Meg Schmitz Franchise Consultant
Have you ever considered owning a business, or buying a franchise? I have been offering franchise consultation services to budding and aspiring entrepreneurs for the past 30 years. Buying a franchise requires a huge investment of your time to research the right brands, but can be a waste of time if you don’t know where to look, or what questions to ask. Diversifying into essential, high-demand franchises is my specialty, and I can tell you that it is a major financial decision for any entrepreneur. Just like buying a home for your family, buying exactly the right franchise for your personal, professional, and business needs requires proper consultation and care. As you consider the path forward, I am here to help you navigate all the avenues you need to consider in order to make the right choice. You will avoid making costly, time-consuming mistakes as I share my secrets of success with you.
With 30 years of experience, I have all the tools and resources to guide you through an organized, established research process. Everything you need is all in one place when you work with me. There simply is no shortcut to making The Right Decision when you leverage all the tools I offer to you, which results in a confident decision that you have considered everything necessary to be a successful business owner. It takes considerable time and effort to take into consideration all of the most important elements before making a decision. No different from taking a job you know isn’t the right fit, to speed dating before marriage, the wrong decision comes with expensive consequences.
Whether absentee ownership, semi-active or job replacement, you don’t need to quit your corporate job in order to be financially successful. As your franchise business coach, you will learn how to use my playbook as I share my secrets to success that I have learned along the way. I’m considered a franchise expert and Guru by the Wall Street Journal because I have repeatedly invested in myself, with both franchise and independent businesses, and know what it takes to avoid costly mistakes to become, in turn, financially successful.

A Free, Consultative Approach
I provide complimentary consultation services to individuals considering franchise ownership. Much like an Executive Recruiter, when a match is made, the franchise company, sends me a placement referral fee.
