Are you interested in owning your own business? You don’t know where to start! Merit Franchises provides a free consultation service to help you identify the best franchise to meet your business ownership dreams. Merit Franchises is a member of a 25-year-old network of Franchise Consultants with the experience in helping individuals find the American dream.

Merit Franchises will arrange a phone conversation to gather information about your business goals and preferences.  Your franchise consultant will interview you to gather information to help identify a franchise that will meet your personal, professional and financial goals.  Your franchise consultant will send you a Confidential Questionnaire that will provide additional information about you and the kind of business that will be best for you and your family.

Once Merit Franchises has the information; the two of you will discuss franchise types that match your criteria.  The franchise types will be narrowed down to those that you feel best fit your goals. Your franchise consultant will identify appropriate franchises and present them to you for your review. 

Once you have chosen franchises that you wish to further investigate, the franchise consultant will contact the franchisors and have them forward the appropriate information and disclosure documents.  The franchise consultant will also place you in direct contact with the appropriate franchise representative. Merit Franchises will help you with questions to ask the franchisor, and will be available to you throughout your investigation.  Ultimately, it is your job to conduct a complete and thorough investigation.

Merit Franchises always recommends that you consult with qualified attorneys and accountants to review all documents before you make the final decision to purchase a franchise.  We can help locate attorneys and accountants, if you do not know any yourself.
