A franchise company licenses separate businesses to use its proprietary operations, systems and procedures. The owners of these smaller entities (franchisees) are contractually allowed to sell products and services under the franchisor’s name, business model, brand and trademark. With around three-quarters of a million franchise establishments employing 7 million people and contributing approximately $670 billion to the U.S. economy, franchising is an important business sector. WHY DO I NEED A FRANCHISE CONSULTANT? There are more than 4,000 franchise brands in the U.S., and it is almost impossible to sift through them without the assistance of an experienced consultant who can provide guidance through both knowledge and industry data. As one of the top franchise consultants at FranChoice, I have more than 35 years of experience in the field. Through FranChoice’s research and rigorous screening, I have access to a wealth of “insider” information on the industry simply not available to the public. I work with the top 20 percent of franchise brands, and they include category leaders and strong emerging brands across all major industries. My job as your franchise consultant is threefold: 1. Get you up to speed quickly on the franchising industry so you can make an informed decision. 2. Help you choose the business opportunity that meets your specific criteria and will give you the greatest potential earnings and return on investment. 3. Leverage my expertise to help you avoid the pitfalls unique to this type of business opportunity. 4. I can connect you with legal and financing resources specializing in franchising. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO USE A FRANCHISE CONSULTANT? You don’t pay for my services. I get paid by the franchisor when you are awarded the franchise you want and close the contract. It is a little like working with an executive recruiter. The hiring company compensates the recruiter for finding the perfect candidate. There are two important things worth noting: The franchise fee is the same whether you go it alone or leverage the expertise of a top franchise consultant like me. I’m an independent consultant, so I work for you. I am not a broker or salesperson, nor do I have an allegiance with any franchisors. HOW DO I KNOW IF FRANCHISING IS RIGHT FOR ME? That isn’t an easy question to answer without getting to know you a little but, rest assured, it is something we’ll go into in-depth when we start working together. In the meantime, here are a few things to consider: Buying a franchise means building your new business on a proven, ready-made concept with a tried and tested formula and an operations manual that tells you exactly what to do. If you are a wild card who enjoys experimentation, franchising may not be for you. Franchisors want entrepreneurs with management skills rather than subject matter expertise. You don’t need to be a qualified CPA to buy a franchise offering tax and financial services. Whether you want a business or to be involved in every detail, franchise opportunities exist to help you live that dream. Most of the people I work with are corporate executives looking to invest in a wealth-building business opportunity that needs minimal oversight. WHAT IS A SEMI-ABSENTEE FRANCHISE? Semi-absentee franchise models are designed to be run by a manager allowing the owner to invest 20 hours or less per week in the business. These business models come with the tools, infrastructure and protocols needed for them to function efficiently without you always being there. This type of opportunity is ideal if you want to maintain your corporate job, become semi-retired, or leverage opportunities outside your franchise to build wealth. WHAT IS THE FRANCHISEE’S ROLE IN A FRANCHISE? As the franchisee, you are the owner responsible for operating your business. And there are three franchise models to choose from. Owner-Operator Franchises As the name suggests, you would be involved in every aspect of the business and directly supervise everything from employees to quality control. This usually requires 40+ hours of owner involvement per week for the first year or two or until you have competent employees and processes. Then you can begin gradually reducing your time commitment. Semi-Absentee Franchises As a semi-absentee owner, you would operate your business on a part-time basis allowing you to maintain a corporate job or enjoy semi-retirement. Daily operations are in the hands of a manager with whom you would communicate regularly. Most semi-absentee franchise models require five to 20 hours of the owner’s time per week. Executive/Passive Franchises Although these owners are involved in their business most days, they focus on performance and planning, leaving the front-line day-to-day operations in the hands of a manager and team. Executive model franchises tend to be expensive, usually well over $1 million. The ROI is generally not as attractive as other models and there are far fewer of these types of franchises to choose from. WHAT KIND OF FRANCHISE BUSINESSES ARE AVAILABLE? The U.S. economy has more than 4,000 franchise brands. Some of the most visible brands are in fast food, but you can find profitable franchise companies in just about every industry and sector, and many non-retail concepts don’t even need premises. As a franchise consultant, I focus on the cream of the crop and show my clients business concepts that meet their criteria and offer them the best earnings and investment potential. