Course outline
We know who the good franchises are — we’ll show you how to find them
Setting Proper Expectations
Before you start looking, understand what you’re evaluating — and why most buyers get it wrong. Emotion, blind spots, and the six questions every serious buyer should answer.
Know the Players — and Their Motivations
Portals, sales reps, and brokers — who they work for, how they get paid, and what that means for the advice you receive. Transparency that protects you from a bad investment.
What a Full-Service Franchise Broker Actually Does
What separates a highly trained FBA broker from the typical industry player — attorneys, accountants, liability experts, third-party grades, and a process that never hands you off alone.
Vetting Franchises and Reading the FDD
With 5,000+ U.S. franchises, quality vs. hype is everything. Walk through the FDD, franchisee interviews, and how to compare brands on proven results — not sales decks.
“It’s worth pointing out that I didn’t use a broker when I decided upon Saladworks, and while I love my franchise, knowing what and how to research franchises efficiently and accurately would have streamlined my process and saved me time and money. That’s why I’m excited to be in the position of helping clients make their dreams a reality — and I’m looking forward to working with you on your journey.”
