Franchise Matchmaker

Matching Entrepreneurially-minded Candidates with their Ideal Franchise

Why are you here?

Owning a business has always been the American Dream.

Most people who have a job are working for a company that began as a vision by its founder, and through many trials, errors, failures and wins became a "success."

If "success" can be considered a goal, like the peak of the mountain, there are thousands of paths leading up to the summit of that mountain.

All successful business builders began with a dream. These persons assessed their talents, strengths and deepest inclinations. They also realized who they were not, by admitting weaknesses and limitations, whether physical, mental or emotional.

Combining their list of talents, treasures and inclinations and avoiding their own "albatrosses" they forged forward and created "success" for themselves.

Go It Alone?

No man is an island, and no successful business ever got there without other people to work in that business or for that business. Some of these business perfected their craft, which inspired others with a dream to want to do the same thing.

These businesses understood they had already created a system for providing a product or a service that could serve a larger community.

They began to copy and replicate the methodology of their own original concept so that other visionaries could join their team as managers, employees, vendors, etc.

This lead to more opportunities for their respective communities, enriching the world around them by expanding the great service or product that people had come to love at the original location.

By codifying and documenting the steps these founding business creators used for their original idea, and by developing training and support, they not only were able to grow vertically, but to expand out horizontally.

This is the fundamental idea behind Franchising.

Or Follow a Proven Recipe?

Following a proven step-by-step system as mapped out by the success journey of an original business, a franchise system allows other business-minded people to join in the fun without having to go through the process of building something from scratch. Just like following the recipe of a Master Chef in your own kitchen.

The franchisee can plug into to a system developed by the franchisor and have a mentor to help them launch their own "business within a business."

Got BSOD? (Bright, Shiny Object Syndrome)

Today there are thousands of such franchise models available. In fact there can be so many good franchises to choose from that candidates can become overwhelmed with "paralysis of analysis."

This is where a "franchise matchmaker" comes in. A franchise matchmaker is kind of like a Sherpa who will find the exact path up the mountain of success for each candidate according to their wants, needs, desires, inclinations, talents and gifts, financial background and other factors.

A great franchise matchmaker will have become hugely successful in his own right, and is thoroughly familiar with the world of franchising.

By spending time with a candidate, the franchise matchmaker is able to connect high-potential franchise buyers with high-potential franchise systems via an award-winning process, which is the matchmaker's "secret sauce".
