Franchise Outfit is a franchise coaching service. The website is the home for the coaches' work: it helps buyers find brands that fit them, and it gives your coach one system to run every conversation and every deal in.
A Match survey that takes about eight minutes and produces a Match score for every brand in the catalog.
Your coach's review of your matches before you see them, with a note on each one.
A catalog of franchise brands whose figures are checked against public sources.
A document room where FDDs and other documents are released to you and viewed in your browser.
Territory requests with a status you can see: Submitted, Checking, Available, Unavailable.
Messages with your coach, and email when something needs you.
Introductions to partners for funding, legal and accounting when you reach that step.
Free to start. There's no charge for the survey, your Match scores, or your coach's time on your intro call and your matches. What it costs you has the rest, and what it means for your coach's advice: it is the same whichever brand you choose. When a brand is not right for you, they say so. Match scores are built from your survey answers and the brand's published requirements, and your coach reviews every match before you see it.
It is not a listing site that sells your details to anyone who pays. Brands do not see your name or your exact finances. An introduced brand sees a capital band, your involvement level, your timeline and your target location, and your coach's confirmation that you're ready for an introduction. Your coach shares more in conversation at their discretion, with you in the loop.
It is not a lender, a law firm or an accountant. When you need those, your coach introduces you to partners who are.
