FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I get started with Integrity Franchise Group?
The first step is booking a free call with us. It’s a simple, no-pressure conversation where we get to know you, your goals, and if franchising might be a fit. From there, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
How much does it cost to work with Integrity Franchise Group?
Our services are free to qualified candidates—we’re compensated by the franchisors when placements are made.
How long does it take to open a franchise?
The process can take anywhere from 5 – 7 Months depending on your schedule, validation speed, and funding needs.
What are my options for funding a franchise?
We work with several trusted funding partners who can help you strategize the best way to fund your business, such as SBA Loans, 401(k) Roll-Over (with no penalties), HELOC, or a combination.
Do I need prior business experience to buy a franchise?
Not necessarily. Many franchise models offer full training and support systems for first-time business owners.
Can you show me a list of brands to review?
Great question, and I totally understand why you’d ask for a list. But here’s why I don’t provide one: there are over 4,000 franchises in the U.S., and my portfolio rotates around 900 at any one time. Beyond that, I’ve also developed trusted relationships with independent concepts and emerging brands that don’t appear on a typical franchise roster — brands that are only available to the right candidates.
The truth is, looking at a list is like flipping through the Cheesecake Factory menu — overwhelming and often missing the point. The best fit for you might not even be one you’ve heard of because many top-performing brands aren’t consumer-facing.
Think of me more like a doctor than a waiter — my role is to diagnose your goals, strengths, and lifestyle preferences first, then prescribe options that align. That way, we focus on what’s right for you, not just what’s popular or obvious.
What is the franchise discovery process?
It’s our 7-step approach to help you evaluate and invest in the right franchise brand with expert support every step of the way.
What types of franchises do you work with?
We work with thousands of franchise brands in industries like fitness, food, wellness, home services, pet care, and more. Whether you want a full-time business or a semi-absentee model, we help you find the right fit.
Can I keep my job while owning a franchise?
Yes! Many of the brands we work with offer semi-absentee models designed for people who want to keep their W2 job. You can build a business on the side with a manager in place, while keeping your day-to-day routine.
Do I need business experience to become a franchise owner?
Not at all. Many franchise systems are designed for first-time business owners. You’ll receive full training and ongoing support so you can follow a proven playbook—even if you’ve never owned a business before.
What if I don’t know what kind of franchise I want?
You’re not alone—most of our clients start there. We help you clarify your goals, time availability, and investment range, then match you with franchise options that align with your lifestyle and long-term vision.
Before exploring franchise brands, we explore
you—your goals, lifestyle, and vision.