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BUY A FRANCHISE? The level of investment needed to buy a franchise varies widely depending on the brand and this is something we will discuss in great detail once I know what you are looking for in a franchise. Most of my clients invest half a million dollars and expect a favorable return on that money. In addition to the franchise fee, you need to consider the start-up costs, operating capital and royalty fees when planning your budget. WHAT ARE THE HALLMARKS OF THE BEST FRANCHISE BRANDS? A good franchiser does all in its power to help you succeed. The best brands offer a turnkey system that includes everything you need to launch and ongoing support, training, proven processes and so much more.

I worked with Bob to help choose the best franchise opportunity for my family and myself. I’m a single father of three teenagers, work in sales for a medical device company and had been looking for a franchise opportunity for approximately two years. THE FRANCHISE WITH BOB EXPERIENCE I have always wanted a semi-absentee opportunity. I worked with a different franchise consultant before Bob, as well as navigating opportunities on my own, and didn’t have much luck identifying the right fit. Bob and I connected on LinkedIn and had our first discussion shortly after. We hit it off right away due to his professionalism and desire to get to know me and what opportunity would best align with my life. I ended up choosing Ellie Mental Health because I felt the franchise aligned with my core beliefs and financial goals. I truly feel like I had a partner in Bob and looked forward to our weekly consultations because I knew I had someone to come through for me. Bob is CONNECTED in the franchise industry, has his finger on the pulse of what’s hot and was persistent in offering me multiple options. He was patient, organized and meticulous in his follow-up. I highly recommend Bob to guide anyone through the franchise opportunity space and I will use his services again for my next endeavors. —Craig, Novi, MI × WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH BOB BERNOTAS. I am 64 years old, and I have had numerous successes and failures throughout my career. In December of last year, I received a message on my LinkedIn account from a woman who thought I might be a logical candidate for a franchise THE FRANCHISE WITH BOB EXPERIENCE Bob was amazing from the get-go. We seemed to hit it off as we were the same age, had both owned and sold businesses throughout our careers. We were both former college athletes and there was just this trust that he conveyed from the first moment we spoke. I was determined to find a flaw, a sales pitch, or something shady that would validate everything I had been thinking about, but it never appeared. Quite the contrary, in our numerous conversations, Bob always answered my questions, even if the answers were not what I hoped to hear. He was always honest and transparent. After putting many franchise options in front of me and doing our due diligence, we finally settled on The Brothers that just do Gutters franchise. The great thing about working with Bob was that it didn’t matter if he put you with a franchise that cost millions or one that cost a few thousand dollars. His cut was the same, which made me feel confident that he wasn’t just pushing me into a franchise so he could profit off of me. As I began to have conversations with The Brothers franchise folks, Bob checked in with me weekly to ensure my questions were answered and to continue to guide me through this process. When we finally took the plunge and signed on with The Brothers, I don’t think there was anyone happier for us than Bob. He also set me up with a company that put a plan together where we could take our retirement money and invest it into our operating capital without early penalties or tax implications. To be honest, Bob changed our lives. WE HAVE A ROBUST BUSINESS FOR OUR RETIREMENT We are now the proud owners of five territories for The Brothers that just do Gutters in Portland, Oregon and we believe this is the vehicle that will take us into our retirement years. If it weren’t for Bob and his honesty, integrity, transparency and good nature, this opportunity would have never presented itself to my wife and myself. