Together, we will review your Questionnaire/Industry Survey and Zorakle Assessment. As your consultant, we require insight into your identity, aspirations, and driving forces. Your answers to the Questionnaire and Zorakle will provide us with a profound understanding of your top priorities when considering a franchise. During this step, we'll seek clarifications, assess your business evaluation results, and gain a deeper understanding of your business-related preferences. There's no universal solution for business ownership, and what matters in a business for one person may not hold true for another. Once this step is complete, we’ll be better equipped to find a suitable match for you.

Which among our accredited brands align with your preferences? During this step, we will use brands as examples. These brands are tailored to your objectives, utilizing the data we've collected thus far. The ultimate goal of this meeting is to open eyes and minds to the wide array of opportunity in your market. After a bit of high level research on your part, we’ll pinpoint a couple industries that capture your interest. Initial conversations with the brand ambassadors will solidify our path, or help us redirect based on your newfound education and progress.

At this point, you will receive the brand’s Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and have gained a deeper understanding of the financial prospects associated with the franchise. Additionally, you will have the chance to engage in direct conversations with individuals who have already invested in the system, allowing you to hear their firsthand experiences, commonly known as 'validation calls.' You can ask the franchisees things about their day-to-day operations, the support from the franchisor, their financial performance, their franchisee satisfaction, their challenges and pitfalls, and any other topic you’d like to explore. This firsthand information can provide valuable insights and help you make a more informed decision about whether a particular franchise opportunity is the right fit for you.

While you’re in the Discovery Process and Validation, we will simultaneously be introducing you to our trusted partners for funding and legal reviews. Together, we will also assist you as you prepare for Confirmation Day.

As you reach the final stage of the process, seize the opportunity to make a strong impression on the franchisor. This is the moment to ensure that the business concept aligns perfectly with your vision. Ultimately, our goal is to secure a mutual "yes" between you and the franchisor.

Congratulations! You've reached a significant milestone. You've chosen a franchise brand, and they've chosen you in return. Once you've been granted the territory, you'll proceed to sign the Franchise Agreement and FDD, in addition to fulfilling your franchise fee payment. Following that, your training will commence, setting you on the path to successfully launching your new business. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
