Q.        What is Ideal Franchise Consultants, LLC?

A.         We are advisors that help our clients establish their own business.  We help our clients develop their business needs and requirements and introduce them to business opportunities that meet those needs.  We represent our clients and are totally independent of and not employed by any franchise or business opportunity company. 

Q.        Why deal with Ideal Franchise Consultants?

A.         We offer one-stop shopping for all your entrepreneurial needs with the advantage of time saving research and business matching performed at no cost to you.

Q.        Do I pay more for a franchise by dealing with Ideal Franchise Consultants?

A.         No. You will pay the published price for any franchise just as if you had gone directly to the franchisor. The franchisor absorbs our marketing costs.

Q.        What types of businesses does Ideal Franchise Consultants represent?

A.         A cross-section of hundreds of different businesses, full and part-time, small-to-large investment, nationally known to start-ups.

Q.        Does Ideal Franchise Consultants charge any up-front fees to clients?

A.         No. You never pay us for any of our work, before or after the purchase. Our income is earned by commissions paid to us by the business owners.

Q.        Does Ideal Franchise Consultants offer training, advice, or counsel?

A.         No. We leave that to the professionals. We are careful to represent only the highest quality businesses and we carefully research any business before adding it to our listing. But we also recommend that you seek advice from a qualified attorney or CPA before making a major business purchase decision.

Q.        How does Ideal Franchise Consultants differ from a standard business brokerage?

A.         A business brokerage generally only lists and sells existing businesses, often including real estate and leases in the sale. While we can also perform that function, we primarily deal with helping clients establish new businesses, either from franchises or other types of business opportunities.

Q.        Why should I invest in a franchised business?

A.         US Government statistics show that over 90% of businesses started from an existing franchise or business opportunity are still in business after 10 years, and an overwhelming majority of which are owned by the original owner.  Conversely, over 80% of businesses not started through a franchise have failed in the same 10 year period.
