Expert Franchise Consultants Providing Consulting & Development Services for Emerging & Established Franchisors

iFranchise Group Difference — Our Consultants

Founded on the principle that great people make great companies, the iFranchise Group brings franchise consultants with decades of diverse experience to every engagement. Every aspect of every engagement is personally headed by a professional with at least a decade of relevant experience — not farmed out to a rookie who will be learning at your expense (and perhaps at your peril). Virtually all of our senior consultants have either worked for significant franchise companies and/or sold franchises — real-world experience — so they know what it’s like in the trenches.

The following biographies reflect the experience of our top franchise consultants and our alliance partners — each of whom brings at least a decade or more of relevant experience to your project. Information on staff consultants is available upon request.

FRANCHISE ATTORNEYS
Independent and expert legal representation is vital to you in the design and implementation of your franchise program. With this in mind, iFranchise Group will assist you in the process of choosing franchise counsel, which should be one of the first steps you will take. We are happy to provide you with referrals to qualified attorneys, regardless of whether you choose to work with us.

The iFranchise Group has formed strategic relationships with the nation’s premier franchise law firms.

The franchise attorneys that we recommend have devoted their careers to franchising, and will have at least 15 to 20 years of experience in franchising and franchise law. The iFranchise Group coordinates all activities of its members with outside counsel to provide you with a seamless approach to the development of your franchise program, but does not participate in legal fees collected by outside counsel, allowing us to be objective in our recommendations of counsel.