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had our paths cross with Bob’s. If you are in the beginning stages of working with Bob or almost to the finish line, place all your confidence in him. It will be the best business decision you will ever make. — Joe & Lacy, Five territories in Portland South, Oregon × BOB BERNOTAS CHANGED OUR LIVES! As recent empty nesters gaining ground on retirement age, my wife and I were looking for a business investment that would help us generate a retirement income stream without having to continue working full time well into our golden years. We wanted plenty of time and resources to enjoy our retirement. THE FRANCHISE WITH BOB EXPERIENCE Bob introduced us to a variety of semi-passive franchise investments that his company vetted. Then we did our own homework as well. We found ourselves interested in every one of the franchises he recommended. Through a process of elimination and continued consultation with Bob, we selected one that checked all the boxes and aligned with our shared passion. We signed with the franchise and are well on our way to opening our first of two locations. Bob’s insight was invaluable. We had no experience with franchising, and Bob led us professionally and honorably through the selection process, never pushing us toward any opportunity. We highly recommend connecting with Bob Bernotas before moving toward franchise investment. —Scott and Leslie, Rockwall, TX × BOB PROFILED US THOROUGHLY AND UNDERSTOOD OUR GOALS. I was retiring from a career in financial planning and Gino had recently graduated from high school. I was interested in finding a business to own together so we could spend more quality time, have fun, grow and enjoy the next 10 years or so for me and beyond for Gino. THE GOAL I wanted to work with my son and help him learn, grow and build experience in real-world business. Gino and Rocco will get experience in sales, managing people and processes, working with customers, meeting new people, and gaining rewards that I feel will be better than a college degree. We chose No-H2O because of Gino’s love of cars. Especially American muscle cars. I have always enjoyed washing and detailing cars. There is an immediate reward for cleaning a car, and the customer is happy with our job, which is a big part of our everyday satisfaction. THE FRANCHISE WITH BOB EXPERIENCE Bob Bernotas introduced us to many different franchise business models he vetted based on criteria such as funding, personal circumstances and goals. We saw No-H2O, a car-related business, and loved it from the beginning. Bob profiled us thoroughly and understood our goals. After several meetings, Bob showed us different franchise opportunities and discussed matches between us and the businesses. Bob didn’t try to steer us in any way. It was an advisory relationship, and I felt he cared. Bob’s process worked well with us and I’m sure it will for other people looking for franchise business opportunities. In our case, it is a family business that I expect will result in more franchises under one umbrella corporation in the future. —Doug & Gino × BOB WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH! I HAVE SINCE REFERRED BOB TO FRIENDS! was a long-time corporate career person. As grateful as I was for the experience, I always knew I was destined to be my own boss With a work ethic that stands out, it made sense to use that drive to build something I could call my own. THE GOAL I was looking for an opportunity to deliver exponential growth in one-to-two years. I invested in Renovation Sells. I loved its low-cost relative to other franchise opportunities that required materials and brick-and-mortar costs. I also liked being in a newer franchise that had lower expenses. THE FRANCHISE WITH BOB EXPERIENCE Bob was great to work with! He explained the process clearly and concisely and understood us and our wants/needs. He made the decision process easy. I’ve since referred Bob to friends! —Katie and Jonathan, San Antonio, TX × BOB IS VERY APPROACHABLE AND PATIENT… We chose Mighty Dog Roofing because of the strong linkage with vertical services owned by the parent company and the people involved who are passionate about helping drive success with their franchisees Before becoming a franchise owner, I spent 30 years as a sourcing and supply chain executive in multiple global industries. “My upbringing includes coming from a blue-collar entrepreneurial farm family where love, hard work and accountability were highly regarded. As my wife and I approached the empty nesting phase of life, the dream of owning my own business got stronger and I saw franchising’s structure and support were a path to success,” said Tom. Over the years, Tom and his daughter Katie started to ideate the possibility of owning a business together. “We had an opportunity to buy a local business fall through in early 2022 when the seller had a change of heart. So, we began to conduct a franchise search instead,” said Katie. Katie had worked in a variety of jobs since she was 15. At the end of 2019, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Public History. She then worked for a museum until it lost funding due to COVID-19 and shut down. “My father and I had always talked about running our own business and what that might