Free. About 6 minutes. Works on your phone.
Take the Assessment
Most franchise searches start with the brands. This one starts with you.
The Franchise Owner Fit Assessment is 15 short questions, about 6 minutes on your phone, that read the two things that actually determine whether now is your moment.
The first is your financial readiness. Whether a viable funding pathway exists for you right now, and if so, which ones you may have available to you.
The second is your owner readiness, measured against the eight HiPer8™ traits that tend to make great franchise owners. You'll see where you're strong and where to focus next.
You'll get one honest result with both answers, and one clear next step based on where you land. There's no numeric score, nothing you can pass or fail. Just the truth about where you are today.
Who this is for, who it's not for
This is for you if
- You're seriously exploring franchise ownership, not just casually curious
- You've been researching for weeks and it's getting more confusing, not less
- You want a real read on where you stand before you talk to anyone
- You'd rather hear the honest answer than the pitched answer
- You're okay finding out the honest answer is "not yet"
This isn't for you if
- You're looking for a specific franchise brand recommendation (this reads your readiness, not brand fit)
- You want a full custom plan handed to you right now (this is a 6-minute read, not a strategy session)
- You're offended by an honest "not yet"
What you'll walk away with
Two answers and a next step.
Your financial readiness tier
Ready, almost there, or building. If you're ready, you'll see every funding path you may have available, from self-funded to SBA to a retirement rollover. If you're not there yet, you'll see the specific next step that gets you closer.
Your owner readiness level
Named against the eight HiPer8™ traits. You'll see the traits you're already strong in, and up to three to focus on next. Every trait is coachable, so this isn't a grade, it's a starting point.
One clear next step
Not seven things to research. One. Based on the combination of where you land on money and where you land as an owner, you'll get the single most useful move for your situation.

Why we built this
I spent 14 years owning a franchise before I sold it. In that time I watched people jump in for the wrong reasons and struggle later, and I watched capable people talk themselves out of it because they didn't think they were "entrepreneur enough."
Both of those come from the same gap. There's no honest, no-pressure way for someone to find out where they actually stand before they start talking to brands.
The Franchise Owner Fit Assessment is my attempt to fix that. It reads the two things that matter, money and mindset, using the same framework I use with every client I work with. It won't sell you a franchise. It won't tell you what brand to buy. It'll tell you the truth about where you are, and where to go from here.
One thing worth being upfront about. When people work with me on franchise matching, they never pay me. The franchisor pays a referral fee, but only if the client is awarded a franchise. If we go through the whole process and the right answer is "franchising isn't for you," that's a completely fine outcome. I work for you, not the brands.
