  I can honestly say that Tom is hands down the best franchise consultant I have ever met. He is extremely knowledgeable, very attentive, easy going. I didn’t feel any pressure at any point. Tom uses all the tools in his arsenal to find the perfect business for his clients. He genuine cares and loves what he does, and it makes a world of difference, this sets him apart from all the other franchise consultants. Tom stayed in close communication with me throughout the entire process, always responded to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. Whenever I had a concern, question or needed an advice Tom was always available. I ended up buying a franchise and am very happy with the decision. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who is considering to purchase a franchise and trying to find the best fit with a great growth potential.

  Tom helped my wife and I tremendously as we explored franchise opportunities in 2017. We previously tried to do this alone, but found it overwhelming to consider all the available opportunities. We later discovered there were about 4,000 different franchises out there across 90 different industries, so it was no wonder we were struggling so much. Once we engaged Tom, he made it so much easier. Tom started by getting to know us. I'm certain Tom helps a huge number of people, but he still took the time and showed a genuine interest in getting to know us, our backgrounds and goals. With that, and his expertise and contacts in franchising, Tom put four different opportunities in front of us. Even though all four of them aligned with our goals, they were still very different businesses to consider. Tom continued to make it easy by guiding us through the rest of the process. He let us know what to expect as we spoke to representatives of each franchisor, and Tom gave us some resources to help prepare us to explore more. Even this stage of the process could have been extremely complicated and stressful, but Tom's insights helped make it a lot easier. There was never any pressure from Tom to move forward on any opportunity. He was always just there to support us in whatever we needed to navigate through the process. We ended up choosing one of the first four opportunities Tom put in front of us, which I believe demonstrates how well Tom's process works. I highly recommend Tom to anyone who is serious about finding their ideal business.

  I have spoken to many franchise professionals and brokers and all I can say is Tom is the best. He's extremely knowledgeable and really knows how to decifer your needs and wants and match you with the best fit. Many franchise brokers are looking to sell deals where they make the most money on a commission where as Tom looks out for his clients needs first. How do I know this you might ask because he hooked me up with a franchise that he doesn't even represent but he thought it would be great for me. Don't even think about the rest deal with the best and Tom is that guy.

  Tom was great! My wife and I had been exploring franchise opportunities for years.Tom stayed in touch with us providing many options, listened to our preferences, was always honest, encouraged us but never pushed. Tom helped us think things through and gave us confidence. After years of looking and decades of enduring the corporate grind, we pulled the trigger earlier this year (2018). We highly recommend Tom to help you explore your aspirations to become your own boss. Hugh & Cindy Crawford

  Tom is an excellent franchise coach that I met through mutual business acquaintances. He walked me though the decision process like a true professional, with absolutely no high pressure. The outcome was positive for me, although I chose not to invest in a franchise at the time - but knowing that if I ever do, I will be calling Tom and only Tom for advise!

  Tom is a sincere advisor and partner who takes the time to understand the wants and needs of potential franchisees and matches them appropriately to prospective opportunities. My experience with Tom as a guide through the process has been valuable to my exploration of franchising and to my overall professional capabilities as well.

  Tom provides an incredible service and I was thoroughly impressed by his attention and care. It's impossible nowadays to find service from someone who actually CARES about you and your situation. He put numerous hours and attention into my story and catered to every request I had. More than anything he was a wonderful person to talk to and made the day better. He gave me fantastic advice which I still live by. Also he was on time for every phone call and available whenever I needed him. I cannot say enough positive about my experience with Tom. He's not looking to make a quick buck off you, he's looking to help you any way he can.

  I discovered Tom when he contacted me about a franchise in which I wanted to receive more information. He described the how to buy a franchise process from beginning to end. He also has a wealth of information online. Upon my request, he presented me with what he thought were the 5 best franchises that matched by skills and interests. When I decided I wanted to buy a coaching franchise, he presented an additional one to me for comparison and it ended up being by second choice. I was under no obligation and I was never given the hard sell.

  I have know Tom for 30 years, even before he was in Franchising, and there is no one who is more passionate about the industry than Tom. If you’re thinking about business you must have a talk with Tom
