STILL GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is franchising even right for me?
You are the only one who can decide what’s right for you. If you are looking for the highest cash flow opportunity, and don’t want to start a business and have to figure out everything on your own, then the “ business in a box” aspect of a franchise could be the shortcut that can get you to where you want to go quicker.
I don’t know which franchise I want to buy
We know. We’ll help you find it. Our Franchise Brokers have a detailed process on getting to know you, your goals, financial situation- and they go out researching for a handful of franchises that specifically align with the goals you’ve talked through together, that way your crystal clear.
What If I already know the franchise I want to Buy?
This is a scenario we have helped many clients with and one of the things that makes us unique. We can help you with the vetting, and due diligence process in an advisory/coaching capacity.
Are you guys Franchise Brokers or Franchise Consultants?
Our belief is that the traditional Franchise Broker model is broken. It’s more of a transactional sales process, and less of giving you the actual guidance, and tools you need to properly vet the businesses and reduce your risk. There is also no support after you sign your franchise agreement.But having a broker who has their finger on the pulse of franchises that can weed through a lot of the bad ones, and help you narrow it down is helpful.We take a more comprehensive approach.Providing you with one of our ZTPF™ Certified Franchise Brokers is just one leg of the four legged approach that we take, to help put you in a position to succeed.Think of it as a table, you need 4 legs. So our legs are a Franchise Broker on our team that’s certified on our system, our private ZTPF™ video training modules that provide you with everything you need A to Z, our Private Facebook Community, and then weekly zoom calls with Tariq. If you are ONLY looking for a Franchise Broker/Franchise Consultant and not interested in our system, email us at info@tariqjohnson.com and we will introduce you to one.
