More than just a second opinion.
Your attorney reviews the legal language. I review the business reality - because knowing the contract is legal doesn't mean the deal makes sense.
-
90-Minute Deep Dive Session We go through your specific franchise deal together - financials, operations model, territory analysis, and every red flag I see from someone who's been in the trenches.
-
Business & Operations Perspective I don't just read the document - I analyze whether this business will actually work for YOU based on your market, your capital, and your goals.
-
Go / No-Go Recommendation A clear, honest recommendation with the specific rationale behind it. No hedging, no legal disclaimers masking the real answer.
-
Negotiation Strategy If the deal has potential, I'll tell you exactly what to negotiate on and how to position your asks - based on what actually works with franchisors.
-
Follow-Up Action Plan & Email Support You get a written summary of our session with specific next steps, plus 2 weeks of email follow-up for any questions that come up after.

Who's Reviewing Your Deal
Your review is conducted by the founder of Franchise-Grade Systems - a former franchise owner with nearly two decades of enterprise operations experience at major technology companies. This isn't academic advice. It's a perspective built from designing large-scale business systems AND from the firsthand experience of a franchise investment that failed despite doing everything "right." That combination - enterprise operations expertise plus franchise failure lessons - is what makes this review different from anything your attorney can provide.
Important: This review provides business and operational perspective only. It is not legal or financial advice. Always consult a qualified franchise attorney and CPA before making investment decisions.
