Does This Sound Like You?

You know you want the freedom of an entrepreneurial life but don’t know where to start. You have been researching a few well known franchise brands but nothing is resonating with you. The research seems endless and the information is leaving you with more questions than when you started.

Choosing to become a small business owner is scary enough – the endless research and options are starting to detour your excitement and delay your plans to dive into entrepreneurship.

Did You Know There Are Over 3,000 Franchise Brands?

You can likely think of 5, or maybe even 10 franchise brands off the top of your head – but there are thousands of brands looking for entrepreneurial spirits just like you!

While this creates enormous opportunity, franchising is not one size fits all. I have the ability to do a thorough and customized search based on your interests, personality and goals to find a brand that fits your dream lifestyle!

Why Franchise?

When you invest in a franchise, you get the backing of an established team. The franchisor provides you with a proven model, an established product or service, a clear marketing strategy, training, support, and in some cases brand-name recognition. The franchisor will also be a trusted source when you need advice. You’ll be going into business for yourself – but not by yourself.

Who Succeeds In Franchising?

Those who succeed in franchising have an unrelenting drive and dedication. They’re open-minded and serious about taking control of their life. Successful franchisees are able to follow a plan to reach their goals and utilize the franchise resources when they need help.

Will You Be Able To Afford It?

Funding a franchise is a bit different than funding a startup because of the high probability of success (and thus lower risk) of franchisees. Throughout the entire franchise industry you will find a wide range of investment levels. Whether you are considering a food, brick-and-mortar or service-based business one of our industry specific finance specialists can help make that a reality at almost any budget.

Stop The Endless Searching

A person with your drive and ambition should not be forced to sift through hours of confusing research. With so many industries, brands and funding options you need clear information tailored specific to you.

What Industries Are Available?

It is easy to get overwhelmed with the number of industries and brands available. But more industries means more opportunities! The key is to narrow down the list to brands that align with your financial and lifestyle goals as well as your personality and interests.

Now Successful Entrepreneurs Navigate The Process Of Finding
And Securing Their Dream Business Through Franchising.

My partner and I started working with Jim after one of the franchises we were interested in recommended we contact him for guidance. Jim took a good look at our current situation and helped us determine where we wanted a franchise to help us go. Jim is very knowledgeable about the franchise industry and helped calm our nerves and negotiate on our behalf when necessary. We will definitely continue to use Jim as we expand our franchising empire.

I had a really good experience with Jim! He is very ethical and trustworthy, so I knew he would lead me in a direction that made me feel comfortable. I had a sense of what I wanted in a franchise before I contacted him, so once we started working together, he quickly matched my goals with Restoration 1. Not only that, but he spoke to the company’s CEO and area developer in order to get me into an event for current franchisees! Having a consultant is so important to guide you through the process and having someone ethical like Jim is critical.

When I first started thinking about franchising I was doing the research myself, but it became overwhelming quickly. I’m glad I connected with Jim because he brought a real objectivity to the process. He helped me narrow down what was important to me so we could select a few franchises for consideration. There are thousands of choices when it comes to franchises, so having an expert like Jim help me determine my priorities, and then find a good franchising fit was a real plus.

Jim was instrumental providing a wide range of opportunities based on my discussions with him. He tempered that against my risk tolerance to find the franchise that suited me best. He listened to what I wanted and made sure we found a franchise that fit my life. He was very patient and very thorough. His follow-up was excellent as well. He kept track of where I was in the process and made sure things were staying on track. I’m happy to recommend him to anyone thinking about franchising.

I can’t say enough about the job Jim Judy did for my family. When we decided to pursue a franchise, we weren’t sure where to begin. Jim served as a steady guide through the process. He helped us decide what we wanted out of life as entrepreneurs, narrow down our options, choose financing and select the right franchise to join. I would recommend Jim to anyone considering a future in franchising.

I would never have found my franchising opportunity without Jim Judy. We talked several times before he ever suggested any franchises. He learned about my wife and I, what are goals and dreams were, then matched us with a franchise that fit that lifestyle. He took his time with us to make sure we got it right and we couldn’t be happier.

I had fiddled around with a few concepts on my own, but I really couldn’t put it all together. I called Jim, we began a conversation, and as he started to understand more about me, he suggested some concepts that he thought might work. Two months of consultation resulted in us landing in the perfect franchise for what we wanted our lives to look like. Jim is a consultant, not a salesman. I highly recommend giving him a call.
