Your goals and budget. We start by understanding what you actually want out of business ownership — and what investment range makes sense for you, before you look at a single franchise.
A personalized shortlist. Based on your goals, skills, and budget, we'll point you toward franchise opportunities that fit — including ones you'd probably never find searching on your own.
Financing options. If funding is a factor, we'll walk through what's available — SBA loans, alternative lenders, and other paths — so you know what's realistic before you fall in love with an opportunity.Bullet List 4
How the process works. We'll explain what happens after the call: how we work with franchisors on your behalf, what a typical timeline looks like, and what you can expect from us at each step.
No pressure, no cost. This call is free and always will be — our fee is paid by the franchisor when there's a match, never by you. If it's not the right time for you to move forward, that's fine too.
I'm MIke Pierce, co-founder of Professional Franchise Brokers alongside my wife, Laura. Between us, we bring over 25 years of business experience and 20+ years in franchising — not just as consultants, but as former franchise owners ourselves. We bought our first franchise in 2001, grew it to four territories and over 100 employees, and served on our franchisor's National Advisory Board. That hands-on experience is why we do this: we know what it actually takes to succeed as a business owner, and we use it to help you avoid the mistakes we learned the hard way. We're proud members of the International Franchise Professionals Group (IFPG).
