Congratulations! You have taken the initiative to find out how to open a business of your own and you are wondering if franchising might be the best way to do it. I know I did before I took the plunge. You may find that the change you seek lies in franchising or you may not, but one thing is for sure: You’ve come to the right place to get the answer.

Future business owners like you have a lot at stake both personally and financially and you want someone who respects that reality. And you want expert advice from someone experienced that knows the industry and understands the personal stakes involved in launching a business.

I can deliver that perspective as a Franchise Consultant and Franchisee with MatchPoint Franchise Consulting Network. I can advise you on the next steps of successfully landing that business you want by effectively approaching franchise owners. I was a corporate Business Developer for 14 years, responsible for landing new business opportunities—securing millions in business and hundreds of new clients and meetings with prospects.

Now using the coaching techniques I have learnt over the years, I educate clients on the franchise industry, what’s needed to own a franchise, how to choose the right one, and then prepare them to land the one they want. I’m going to help you get the answers to the questions that have been floating around in your head for some time. And it won’t cost you anything. And if franchising turns out to be the right choice for you, I’m going to be your advocate throughout the process of researching, making the right franchise choice and taking the next steps to talk with real franchise owners. And that won’t cost you anything either.

In any case, you want to find something lucrative and rewarding that also makes you wake up energized each day. After working for global corporations for well over a decade, I decided I not only wanted to work for myself, but to help others do the same. It excites me to be able to help a fellow entrepreneur like you find the best franchise opportunity that fits your desired lifestyle, personal goals and financial aspirations.

That is why I became a franchisee with the MatchPoint Franchise Consulting Network.  There are over 3500 franchise companies in the marketplace and if you have never evaluated a franchise company before, it can be an ominous task. Plus it is easy to lose your objectivity, as you can get caught up with the "glitz and glamour" of a brand or idea. Thus working with a Franchise Consultant like myself – someone who has been where you are now -- who is NOT beholden to any one franchise company, will greatly reduce your chances of wasting a lot of time, money, and effort - or worse, making expensive mistakes.

Then we can talk about getting there. First, as you consider franchising, you’re going to wonder about various businesses you could open, the markets for them and the possibilities for revenue compared to the challenges of making that revenue. Secondly, and equally important, you will want to devise the best way to tell franchise owners why you’re the right person to open and run one of their franchises. I delivered both of these services to my past clients. I’ll do the same thing for you.

And this isn’t all consulting talk. At one of my past firms, I helped launch a new line of business that brought 5million pounds in revenue in just two years—and with just a team of three people! And I didn’t just coach people on the best ways to talk with executive customers—I talked with those customers myself. It’s why my clients trusted my advice. And it’s why you can trust it too.

In the past, one thing rang true for every corporate executive I coached and every one of them that I talked with as a potential customer: they are all regular everyday people with their own aspirations, needs and desires—both personal and financial.
