Richard Pope - Franchise Business Advisor
FRANCHISE HELP - It's FREE
- There are over 3,500 franchise brands on the market today in the U.S. Helping you find the right one for you is what I do.
- For over 20 years, FranChoice has helped thousands of people realize their dreams of business ownership. It's the result of a process that has been developed and perfected by franchise professionals with years of experience - and it's very successful.
- Our model is based on educating you to understand how franchising works. We start with a simple and confidential questionnaire followed by a personal consultation call. A profile is developed and used for your specific business search. You will be given multiple options to investigate and I will be there as a resource for you through the entire process. From start to finish, you need to be prepared to dedicate time and effort to the process.
- This is not sales - there is no pressure. You pay me nothing. If this process doesn't work for you, you can drop out. It's as simple as that.
- In addition to helping you navigate the world of franchising, I also help you identify financing resources to determine the best options for you with regards to funding your business.
QUALIFICATIONS - Franchises come in all shapes and sizes. Each franchise has a minimum net worth and liquidity requirement. For me to be able to help you, you will need a minimum net worth starting at $200,000 with good credit and cash available to invest of at least $100,000. Of course, shopping for a franchise is like shopping for anything else, the stronger you are financially, the greater your selection.
NEXT STEPS - Please request information below. I will give you a call and we'll chat for about 5-10 minutes to determine if my services are a fit for you. If they are, and you would like to work with me, I will ask you to complete the questionnaire and we'll get started.
Here are some other suggestions in the same category that you selected :

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.
