–Charles Gilbert, Director of Worldwide Franchise Support and Development -
“We made the decision to franchise and began looking for a franchise consultant to help us through the process. After speaking to a number of different consultants, we decided to go with the iFranchise Group because they have a reputation for being the best in the industry. They helped us with our overall strategy, operations plan, and helped us recruit top talent which positioned Big Blue for rapid growth. [Within two years of launch, we had] already awarded over 124 new franchise locations. The upfront work that iFranchise Group did was instrumental in helping us achieve our potential. iFranchise Group is extremely knowledgeable, highly responsive, and provided us the one-on-one hand-holding that allowed us to reach our goals. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to franchise.”

Questions to ask:
Where do you want to be in five years?
What kind of capital and human resources will it take to get there?
