Using a proven proprietary success system, developed by the founders who share more than 40 years experience in all aspects of franchising and business success, The Entrepreneur's Source® helps individuals find successful franchise and business opportunities that meet their goals, needs and expectations, and helps companies find the most suitable method of expansion.
Over the last few decades, Fortune 500 companies have slashed millions of jobs from their payrolls, and companies in many industries are looking for alternative, more productive methods of business expansion. Franchising has become "the single most successful marketing concept ever," according to John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends, providing an answer to both problems, as thousands of ambitious Americans find the solution to their career problems by going into business for themselves -- through franchising.
In franchising, individuals and companies profit through the "win-win" nature of an interdependent relationship. In exchange for use of a trademark, a proven system of operation, and substantial training and on-going support, an individual pays a combination of initial franchise fee and on-going fees and royalties to establish and run his or her own business -- being in business for themselves but not by themselves.
The Entrepreneur's Source® has no exclusive ties to any company. We are Client Focused in our consulting role. We help individuals find business opportunities that meet the Client's goals, needs and expectations. In our development role we help companies adopt franchising as a method of business expansion.
According to Gallup Poll statistics, while 75% of franchisees would own exactly the same franchise again, 25% were unhappy with their decision or the relationships with their franchisors. It is the mission of The Entrepreneur's Source® to help our Clients avoid falling into the latter category.
The Entrepreneur's Source® has helped more individuals go into business for themselves in a wider variety of businesses than any other firm of its kind. From dry cleaning to painting supplies, retail stores to fast food, home services to sign making, personnel services to car care centers, just to name a few. On the franchise development side, we've successfully developed child learning centers, employment and travel services, home remodeling businesses, home decorating services, wine and liquor stores, and hundreds more.
