Let’s take a moment to explore how we can work together to build your wealth as a franchise owner—whether you're looking to become a business owner for the first time or expand your current portfolio.
Some of you might be exploring additional streams of income but have never considered semi-absentee franchise ownership.
Others might be ready for a full-time career as a hands-on owner-operator of a business.
And some of you may be focused on scaling with multiple units or becoming a serial entrepreneur by adding new franchise brands to your portfolio.
How I Can Help You
Think of me as an executive recruiter—but for businesses instead of jobs. My role is to match you with the right business opportunities. There’s no cost to you for my services because I’m paid by the franchise if you purchase a brand I’ve introduced you to. You’ll never pay more than if you went directly to the franchise.
Plus, all franchises in my FranNet inventory are pre-vetted. Not every business that files franchise paperwork gets the FranNet stamp of approval. Our selection process ensures you’ll be introduced only to businesses with a track record of success.
Do You Need a Business Idea Before We Get Started?
Absolutely not! In fact, I prefer you come with an open mind so we can explore businesses that truly align with your strengths and goals.
If you already have a specific business in mind, we’ll still explore it. We can benchmark it against other viable options, ensuring you make an informed decision.
You may choose to run the business solo. If you like the idea of having family members involved you’ll find that my clients are couples, parent/child duos, or even multi-generational teams. Starting a business together can be a powerful way to build a legacy.?

How to Get Started
The best way to begin is by taking the no-cost, confidential Entrepreneur Profile. Just scan the QR code with your phone’s camera or click this link: www.frannet.com/ccward/cq.
This tool reveals how you’re wired from a business ownership perspective—your values, motivators, and key strengths. We’ll review your results together, and if we both see a path forward, we’ll schedule a personalized business model and matching meeting.
The Matching Process
During this meeting, we’ll connect in person or via Zoom to dive into your goals, budget, and business objectives. Are you building a business to sell in a few years or to pass down to family? Maybe it’s something in between. We’ll map out a business model tailored to your vision.
From there, I’ll identify franchises that align with your model. You’ll enter a discovery and validation process while I provide coaching and guidance every step of the way.
No Pressure, Just Possibilities
Not everyone ends up purchasing a franchise, and that’s okay. Many people learn valuable insights through the process and even become great referral partners. For others, franchise ownership becomes a reality, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients build successful businesses.
More Than a Business—A Personal Mission
For me, FranNet is more than a career—it’s a personal mission. My journey started long before I found FranNet, with years of helping people navigate career transitions and business ownership. Through volunteer work with Inforum and other organizations, I’m able to support entrepreneurs at all stages—even those pursuing non-franchise ventures.
When you work with me, you’ll sense my passion for helping you reach your goals. Whether you say “yes” to a franchise or decide it’s not the right path, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
