FranNet consultants are local franchise experts who are trained to advise you on franchise business opportunities. We're proud to say that our group is made up of past and present franchisors, as well as franchise executives, franchisees, regional and area developers, and other business professionals.

Consult the FranNet directory and list of local offices. If you do not find one that is convenient to you, call us at 1-800-FranNet (1-800-372-6638), and we will find the most suitable consultant for you.

4. Will I pay more if I work with FranNet?

FranNet services are absolutely free with no obligation on your part. Fees are paid by franchisors looking for candidates.

5. My budget is tight. Can FranNet help me reduce my expenses?

Here are some ways FranNet can help you save:

Your FranNet franchise education is free. We do the research, we identify the right business model that matches your interests and then we introduce you to franchisors who can potentially meet your expectations.

The franchise industry is a jungle. You could get lost and spend valuable dollars navigating through one franchise after another. We save you time, effort and money so you can invest in the right franchise for you.

We also recommend franchise legal experts and financial advisors you can work with.

FranNet's philosophy is simple: the more you know, the smarter your decision.

6. How will FranNet help me in the buying process?

Remember that the decision to buy is yours alone. FranNet's role is to help you select the most suitable franchise opportunities for you. This role is the most meaningful service we offer you.

Our task is to establish the rules and methods in exploring franchise opportunities. Once we've identified all of the elements that you feel are important to you, then we'll craft your business model and begin narrowing down the franchise opportunities that ideally fit you.

We also invite you to attend our educational seminars - again for free! These seminars are held regularly in various local sites, often in collaboration with interested groups such as Canadian organizations involved in franchise development, funding sources such as banks and financial advisers and other business/entrepreneurship Canadian programs.

These seminars cover topics ranging from a general overview of franchising to information on Canadian franchise regulations, franchise disclosure documents required by the government, types of franchises and more.

You also complete a Personal Franchise Assessment (PFA). This questionnaire is a tool that tells us more about you, your goals and your profile as a potential business owner. Using this tool, we tap into the most appropriate resources.

7. Why not deal directly with the franchise company I'm interested in?

You can if you want to. You certainly have that option.

But why don't you consider what FranNet has to offer? Our service allows you to learn about many different businesses all in one place.

Do you have the time and patience to explore the vast universe of franchises? Would you run the risk of landing in a big black hole?

Our experience tells us that some people don't have full knowledge of franchising. When knowledge is lacking, potential franchisors and franchisees eventually find themselves at a loss.

FranNet is committed to helping people seize the opportunity that matches their skillsets 100%.

FranNet is also passionate about the due diligence it carries out: we have a rigorous pre-screening process and proprietary profiling tool combined with a customized consultation method.

So the question you should be asking is, "Why would I want to go directly to any specific franchisor when FranNet has the information at my disposal?"