look like. We both like to give back to our community as well. It was a long a journey, but landing on franchising seemed to be the best fit for us,” she said. TOM WANTED A WAY OUT OF HIS CORPORATE JOB Tom wanted a business to roadmap him out of corporate America and create a growing family business that would become a legacy for Katie. BOB WAS A GOOD LISTENER AND PROVIDED RESOURCES Initial profiling of our background and interests was carefully listened to and then matched up to multiple businesses for us to consider. Bob was patient and connected us with resources, such as articles on overcoming fear and financial and legal experts who were invaluable to putting commitments in motion. Bob is very approachable and patient while also being efficient. He helped us focus on what was important to us and how to prepare for decision-making, including what to expect as we went through the discovery process. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND BOB TO FRIENDS? Yes. Bob’s background and expertise in multiple areas of franchising have been greatly appreciated. We are confident we have the right match for us and our business and are thankful for the help in taking this next step in our journey. —Tom and Katie, SW Michigan, MI × BOB MENTORED ME THROUGH THE FRANCHISE DECISION PROCESS. Words cannot express how grateful I am for your guidance and mentorship through the franchise research and decision process. I am so lucky that I responded to the random LinkedIn message that led to you. I appreciate how honest, encouraging and no-pressure you were. You truly listened to my needs, concerns, doubts, background, experience and excitement and led me to business ownership. I feel very supported and am thrilled for the joys and challenges ahead with Ellie Mental Health. × I LIKED BOB’S PROFESSIONALISM…HE HELPED ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY… I have been in IT for over 27 years and wanted to diversify my income streams and retirement possibilities. I looked into purchasing existing businesses and investigated different investment strategies and franchises because I had a short conversation with someone on LinkedIn who introduced me to Robert. We started talking about possibilities, and my passion was ignited to get started with a franchise. We reviewed many opportunities that fit my interests and I chose All Dry because the sector is nearly recession-proof, it provides a service that is a “need” vs. a “want”, and the All Dry family was incredible. Their support of their franchisees was evident on all the validation calls. The Franchise Revenue will Replace our Salaries My original goal was to replace my wife’s income and start to provide a retirement fund for us both. Recent 401k nose dives haven’t looked promising. Now I see the possibilities and believe it will be so much more than I thought! It will replace our incomes and let us enjoy more time with our family and grandchildren. Bob is Professional and Knows the Franchising Market Bob never pushed a brand or ever tried to make a quick buck. He really valued what was important to me and guided me with real-world experience, helping me “talk through” my thought process on each franchise we reviewed. He brought up many things I never thought of so I could have a complete picture of how things may go and make a very informed decision. I liked Bob’s professionalism and determination, even when I doubted I could purchase a franchise. He helped me every step of the way and always suggested new points of view to help me see the bigger picture. Would you Recommend Bob? YES! Absolutely and I have a few people in mind! —Kevin, Kansas City, MO × I HIGHLY ADVISE REACHING OUT TO BOB. I want to thank Bob for all his help in moving through the decision process on starting a new business venture. I knew I wanted to create a company but wasn’t sure where to start. I was looking at franchise opportunities one by one but couldn’t get any help, and each one seemed too daunting to understand. That’s when I found Bob and reached out. It was just a phenomenal experience from when we first talked to when we analyzed different models that fit my interests to making the final decision and closing. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and, as of this note, we are wrapping up our first calendar year as the owners of The Brothers that do Gutters in South Jersey. Bob was a great listener. He understood my motivation and any restrictions I may have had. He even gave me a gentle “push” on some options that worked financially and were within my interests. After narrowing it down to the final two, he was there to help guide us, never pushing a solution or a decision, just being there for advice. I cannot imagine choosing a business venture without Bob’s guidance. It was like having a free career and business counselor interested in your success. I have already recommended Bob to friends who are also starting their own entrepreneurship path. I highly advise reaching out to Bob and determining your next step in