How much does it cost to work with a consultant?
There is no charge to work with a franchise consultant.
If I work with a franchise consultant, do I end up paying a higher
franchise fee?
You will pay the same franchise fee regardless of the involvement of a franchise
consultant.
If I go directly to the franchise, will they negotiate the franchise
fee because I didn’t use a franchise consultant?
No. Franchise fees are not negotiable. They will not charge you a lower fee for
going directly to the franchise.
How does a franchise consultant get paid?
Franchise consultants are paid by the franchisor to find qualified candidates for
their opportunity. Consultants get paid much like a recruiter. When we find a good
fit between a franchisor and a potential franchisee…it is a win-win situation for
everyone!
Wouldn’t it be easier to look on the Internet and get a list of
available franchises?
You can get lists of franchises off the Internet but it can be overwhelming with all of
the opportunities available. A franchise consultant can help narrow the field and
only show you opportunities that will be a good fit for you and are available in the
area in which you are interested.
How much money do I need to buy a franchise?
Typically, you will need about $40,000 cash and the rest can be financed.
