The Franchise Doctor has always believed that there’s a place for small business owners to develop a franchise model for their business. When they explore the possibilities, they often encounter franchise consultants who take the approach called, “Go Big or Go Home.”
Their philosophy is; “Invest $200,000+ and shoot for the stars.” They often project 250 new franchisees within 5 years.
Our clients come from a group of business owners that prove that, for less than $50,000, they can get started and sell 3 to 5 units in year one and grow to 35 to 50 in 5 years by keeping their overhead low and financing their growth internally.
You can confirm how this works by talking to our clients.
The Franchise Doctor develops franchising programs for companies with a proven record of success. We provide all the documents and manuals that you need and we’ll train you and your staff to sell franchises. Our clients report that we offer more thorough services at lower prices than others in the field.
We currently have two Franchise Doctors—Jim Deitz and Joe McCord. Both have over 30 years of experience as Principals, Department Heads, and Employees of Franchisors and Franchisees in a variety of systems. Either Joe or Jim works one-on one with a client from start to finish on their project. This eliminates the time devoted to bringing several different consultants up to speed, a common complaint of those working with teams of “specialists” at other firms. Our clients also love that fact that we internally finance our fees by collecting them over the time of their project and we can adjust the schedule if their cashflow warrants.
Just as we believe that every American should have the opportunity to reach their goals as business owners should have the ability to invest a moderate amount of capital and grow their business through franchising over their chosen timeframe.
We believe that the better informed a buyer is, the greater the probability he or she will choose the right consulting firm for his or her needs. Our exclusive FranchiseFit Entrepreneurial Surveys and our book, Insiders’ Secrets to Buying a Franchise, help our clients find prospects that are looking for a Franchise System that makes good use of their talents and skills—in essence helping them reach their full potential.
