Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of working with a FranStop franchise specialist?
Like a travel agent or real estate agent, a FranStop consultant is likely to save the client time and money. You will introduce the prospect only to those franchise opportunities that meet his or her exact needs, saving the buyer hundreds of research hours and wasted effort, all at no cost to the buyer.

What type of sales ability do I need to have?
The real "selling" is done by the franchisor, as only they can be experts in every facet of the franchise for sale. As a FranStop franchisee, you need to have good organizational and communication skills to match up buyers with the franchise opportunities.

What kind of ongoing support can I expect?
We are committed to providing you ongoing support in developing your business. As a FranStop consultant, you have access to updated systems and methodology.

Do I need an office?
Many of our franchisees operate their franchise as a home-based business with a phone, fax, and computer. Although most of our consultations are by telephone, you will need access to office space for client meetings. Please refer to the FranStop franchise agreement for more specifics.
