’s skills, experience and desires with careers they loved. Now, I use my knowledge and experience to match people with a business that fits their talents and skills and allows them to pursue the life they desire.

        How can we help you?
        • We’ll spend the time needed with you to understand what your goals are. Imagine buying a home or even a car without first stepping back to decide what you need and what your investment range should be? You owe it to yourself and your family to start your search with some guidelines in place–that is where we can help.
        • After we understand what your personal and professional goals are, we’ll begin contacting franchisors on your behalf. You’ll never have to visit websites, request information and then wait around to see if a franchise is potentially the right fit–we’ll do all of that for you.
        • We’ll show you franchises that you’d probably never even consider on your own. Yes, that is something that an experienced franchise professional, with a deeper understanding of the opportunities in today’s marketplace, will regularly do for their clients. If you love coffee, you’ll probably gravitate to a looking at coffee franchises, even though owning a coffee franchise has very little to do with loving coffee. You owe it to yourself to understand what franchise models best align with your existing skills and we’ll help get that picture into focus.
        • If you need financing, we can refer you to 3rd party lenders who specialize in financing franchises. All too often someone’s life’s dream of franchise ownership is squashed by their local bank’s loan officer who many have little or no experience in lending to potential franchisees.
