Having been in the IT industry for many years, I witnessed many of my friends leaving a very tedious and demanding corporate career to open their own franchise business. I achieved my US citizenship and also wanted to pursue the American Dream of owning my own business and working for myself to support my family. My true passion was food and I have always wanted to own my own restaurant and grow a successful chain of restaurants to replace my corporate salary. Mike helped me understand how franchising works. He guided me through the discovery process and was an outstanding resource for me when it came to understanding my funding options as well as leveraging his network to help me find a seasoned franchise attorney.  I am very thankful to have leveraged Mike’s knowledge and experience since I did not know anything about franchising or  business ownership.

Mike is a hard-working go-getter and a straight shooter. I have watched Mike leverage franchising for years, from pioneering a new franchise start up to helping hundreds of franchisees through his franchise corporate positions. I had no interest in taking a corporate job and I believe in working for myself. I have always been an entrepreneur but did not think too much about franchising. Mike has been instrumental in helping me find the right franchise that aligns with my goals. He is a great coach when it comes to fit as well as understanding and navigating the franchise due-diligence process. Mike has been the key in my process of making an informed business decision.”
