As a Certified Franchise Consultant (CFT), I assist clients in understanding the franchise industry and reaching their business ownership aspirations. My clients benefit from my advice, education, and coaching services. I introduce them to businesses that align with their backgrounds and ambitions, helping them determine whether becoming a franchisee will help them achieve their goals and is suitable for them personally. The mission of Hundred Acre Consulting is to promote community and economic development by aiding families and individuals in achieving their dreams of business ownership. I do that by starting with a portfolio exceeding 800 franchised brands across 78 industries. Hundred Acre Consulting is a comprehensive, certified franchise consulting and referral firm serving clients in the United States, Canada, and 80 countries around the world. My approach is unique as I focus on my clients’ lifestyle goals and financial objectives. I assist my clients in evaluating whether franchising is a viable option to meet their absolute goals and objectives, and if so, which business models would be most effective. For me, understanding the client's reasons comes first, followed by how they can achieve their goals, and finally, what the business does. I began consulting in the nonprofit, entertainment, and franchising sectors in early 2008. Since 1983, I have been coaching emerging and established enterprises and organizations in both the private and public sectors, focusing on business development and contributing to economic and community growth.