controlling your own destiny with a small business. Best of luck in your search! –Ross and LorI × BOB’S KNOWLEDGE OF THE INDUSTRY WAS INVALUABLE… I had been a franchise owner for a few years prior to working with Bob. That experience had taught me what I liked and didn’t like about franchising. Bob’s knowledge of the industry was invaluable in helping me find a franchise business that suited my needs while showing me what kind of new opportunities were out there. I highly suggest giving Bob a call and letting him walk through the options that best suit you. He really listens to your goals and then fills in the gaps in your plan. I’m very pleased with where we have landed and look forward to years of success. —Wade, Tulsa, OK × BOB MADE MY DREAM OF BUSINESS OWNERSHIP COME TRUE. I’d been trying to fulfill my dream of business ownership for three years before I met Bob. I wanted to change my career and own a business that would provide me with personal growth and financial freedom as I got closer to retirement. Although I had been a corporate employee for more than 20 years, I developed the skills required for business ownership through my job and leadership experience. The key research initiatives and comparisons I explored with Bob (in terms of growth, business and operating model, support, etc.) helped me home in on Mighty Dog Roofing. I picked this brand because it had the potential I was looking for. FRANCHISING ALLOWED ME TO EXPAND MY PORTFOLIO I wanted the ability to learn, grow a business and leverage performance KPIs in sales, profit and sales/investment ratio. I was also interested in finding an affordable investment I could scale and use to expand my portfolio for the future. BOB’S HELP WAS INVALUABLE Before meeting Bob, I was always trying to find my future. I was not happy with the progress of my research. Bob took the time to understand me. He helped me create a roadmap for the future that would take me in the right direction. The way we progressed and our conversations helped me make my decision. Bob, I would like to thank you so much for all your support. You have outstanding professional acumen and excellent industry knowledge, and I will definitely refer you to my friends. —M. Kumar, Tampa, FL × I HAVE ONLY GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT BOB. If Bob had not connected me with the right folks and helped me to navigate each franchise’s unique system and process, it would have taken me years to determine what to do, or more likely, I would have never been able to become a business owner. I have an undergraduate degree in supply chain management from the University of Kansas and an MBA in entrepreneurship and management from Southern Methodist University. Before investing in a franchise, I worked in the integrated supply chain of Textron Inc. with a heavy focus on strategic sourcing and contracts for Bell Helicopter, where I managed projects for both commercial and military programs. BOB MADE IT EASY TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY Bob took an extremely complicated and daunting process and simplified it for me. He analyzed my background and immediately connected me with all the right brands that matched my resources and experience to filter down to what interested me and would be successful down the road. WITH A FRANCHISE, BUSINESS OWNERSHIP ISN’T JUMPING OFF A CLIFF The Brothers That Just Do Gutters allowed me to transition out of my corporate career with all the benefits of a strong franchise system behind me. Knowing that I’d have an entire organization dedicated to my success alleviated my major concerns that business ownership would be like jumping off a cliff. The brand’s ROI was also attractive and they provided a business model to bring in a profit within your first year. Overall, it is a strong brand, franchise system and organization dedicated to the success of its franchisees and their employees. I would introduce Bob to anyone who ever said they were interested in owning a business or leaving the corporate world. I already sent a friend and I know they are in good hands with Bob. I only have good things to say about Bob! Thank you for all your help getting me to where I am today. —Drew, Central DFW, TX × I HAVE ALREADY RECOMMENDED BOB TO MY FRIENDS! Bob was very easy to work with. I was interested in franchises but I had no idea where to start. Bob asked me a lot of questions and presented me with a wide range of concepts. He was a great guide and presented me with more options than I even knew were possible. Bob is continuing to help and advise me as I start my business. I have already recommended Bob to my friends. Thank you! —Patrick, St. Louis, MO × BOB OFFERED A WEALTH OF FRANCHISE OPTIONS. If it was not for Bob, I would have never heard of any of the franchise opportunities I considered. I picked ALL DRY for a combination of factors, including the economics and the franchisor. Before I became a franchisee, I was an attorney. I will be recommending Bob because “I am sure I will be asked how I did