TEAM Rennick
Buying a Franchise
My role as your franchise consultant is to build a win-win relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee. This is the key to success.
As your franchise consultant and advocate, I will assist you in identifying a suitable franchise.
The sheer number of opportunities available can be overwhelming, and we will work together to identify the concepts that best fit your particular skills, interests, time commitment, business experience and available investment funds.
We will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each concept, including market opportunity, competition, growth potential, sales programs, marketing materials, training, and support, so that you can choose the opportunity that is the best match for you.
If you are interested in buying a franchise, you can learn more about my thoughts and perspectives on some of the very important issues you need to consider before making your decision, by watching my interviews on SBTV, the Small Business Television Network.
