Nicole and I are part of a Facebook group pertaining to franchise purchases. She was very active in the group - answering people's questions and offering advice. I reached out to her directly as she seemed very knowledgeable about the world of franchising and the E2 (non-immigrant visa) processes. In our initial interaction, she sent me a couple of resources to review before we had our first meeting. I knew immediately after our first interaction that Nicole was a good fit for my business partner and I. Nicole listened to our requirements and set out to find the right franchise for us. She was thorough in her investigation and analysis. Her work was professionally presented in a clear and concise manner. Being first time business owners, a lot of the franchising terminology was new to us and Nicole was patient in walking us through acronyms, concepts and processes in the franchising world. We spent a good amount of time doing our own due diligence for each of the presented franchise options. All questions asked were answered in a timely manner so that we could make a decision. Once a decision was made, Nicole continued her weekly meetings for a few more weeks to ensure that any outstanding questions and issues had been resolved. Nicole also has a vast network of trusted professionals in her tool-belt - she introduced us to a franchise attorney, immigration attorney, commercial real estate agents and accountants. We are truly appreciative of Nicole's hard work and tenacity to find the right business for us. Nicole at Franchising Smarter will always be our go-to person for anything franchise related!Sabah D.
"I have spoken to several so-called "business consultants" and "franchise brokers" when my family decided to purchase a business. Nicole was referred to us by our immigration attorney so I made sure I would commit to the process. I am brand new to the franchise world and had no idea what I wanted. Nicole was outstanding at asking questions and understanding our needs and wants. She brought options to the table we would have NEVER been able to find on our own. The best part was she walks you through all the steps of an otherwise complex process of due diligence and franchise purchasing. The video content she sends out is concise and helpful, the follow up and correspondence is organized and timely. A breath of fresh air to do business with someone of such high caliber. Thanks again Nicole!" Mimi F.
Nicole helped me navigate the Franchise world- we worked side by side selecting the right business for my personality and helped me through the process of not only selecting as business but relocating to another country- Australia to USA! She made me feel Welcome in USA and keeps in touch to ensure my mind is in the right place. A real mentor and leaderMichael S.
Nicole Kauffman is a complete professional. When my partners and I reached out to her when looking for a business to buy into, Nicole walked us through the process, never letting us experience a misstep. She has remained by our side well beyond what would be expected. She has continued to ensure we are successful by providing insight and continued advise. She has become a valued partner.”Pat G.
I worked with Nicole for 2 years, before finally pulling the trigger on a franchise myself. Her expertise, attention to detail, willingness to stand up for her clients, and calm demeanor throughout the process makes her one of the best in the industry. If you are looking for a franchise, look no further than Nicole with Franchising Smarter. Its the smartest thing you can do.Colin H.
