Are you considering starting a franchise system or network?

I am Ken Hollowell, CEO and President of National Franchise Services.  In my 30 plus years as a franchise consultant, I have developed and consulted with thousands of business owners and those desiring to develop their concepts as a franchise and look forward to answering your questions about developing a winning franchise solution!

If you own a business, or have a business concept, but need additional capital and trained personnel to effectively expand, franchising your business can provide a realistic solution. Today, there are more than a half million retail franchises across the US and these franchise businesses generate revenues in excess of $800 billion.

However, developing a franchise should not be viewed as a cookie-cutter process or merely as an extension to your existing business.

Franchising is its own industry!

When you decide to franchise your business or concept, you are now entering into a distinct and separate business other than the business being franchised. You MUST understand what is envolved in franchising. Unfortunately, most franchise consultants are PACKAGERS and NOT consultants. National Franchise Services teaches YOU franchising and how to function as a franchisor.

Funding your franchise system and network

One of the best kept secrets in business funding is a private placement offering using a Reg D 504 Private Placement Memorandum. Using this method of financing, up to $1,000,000 can be raised during a twelve month period of time with an unlimited number of investors.

Can your business be franchised?
