How it works

Four steps from survey to signing.

Buying a franchise can feel overwhelming. The process makes it easy to work through: four steps, each one spelled out, and you always see which step you're on and what's left in it.

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Fit

    Who you are, what you can invest and what you want from ownership. Every brand in the catalog gets a Match score from your answers.

    What happens in this step

    • Complete the match survey. About 8 minutes.
    • Hold your intro call. Your coach has read your answers and tells you what they mean for the brands that could fit.
  2. Step 2 of 4

    Shortlist

    Your coach curates a short list from every scored brand and publishes it to your matches, with a note on each one.

    What happens in this step

    • Review your coach's matches, each with a note on why it's there.
    • Tell your coach which ones make your shortlist.
  3. Step 3 of 4

    Evaluation

    You get to know your shortlist up close. Everything lands in your portal, and your coach is on every call.

    What happens in this step

    • Receive the FDD in your document room and read it with your coach's flags beside you.
    • Meet the franchisor.
    • Speak with current owners.
    • Request your territory. The brand sees your area, never your contact details.
    • Arrange financing and advisors. Your coach introduces the funding, legal and accounting partners.
  4. Step 4 of 4

    Signing

    The visit, the offer and the agreement. Your coach prepares you for each and stays with you through training and opening.

    What happens in this step

    • Attend Discovery Day at the brand's headquarters.
    • Receive the offer.
    • Sign the franchise agreement, with your lawyer's review first.

Start with eight minutes.

Answer a few questions about your goals, budget, and timeline. Your coach reviews your answers and reaches out to set up an intro call.
