Join us for, Franchise Your Future: Pathways to Business Ownership and Financial Freedom 

Heidi and Lane are franchise consultants with 30 years of combined experience in the industry. As owners of two successful franchises, they are dedicated to mentoring and empowering individuals to achieve business ownership through franchising, helping people break away from the 9-5 grind or scale their small business across the country. Their motto, “Franchise Your Future,” reflects their commitment to helping others live life on their own terms.


Here is what people can expect from the workshop.

2. Personalized Guidance and Expert Insights

 

• Valuable insights from your combined 30 years of franchising experience, including real-life case studies, lessons learned, and success stories.

• Clear explanations of the roles and responsibilities involved in franchise ownership and how franchising compares to independent business ownership.

 

3. Funding and Financial Strategies

 

• An overview of financing options, including the ROBS (Rollover for Business Startups) program, SBA loans, and other funding solutions.

• Guidance on building a financial strategy that aligns with their investment capabilities and long-term goals.

 

4. Actionable Steps and Resources

 

• A step-by-step plan for attendees to move forward in their franchise journey, whether they are looking to start immediately or gather more information.

• Access to a curated portfolio of 400 of the hottest franchises, offering a wide range of options across industries and investment levels.

 

5. Ongoing Support and Mentorship

 

• Introduction to the resources and mentorship available through Franchise Matchmakers, including continued support in navigating the decision-making process, understanding legal agreements, and accessing industry contacts.

 

6. A Path to Financial and Lifestyle Independence

 

• Inspiration and strategies for transitioning out of the traditional 9-5 and building a business that offers control, flexibility, and the potential to scale.

• Tips on how to manage their new venture, whether it’s as a side business or a full-time commitment, helping them understand the practical aspects of work-life balance in franchise ownership.
