Step 2 - Consultation
One of our consultants will contact you to setup an appointment to discuss your goals in finding the right franchise for you. This will take about 30 minutes and can be accomplished over the phone. Understanding your particular goals and needs will allow us to find the best opportunity for you. We will set a follow up an appointment to present you with opportunities that fit your requirements.

Step 3 - Research
We take the information provided by you, research available franchises and match them with your stated goals and needs. There are more than 2,500 franchises and our goal is to identify the best 3-4 franchises that match your requirements.

Step 4 - Recommendations
We present you with the opportunities that we have identified in our research. We will also send you additional information on each one to enable you to research them in more detail. Therefore, refining the criteria for the best opportunity for you is an ongoing process.

Step 5 - Introduction to Franchiser(s)
For each of the franchise opportunities that you have an interest, we will put you in touch with exactly the right person. The Franchiser will send materials to help you become acquainted with their franchise. They will also send the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC), which is a disclosure document for their opportunity.

Step 6 - Full Life-cycle Support
Helping our clients find the right business has always been our core competency, but we also support the full business lifecycle with SBA lending (for both start-ups and ongoing growth), business insurance, merchant services and other technical and financial services.  And these services are available to ALL small to medium-sized businesses - FCI clients and non-clients alike.
