There is never a fee or an obligation to work with Axxiom Franchise Advisors.

The Axxiom Franchise Advisors work very much like a real estate agent that helps you purchase a home. The Axxiom Advisor will spend time helping to decide the right kind of business for you and then will introduce franchises matching your profile. If you decide to buy a franchise that Axxiom introduces to you, the franchise company pays us a pre-determined success fee but this fee never increases your total acquisition cost. Whether you use our professional services or not the investment cost is the same but you are without our counsel and guidance. This perhaps is the most compelling reason to work with us and help mitigate personal financial disasters by “going it alone”.

This is similar to the real estate agent that finds you the home, when you buy the home the real estate agent is paid by the seller – not you. In the case of Axxiom, the fees are paid by the franchise company.
Franchising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission, an agency of the federal government, and the franchise company can never charge you more because they paid a fee to Axxiom.

You’re missing the point, we help you define your vision for the future, confirm your strengths and weaknesses and match you to the franchise business models where you’re most likely to achieve the success you desire. This would be a very ineffective and inefficient method of finding the ideal franchise for you. You wouldn’t know whether you qualify for a specific concept, whether it’s available in your desired market area, whether it met your personal, financial, and professional goals, and a host of other issues that would only add to the chaos of selecting a franchise.

The International Franchise Association indicates that there are over 3800 franchise companies and they are spread over 75 industries. The question should not be what is hot, but what is right for me.

Hot concepts come and go, some are very good, some are not. Our experience helps guide you to the best opportunity. For example, when describing your lifestyle goals, you may have indicated that you want to buy a business allowing more time with your family. In the past, you missed coaching your son’s soccer team, or you weren’t available for your daughter’s dance recital. The “hot” franchise may be very demanding on your time and should not be a consideration.

Perhaps the “hot” new franchise is a new concept that has not proven itself. If you are not a risk taker, then you would be better off looking at a well-established franchise with a proven success record, but may not be considered “hot”.

We find that most people that work with Axxiom Franchise Advisors actually expand their options. And, no, we do not work with all franchise companies. Axxiom carefully screens the franchise companies that we work with; not all companies pass our requirements. Also, there are major, well-known companies that do not work with franchise advisors.

To be a good franchisee, you first have to make sure that you find the right franchise. It is almost a guarantee if you select the wrong franchise, you will not be successful. If it is the wrong franchise you may not be satisfied or happy with your choice regardless of success. An unsuccessful, unsatisfied, or unhappy franchisee is generally not a good franchisee.

Therefore, before you buy, we will help you examine your skills, abilities and experiences. You must look at what will really be a successful franchise for you in relation to your lifestyle, financial and business goals.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Your Axxiom Advisor will spend time explaining the advantages and disadvantages, and help you determine which concept would best for your overall goals.

Absolutely, buying a franchise is a major investment for most people. It is the type of investment that may be hard to recover from if you make the wrong decision. Therefore, it is imperative to get the advice of professionals before making your final decision. Consult with an attorney, preferably a franchise attorney that understands the intricacies of the franchise industry. You should also consult with a CPA or financial advisor.