it.” —FD, Ocala, FL × BOB HELPED US NARROW DOWN THE OPTIONS I worked in corporate finance for over 20 years and have a large family in Texas. We were interested in a franchise, but there are a vast number of options. Some are good, some are bad, some are affordable and some are out of our reach. Bob helped us narrow the options to a manageable list. Bob’s process is very well put together. Communication, options and his contact network for allied services are solid. I’d feel comfortable recommending Bob to my friends. —Mario & Anexidalia, Temple/Killeen, TX × I WENT FROM A CORPORATE JOB TO BUSINESS OWNER WITH BOB’S HELP Bob was referred to us by our friends who bought a franchise in Texas. My husband purchased a franchise in March 2022, so I knew Bob was the right person to help me when I was ready to leave my corporate job. I have an 18-year career in HR and employee benefits, with nine years focused on sales and consulting. Bob listened to our “wants” and presented us with relevant opportunities. He stayed in the loop with us through the discovery process and, ultimately, the final decision. I’d recommend Bob to my friends looking for a franchise venture. —MM, Birmingham, AL × BOB SAVED US MONTHS OF EFFORT There are so many franchise opportunities out there and they are not all created equal. Bob saved us a great deal of time by coming up with a shortlist of around eight achievable concepts available in our market and that fit within our home-services framework. Before purchasing the franchise, I earned an MBA and worked in management consulting, private equity deal advising, corporate strategy and commercial strategy. I’d recommend Bob to anyone considering entrepreneurship and franchising. —Adam, South Carolina × BOB WAS ALWAYS ON OUR SIDE I’m a retired military officer turned management consultant. I currently work at a large corporation as a business strategist. When my wife Krissy and I were looking to expand our horizons by setting up a revenue-generating side project, we began researching ways to start a business. Meeting Bob changed our trajectory. He explained the benefits of buying into a franchise with a tried and tested business model. While franchises aren’t a turnkey, instant-riches option, they are less risky than hanging out a shingle and hoping the customers will come. Once we’d decided franchising was the way to go, Bob provided the logic and clarity to select and evaluate viable opportunities that offered a good competitive edge. I will keep you in mind and recommend you to any of my coworkers looking for a solid opportunity. Bob, I felt like you were on my side of the table throughout the process. Zero wasted time, too. Job well done. —Benjamin and Krissy, Malvern, PA × BOB’S PROCESS IS EXCELLENT With a corporate finance, analytics and sales background, Joe wanted an expert to help him identify the right franchise investment opportunity. When he met Bob, he knew With a corporate finance, analytics and sales background, Joe wanted an expert to help him identify the right franchise investment opportunity. When he met Bob, he knew he had found the right person. “Bob was indispensable in finding the best franchise for me. He was critical from the initial conversation to guiding me through the whole process of purchasing my franchise,” said Joe. Not only does Joe think Bob’s process is great, but Joe has no hesitation in recommending Bob to his friends or anyone considering franchising as an entrepreneurial option. —Joe, Dallas, TX × I COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT BOB I’m a retired U.S. Air Force officer who went on to have a successful career in government service. I left my corporate job because I wanted to start a company and Bob helped me weigh the options between starting a private business and pursuing a franchise. Once I’d settled on the latter, we discussed the types of franchise businesses I was interested in. Then, each time we met, Bob presented a couple of different franchise concepts. BOB VETTED EVERY OPTION I was very impressed with the level of vetting and due diligence Bob put into every option he showed me. Because I was a first-time business buyer, I was grateful Bob was able to help me formulate the right questions to ask each franchise company. UNWAVERING SUPPORT Bob was always there – from the start to well after I signed the franchise agreement. He answered all my questions about funding and a myriad of other concerns about organizing my business entity. Bob was of invaluable assistance, and I honestly could not have found the franchise on my own. BOB GETS MY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION I highly recommend Bob to others. I have already referred several family members and friends considering leaving their corporate jobs. —Ali, Houston, TX × GET YOUR FREE SELF ASSESSMENT GUIDE AND DETERMINE IF COACHING MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR YOU Enter your details below and I'll send over your free self assessment guide right away to the email address you provide.
