This is how FranNet of Minnesota plays a pivotal role in setting our clients up for success. We work with you on a personal level to understand your goals and identify the best possible franchise opportunities for you.

STEP 1: DETERMINE IF FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP IS A GOOD FIT

It starts with a conversation. One of our team members will contact you for a brief introductory conversation, we want to learn a little bit about your current situation and what information you are seeking at this time. From that point, we will walk you through crucial steps using a proven model that makes the sometimes difficult path to franchise ownership, simple and clear. We may suggest attending one of our educational events or to listen to our Rise UP Wise Podcast.

Once you've decided franchise ownership may be the right path, it's time to complete a Personal Franchise Assessment and set up an initial in person meeting with one of our franchise consultants.

STEP 2: BUILDING YOUR FRANCHISE SEARCH PLAN

Taking the first step and making a decision to go into business for yourself doesn't just happen. It takes commitment and patience. That's why every client of ours will meet with us face to face to go through a personal assessment and discuss your individual goals.

The franchise search model we create through this process will be custom tailored to your unique vision and will help you clearly define what the best franchise opportunities look like. Our franchise consultants will discuss every aspect of ownership with you, from your ideal role in the business to personal financial goals, to family life and time commitments. Once we establish your individual model, the search for the right franchise opportunity can begin.
