Become a Franchise Consultant
Your guide to exploring franchise consulting opportunities. A low-cost, high-reward home-based business helping others find the right franchise — while earning handsome commissions from the brands they buy.
Take the First Step
Speak directly with an active consultant — not a salesperson. Free, no obligation.
While not for everyone, becoming a franchise consultant can be a great home-based business — a flexible work-life balance and financial rewards helping others identify and explore franchise opportunities while earning handsome commissions.
A franchise consultant — sometimes called a franchise broker — helps prospective business owners identify and explore franchise opportunities that fit their goals, experience, investment range and desired lifestyle.
Consultants typically work independently and are compensated by the franchisor when a client they introduce ultimately invests in a franchise. There is generally no fee to the prospective franchise owner for working with a consultant.
The role combines business consulting, relationship management, marketing and franchise education. Most consultants work remotely and can build their practice on either a full-time or part-time basis.
A rewarding business helping others win
For the right person, franchise consulting is a great home-based business — flexible, rewarding, and built on helping people find their perfect match.
Build a Flexible Business
Work from home, set your own schedule, and build your practice around your life. Franchise consulting can be operated full-time or part-time with very little overhead.
Significant Income Potential
Franchise consultants are typically paid by the franchisor when a client invests in a franchise — with commissions on a single successful placement often reaching five figures.
Help Others Succeed
Guide aspiring business owners through an important decision, helping them explore opportunities and find a franchise that fits their goals, finances, and lifestyle.
The client doesn't pay you. The franchisor does.
Franchise consultants typically provide their services to prospective franchise owners at no cost. Instead, participating franchisors pay a referral fee when a candidate introduced by the consultant ultimately invests in their franchise.
These fees can be substantial, with commissions on a single successful placement often reaching $20,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on the franchise and the consultant's broker group or organization.
That creates an unusual business model: consultants can provide valuable guidance to their clients without charging them a consulting fee, while building a business with significant income potential and relatively low overhead.
The typical franchise consultant process
Marketing
Through a number of different methods consultants produce leads for potential buyers.
Qualifying
Consultants learn to properly qualify their prospects to gauge skills, goals and more.
Matching
After qualifying, consultants find potential franchises that meet their clients' criteria.
Introducing
Once a consultant has found good matches they introduce their clients to those brands.
