Refer prospects who can't find a franchise they love in your portfolio, people who want full ownership without royalties, candidates who don't meet franchise capital requirements but could qualify for SBA, or anyone interested in buying an existing business instead of a franchise. These are the deals you'd lose anyway.

You earn 60% within 30 days of the client's payment. For larger packages with payment plans, you receive your commission as payments come in. We provide full transparency on client status and payment tracking.

Just a warm intro email. We take over from there. You don't need to sell us, explain our services, or handle any follow-up. Introduce the prospect via email, we run the sales process, and you earn 60% when they enroll. We'll provide email templates to make it easy.

Because we want you to actively refer. Most franchise referral fees are 40-50% of the franchise fee. We're offering more to make this worth your time. And we handle 100% of fulfillment—you don't sell, explain, or follow up. Just refer and earn.

You only earn on closed deals. No risk to you. But we have strong systems and a vested interest in closing—that's how we both make money. We handle the full sales conversation and fulfillment process.

We're non-competitive. We only work with prospects who don't fit franchises. If someone wants a franchise, that's your deal—we don't touch it. We serve the overflow—the people you'd lose anyway because they don't fit your portfolio or don't meet franchise requirements.

Yes—that's how most self-funded buyers do it. You search evenings, weekends, and lunch breaks. Most of the work is emails, calls, and document review. You don't need to quit your job until you've found a deal and are ready to close. Budget 10-15 hours per week for an active search.

680+ is the minimum for most lenders. 700+ gives you better options and terms. If your credit is below 680, we can discuss strategies to improve it before you start searching. Your credit score is one of several factors—capital, experience, and the business's financials also matter.

No. You need transferable skills—management, operations, leadership, problem-solving. A 20-year corporate manager can buy an HVAC company. You're not fixing furnaces; you're running a business. The technical work is done by employees. Your job is to lead, manage, and grow.

The $2,500 Acquisition Readiness package includes: target criteria development, market analysis for your geography, financial qualification review, SBA loan pre-qualification support, and a comprehensive 'Ready to Search' roadmap. You'll leave knowing exactly what you can afford, what to look for, and how to proceed.

You can—but most first-time buyers make expensive mistakes. They overpay, miss red flags in due diligence, or struggle to get financing. The learning curve is steep and the stakes are high. We've done this before. We help you find the right deal, structure it correctly, evaluate it properly, and close it without leaving money on the table.

Less risky than starting from scratch. When you buy, you're acquiring proven revenue, existing customers, and trained employees. The SBA agrees—that's why acquisition loans are often easier to get than startup loans. You're not betting on an unproven idea; you're buying something that already works.

Typically 6-12 months from search to close. Some deals happen faster. The SBA loan process itself takes 60-90 days once you have a deal under LOI. The search phase is usually the longest—finding the right business at the right price with a motivated seller.

For SBA-financed acquisitions, you typically need 10% down—sometimes less with seller financing. On a $500K business, that's $50K. Compare that to the $100K+ you'd need to start from scratch and survive 12-18 months before profitability. Most buyers need $50K-$75K accessible including down payment and working capital reserves.

We specialize in local service businesses: commercial cleaning, HVAC, plumbing, staffing agencies, home health, landscaping, and similar models. These are boring but profitable—exactly what SBA lenders love to finance. They have recurring revenue, proven demand, and don't require you to invent anything new.

When you buy a franchise, you pay fees forever: 5-10% royalties, marketing fund contributions, required vendor purchases. Over 10 years, that's $400K-$1M+ extracted from your business. When you buy an independent business, you own 100%. No ongoing payments to anyone. No territory restrictions. No franchisor approval needed to sell. Full control.

Most clients generate first revenue within 60-90 days of launch.

Typical timeline to $5K-$10K/month: 4-6 months

Typical timeline to $15K-$25K/month: 8-12 months

Results vary. These are benchmarks, not guarantees.

For SBA loans: 680+ (700+ preferred for best terms)

For our program: We work with 650+, but will be honest if your credit needs work first.
