Company bio
đWHAT WE DO: GFC helps professionals explore business ownership opportunities in their home market. đHOW WE DO IT: Our journey begins by capturing your professional background, personality type, motivational drivers, goals and desired lifestyle. We will then use a systematic, tried-and-tested, matching process to identify the franchise brands that best fit your criteria and home market. As you explore these franchise brands, we will remain in your corner, guiding you through all the steps of the vetting process. We will loop in our network of franchise lenders, attorneys, and CPAs, along the way. đWHY IT WORKS: There are three fundamental reasons why franchisees fail. They chose a franchisor that does not support their franchisees, they chose a brand that is wrong for their local market, or they chose a brand that does not align with their individual skillset and criteria. All of these pitfalls are very real and can be very detrimental to a budding entrepreneur. Our franchise discovery process is specifically designed to mitigate these risks. More specifically, there are over 4,000 franchise concepts available in the United States; some are great, many are not, and the differences are not made easily available to the public. Our team of industry experts have spent 1,000s of hours pre-screening franchises, ensuring that you steer clear of the industryâs notable underbelly. In other words, the hardest and most time-consuming part of your franchise search is already done for you. As we work through the process together, this frees you up to devote all your attention to finding the right âfitâ for you and your home market. đSERVICES WE PROVIDE: âBusiness Profile Creation âPropriety Access to 100s of Leading Franchises âFranchise Matching Service âFranchise Discovery Process Coaching âFranchise Lending âFDD & Franchise Agreement Legal Review
