His services include evaluating your goals, experience, and personal strengths, identifying franchise opportunities that align with your objectives, guiding you through the due diligence process, and comparing different franchise business models so you can make a confident, well-informed investment decision.

A franchise coach helps simplify the process of choosing the right business by narrowing down franchise options based on your goals, budget, and experience, while also helping you compare systems, evaluate investment risks, and understand brand support.

They provide expert guidance to turn a complex decision into a clear, step-by-step path from research to ownership, helping you make more informed and confident business choices.

Franchise consulting is usually free for the buyer. The majority of franchise consultants get paid by the seller (franchisor) when they have successfully found them an ideal candidate for their business model.

Therefore, potential buyers can receive the advantage of professional advice on finding the right franchise opportunity with no additional financial burden before making a decision.

The cost of opening a franchise varies based on the type of franchise industry, brand name, city of Seattle, and what you plan to open, retail, food, or service. Service-based franchises may have smaller upfront costs as compared to retail, food, and B&M businesses that will typically be more expensive to get started with.

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.
