- Overview
Franchise Sidekick
Buying a franchise can be complicated and overwhelming. Sidekick is here to simplify the buying process and guide you through each step. Your franchise advisor will handle the due diligence for you and make sure you're set up for success. They’ll work with you to determine which franchise brand is the best fit for you, whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio, leave your 9-5, or build a business on the side.
Your franchise advisor will leverage technology to pair you with your franchise fit, provide insider information, and guide you through our proven checkpoint process, The Sidekick 7. That’s how our team has awarded 5,000+ franchise locations in the last 5 years — because we’ve got your back.
We find the best franchise brands out there, so you don’t have to. With over 4,000 franchise brands in America, how can you possibly find the time to separate the good from the exceptional? Franchise Sidekick evaluates hundreds of brands annually and only approves a select few to work with. We’re picky, so you can feel confident knowing we only pair you with the best brands.
Many of our brands have:
- Recession-Resistant Models: Most of the brands we work with are home services, which is currently a $595 BILLION industry. They make money in any economy.
- High ROI: If the return isn’t worth your time, it’s not worth ours. Our brands range from a minimum net profit margin of 25%, with some as high as 43%.
- Insane Growth: Many of our brands are emerging, meaning they’ve already proven a successful model but have room for incredible growth. On average our brands have seen about 8,413% growth (crazy, we know).
- Strong Customer Acquisition: Any business owner knows how vital this is, which is why we represent brands that attract and retain customers.
Did we mention our services are free? Just like a real estate agent is paid by the home seller, franchise advisors are paid by the brand, or franchisor. This means our services are completely free for our clients, no matter if they purchase a franchise or not.
Schedule your free 10-minute call with a Sidekick to start your journey to living life on your own terms.

PostalAnnex+
Today's busy lifestyles demand the services PostalAnnex offers. Capitalize on this demand and open your own business!! After retiring from the printing business PostalAnnex founder Jack Lentz began working out of his home as a business consultant.

As a result he created the first PostalAnnex store business franchise located next door to a post office in the University City neighborhood of San Diego CA. Our franchises serve a growing customer base of small and home-based businesses that lacks the resources our stores offer. Today's hectic lifestyle requires a one-stop service center for businesses that don't have an administrative assistant to take care of those daily errands. Saving our consumers time is what keeps them coming back. By being a local neighborhood business. "
