I have written about my field many times, and have probably not made too many friends. I am a franchise consultant, and I DO make most of my income from franchise companies who pay me a finder's fee for placing franchise candidates into their franchises. There are way too many franchise brokers out there, and a lot of them are new, and were sold a bill of good about how much money they'll make etc. 95% have NO experience in franchising. One really important thing that I'll add: Work with an experienced (2 years or more+ and FROM the franchise industry) broker who LIVES IN YOUR CITY. Would you try to buy a home from a Realtor who lives 500 miles away, and couldn't possibly know your area, and it's unique needs? Or care? Work with a LOCAL franchise broker. Keep the money flowing in YOUR neighborhood, not the out of town, "Only work with you on the phone-not face to face" brokers. The Franchise King Joel Libava Hi Mark,
You did a pretty good job with this article. I have written about my field many times, and have probably not made too many friends. I am a franchise consultant, and I DO make most of my income from franchise companies who pay me a finder’s fee for placing franchise candidates into their franchises.

There are way too many franchise brokers out there, and a lot of them are new, and were sold a bill of good about how much money they’ll make etc. 95% have NO experience in franchising.

One really important thing that I’ll add: Work with an experienced (2 years or more+ and FROM the franchise industry) broker who LIVES IN YOUR CITY. Would you try to buy a home from a Realtor who lives 500 miles away, and couldn’t possibly know your area, and it’s unique needs? Or care?

Work with a LOCAL franchise broker. Keep the money flowing in YOUR neighborhood, not the out of town, “Only work with you on the phone-not face to face” brokers.
