Hi everyone,

I've really enjoyed reading a bunch of the Forums on this site and LOVE all the helpful insight and networking.

Quick introduction- I live with my family in Chicago, IL and have been in the franchising industry and a small business owner for over a decade. I'm a franchise consultant, which means I help aspiring entrepreneurs find the best fit for business ownership. I, myself, do not sell anything, but I work as a "match maker" to help guide my candidate through a discovery process. Before you start thinking of the typical McDonalds, Dunkin, etc franchise concepts, I work with a portfolio through a company called FranChoice, where we have hand picked the top 200+ brands (out of the 4000 available concepts in the US today) and they span many different industries. Think of franchising as "a business in a box" and it comes with a Leadership team and an operational playbook to expedite your success.

If anyone is looking to leave corporate America and wants to own/start a business - please reach out!
If anyone is looking to build an asset alongside their current position to start creating an exit strategy in the next 2-5 years - reach out!
If anyone is looking for a low-touch investment where they give 5-10 hours a week, reach out.

Really excited to read more from @MJ DeMarco and get to know some of you better!

Kelly

Welcome Kelly, I moved your post to the Networking forum.

That said, I would mention that a lot of folks here are more interested in being franchisors, not franchisees.

Thanks, MJ... that's very interesting! Do you mind me asking why you think this is? Also, how many end up going through the process to becoming a franchise system?
