Diversified Economy

Portland’s diverse economy, spanning technology, health care, manufacturing, and professional services, helps support stability during recessions and major economic shifts.

Questions, answered

Before you book a call

A franchise consultant will assist in evaluating all potential franchise opportunities that meet your needs, goals, budget, and experience, researching franchises, comparing franchises, and assisting in selecting a franchise model to fit your business objectives and lifestyle.

The franchise consultant can assist you during the pre-franchise ownership stages, conducting initial research, validating the franchise opportunity, and preparing you for launching your new franchise. They also guide you through research, validation, and launch preparation.

You may want to consider the franchise coach’s experience, their level of industry knowledge, and the degree to which they offer one-on-one support.

A good franchise consultant will assist you in evaluating possible franchise opportunities, learning about the day-to-day operation of a franchise, assist in determining if you have sufficient funds to invest in a franchise, and assist in ensuring that your long-term business goals are aligned with your investment.

In many cases, franchise consulting services are provided for free to those seeking franchises. Franchise consultants are usually paid by the franchise brand that has been matched as an ideal fit for their client.

Investment requirements vary depending on the franchise industry and business model. Many franchise opportunities require between $50,000 and $250,000 or more, including franchise fees, equipment, commercial real estate expenses, and working capital.

Portland has a wide array of economic opportunities, a high level of consumer spending, an entrepreneurial spirit, and growing industry demand. This creates the perfect environment for franchises to run consistently, grow over time, and succeed as businesses.

Due to its large metropolitan area, various types of industries, and consistent consumer spending levels, Portland can make sense for individuals seeking to invest in their own E-2 Treaty Investor Visa franchise. With that being said, there are many franchises available today that have the ability to create jobs, which would be beneficial for those investing under this type of visa.

I would tell people to work with Adam because he is genuine. As a first time investigator of franchising, Adam took the time up front to ask me really thoughtful questions about my goals and aspirations for owning a business and took my information to provide really thoughtful recommendations. He provided me with resources of all avenues from navigating conversations with franchises, financial advisors, and much more. I felt that Adam genuinely cared about my success and has been extremely patient with me throughout the process. He describes it as "my own journey" so if there is something in the process that feels off, Adam is open to helping me work through it, or move onto the next step. From day one working with Adam, it's always been about what's in my best interest.

If you are interested in learning more about franchise opportunities and would like assistance in narrowing down opportunities and how to navigate the decision process I would recommend you reach out to Adam. He does not charge a fee and did not pressure me to commit even after meeting with me multiple times, summarizing my interests, and reaching out to franchisers to set up interviews. Highly recommend him if you are looking for somebody professional, personable, responsive and knowledgeable to navigate you through the process of learning about owning your business and how to select the best one for you.

Adam reached out to me via LinkedIn at the perfect time when I was looking for a career change. I had toyed with the idea of a franchise for a couple of years, but really didn't know how to even get started. Adam got to know me and my wife over the course of a couple of phone calls, and gave us three fantastic options of franchises that were good fits for us and for our location. Four months later, we are signing a franchise agreement and can't wait to get started with our new lives as business owners. I just don't see how I could have found such a great fit without Adam's help.

If you are interested in franchise ownership and looking for someone to guide you through the process, Adam should be the first person you call. He was a good coach to me- providing resources, pointing me in the right direction, to help me learn and determine best fit possibilities for me. He does not judge nor critique my decisions. He listened, stayed engaged, and guided me through the entire process.
