2. Mix in Your Certified Franchise Advisors for Your Recipe's Success
When you add us as your Certified Franchise Advisors, you get expert guidance and support for your success and prosperity, wherever you fit in the franchising collaboration.
We help:
- Business owners with Franchise Development to turn their existing business into a franchise. They become Franchisors who can grow their business and their wealth faster and beyond what they could do alone.
- Existing Franchisors who may use a Franchise Refresh to position their franchise to grow, especially when they're stuck at 10 or less franchise units sold, and that's a pickle in which a majority of Franchisors find themselves.
- Prospective Franchise Buyers with Coaching, Consulting and Brokerage Services so they buy a franchise that will be right for them and serve their dreams and goals. We also help them qualify to buy because you can't just go buy a franchise: you have to qualify to own one.
- Franchisees with Success Optimization so they can grow sales and maximize profits from their franchise investment. We also specialize in helping Franchisees position themselves to own multiple franchise units with innovative strategies for success and wealth.

We Deliver
Sure, we can serve you up a franchise to buy or sell.
But why end the menu there?
Okay, enough with the restaurant business metaphors.
We're different. We're not like some franchise brokers and consultants who are just out to make a buck. Your long-term success is how we measure our success.
We understand that you may have your life savings on the table.
So here's some of what we can help you do:
Start a Business
We can help you:
- Figure out what kind of business will fit you, your life, your leadership and your work style.
- Analyze how financially prepared you are to be self-employed and if you're not yet, what you need to do to get ready.
- Choose whether to create a new business or buy a franchise so you can be in business for yourself but not by yourself.
- Develop what you need to open your business: your service or product niche, value proposition, market strategy, branding, projected cash flow, financing options, and more.
- Launch and run your business for success with ongoing support, analysis and strategies as you adjust to changing market conditions.
Buy and Grow Your Franchise Unit(s)
We can help you:
- Find franchise options that fit you, your life and your income and wealth-building goals and know which franchises are best for you.
- Qualify to buy a franchise that's right for you (because you can't just buy a franchise, you have to qualify with the Franchisor to own it).
- Grow your new franchise business so you can position yourself for success and future wealth.
- Prepare you to build wealth through strategic business ownership so you'll be ready for more. You can find more details on that below.
Franchise Your Existing Business
We can help you:

- A strong brand.
- A duplicatable business system.
- Training and support for the people who buy your franchise units, your franchisees who will invest as your new collaborative partners for wealth.
- Set up your franchise documents, systems, and all aspects of successful franchise development.
- Launch and grow your new franchise system through a full range of services. See "Manage and Grow Your Franchise System".
Refresh Your Franchise
Have you sold 10 or fewer franchise units? Are your sales stuck in a slump?
We can help you:
- Refresh your existing franchise.
- Sell more franchise units.
You'll be pleasantly surprised at what our innovative analyses, strategies and approaches can do for your franchise investment. It all starts with a Free Discovery Call. Book yours today!

- Franchise Sales
- Human Resources
- Marketing

Got a 'short order' not on the menu? Just ask us about what you need! You'll find that we love being resourceful.
Area Developer Support
Your franchise responsibilities don't include having to do it all by yourself, or even all by your staff.
We can help you with all the items mentioned on our page here, plus-sized to serve your operation.
You've taken on Area Developer-sized responsibilities. Now let us help you reap the rewards for your investments.
If you're not an Area Developer yet and would like to be, let us introduce you to some great opportunities!
Build Wealth through Strategic Business Ownership
One business alone is seldom enough to generate legacy wealth.
We can help you:
- Invest in multiple business units (franchise or not) so that you capture more sales in a given market and add market share to your business or franchise.
- Invest as a partner in a business without having to run the business yourself for a much higher return on your investment than other more traditional investments.
- Our strategies for building wealth through multiple business ownership are proven innovations that help real people escape economic slavery. Let us show you how.

