Working with Gary is an amazing professional experience! We’ve been working with him since June 2018 with great results. A boutique firm that makes you feel you’re their most important client… [and a] great fit for taking you step by step through the franchisor process––fast. Highly recommend!

We conduct an in-depth brand and business evaluation to help enhance franchise operations while still preserving the core values of your original concept.
As part of our ongoing consulting process, we coach, motivate, and mentor you and your in-house team, helping to illuminate the “dos” and “don’ts” of franchise best practices and sales.
As an emerging franchisor, I’ve found Gary to be crucial to my franchise growth. The amount of knowledge that he brings from his 30+ years of experience can be somewhat intimidating at first, but Gary does a great job in breaking it down step by step. His team of personnel––from operations to marketing––is a huge help as well.
I would highly recommend Gary and his team to anyone looking to expand their business system through the franchising model who has no idea where to begin or how to get started. Even if you have some experience in franchising (as I did), it’s nothing compared to what you’ll continue to learn from Gary.
Gary doesn’t just sell franchises, he’s a coach, a mentor, a teacher, and, most importantly, a friend.

FGS franchise consulting provides clients with access to a complete outsourced roster of experienced franchise experts across a wide variety of disciplines including franchise sales, brand concept and development, strategic planning, real estate/architectural development, and vendor management, as well as lead generation, advertising, marketing, and PR (plus social media campaigns).
I personally believe engaging with Gary and his team has been a huge success for us and well worth the expenditure. If I was to do it again, without a doubt I would work with Gary and his team. The process has been around 6 plus months for us, along the way we have gained significant knowledge that has actually helped us increase profitability. Some of the major things we learned were: Marketing strategies, Process improvements, Process efficiencies, Cost reduction, Streamlining. Overall great success!

Over the years, Franchise Growth Solutions has developed deep, lasting relationships with numerous local and national lending institutions. If you have a qualified prospect or an existing franchisee looking to supplement their investment with debt, we can help. Our contacts have closed thousands of franchise lending transactions and they stand ready to assist. Here’s just a short list of the companies we can recommend:
Private equity (PE) firms have recently begun capitalizing on the benefits of franchise system investments. These days, PE firms will often seek out investments in franchisors of all sizes, as well as in large-scale franchisees who operate several units within a particular brand (or multiple brands).
This pursuit currently shows no signs of stopping.
As a result, we offer our clients all the guidance they’ll need to scale up their franchise system and make it an attractive target for PE investments (or, at the very least, prepare it for proper presentation to an investment firm).
Plus, our expertise enables us to uncover the elusive franchise entity “sweet spot” for each of our member clients. This means we can help spotlight those franchise qualities PE firms and other outside investors will actively search for before deciding on an investment.
For example, we can help “untangle” your systems, allowing you to showcase those aspects of your business most critical to capital raise success, such as:
• How you set up your initial franchise.
• How you grow your franchise program.
• Whether you can “prove out” specific items that match the criteria for PE investment.
We believe the sooner you let Franchise Growth Solutions guide your processes, the less work you’ll need to do once capital raise occurs.