One Simple Reason You Want Certified Franchise Advisors (CFAs) at Your Table:
TRUST
As CFAs, we're experts with integrity in business and in the franchising industry. When you need someone who both knows what they're doing and serves your best interests, choose a Certified Franchise Advisor to get the job done.
Exceptionally Well Trained
We're trained through and certified by the National Franchise Association, the most rigorous training available for people serving the franchising industry.
In our case, we're personally trained and mentored by Dr. Robert A. Needham, who is a leading expert in the franchising industry and serves as NFA's Director of Education and Strategy.
Dr. Robert A. Needham developed this course exclusively for NFA and taught it live to our small group of team members from his firm, Collaborative Franchise Systems.
Dr. Needham developed the NFA's Certified Franchise Advisor (CFA) certification program under Instructional Systems Design (ISD) standards. As a former NASA rocket scientist who worked in the space shuttle program, he believes that accuracy, depth of knowledge and skill matter.
CFA Code of Ethics
As Certified Franchise Advisors, we uphold the CFA Code of Ethics, the highest professional standards in the franchising industry. We seek to do good and do no harm to any party we serve, regardless of who pays us, and to be truthful, honest and trustworthy in working with you.
When you work with a CFA, you're in good hands.
Serving Both Franchise Buyers and Sellers
As Certified Franchise Advisors, we are well trained in analysis, strategy, marketing, and ethical representation of both Buyers and Sellers in the marketplace.
Our goal is for everyone to win, together.
No matter who pays us, we're bringing the best we have to the table for everyone.
Your Trusted Advisors
As Certified Franchise Advisors, we're trained to advise Franchisors on financial and market analysis, home office operations, franchise marketing and sales, and other business strategies for success and building wealth.
We also coach, consult for and advise Franchisees on how to successfully operate a franchise unit, increase sales and profits, and position themselves to buy and operate multiple business units to grow their wealth.
When Area Developers bring us on as collaborative partners, we can help them find qualified franchisees to add more franchise units to their territory and help them support franchisees for mutual success.
Whatever your role, we've got you.
Proprietary Methods and Analysis
As Certified Franchise Advisors, we're trained to apply proprietary modeling and methods in our analysis and strategies to help Franchisors, Franchisees, other business owners and investors succeed.
We know how to develop existing businesses into franchisors that are competitively priced and targeted with a “story” that motivates franchise buyers even in the earliest phases of being a Franchisor.
As CFAs we also specialize in validation of business concepts and franchise opportunities using proven, time-tested business techniques and analyses.
Our proprietary methods come from the innovative genius of our mentor and trainer Dr. Robert A. Needham, who is a leading expert in the franchising industry. He also holds a law degree and PhD in Business Administration. He is a mathematician, computer science guy, economist, author of 23 books. You may really enjoy this book by Dr. Needham:
Escaping Economic Slavery: A Journey from Scarcity to Abundance through Sharing Capitalism

What's a Certified Franchise Advisor?
A Certified Franchise Advisor (CFA) is a professional who has received certification from a recognized organization, such as National Franchise Alliance (NFA) in the franchise industry. CFAs have completed a training program and passed an exam to demonstrate their expertise in franchise-related topics such as franchise laws, franchise selection and evaluation, franchise operations and management, franchise strategy, franchisor development and franchise financing.
The role of a CFA is to provide unbiased and professional advice to individuals and businesses who want to invest in, develop, or refresh a franchise business. CFAs help clients understand the franchise model, evaluate franchise opportunities, increase franchise success, and make informed decisions about franchise ownership. CFAs also act as an intermediary between the franchisor and the franchisee, providing guidance and support throughout the entire franchise process. A CFA can provide you with coaching, consulting and strategicadvisory in all areas of your franchise business.
A CFA on your team can benefit you and your business. Using their comprehensive understanding of the franchise industry, a CFA can help you navigate the complex process of choosing, investing, developing and growing your franchise business.
CFAs are trained in all aspects of business operations and strategy, not just franchising. A CFA can also help you achieve your dreams through strategic business ownership, from choosing your business vehicle to developing your business idea, creating your startup, and growing your existing business.
