“Thank you Rick! You are hands-down one of the top resources for anyone interested in looking at franchising as a business opportunity. You wrote the book on the subject … literally. Your books The Educated Franchisee and the associated The Franchisee Workbook really helped us understand the franchise business model and are excellent resources for anyone looking at franchise opportunities. You were always a true pleasure to deal with and are undeniably one of the best franchise consultants out there. Knowledgeable and well respected by everyone in the business we spoke with, you were able to guide us through every step of the process, starting with the big hurdle of identifying appropriate franchise opportunities. You were never pushy, but were always organized, helpful and a super coach. We would recommend (and have recommended) you to anyone interested in exploring the world of franchising; they couldn’t have a better guide than you.” Constantine & Carolyn – New Jersey

“Rick has been a great guide, advisor, and friend. He has developed a great system, network, and the expertise which gave my son and I the ability to do our due diligence and confidently select a franchise which is perfect for us to build a family business. He continues to be a superior advisor, and is genuinely invested in our success. If Rick can’t answer your question, he has an expert in his network who can. I am very pleased to give Rick and The Educated Franchisee suite of resources my highest recommendation.” Steve – Florida

“Rick has provided me with thorough details regarding the world of franchising. He is always prompt with our scheduled meetings and he is well prepared. He has great insights that help breakdown the many components of how to evaluate a franchise business. He’s been a super resource and someone that I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of evaluating franchise ownership.” John – Pennsylvania

“Rick was a consummate professional that truly understood both the complexity of the match making process he was engaged in with me and several franchises and my needs and wants for the franchise.  He took the time necessary to understand what I needed and spent the extra time during the process to keep his understanding and thoughts accurate.   I also was comforted that he was working in the background for me, insuring I had a good experience across the companies he presented.  I would recommend Rick whenever asked for a Franchise consultant.” Dan – California

“Just a note to let you know what a pleasure it has been working with you. The VP of Franchise Development for one of the companies you introduced me to said that you were recognized as the best in your field and I have no doubt that it is true.  Your expertise not only in franchising but also in the process to determine the types of franchises that would be a good fit for me has been a tremendous asset to my search.” “Your professionalism and thoroughness are also equally appreciated.  Happy to be a reference for anyone considering your services. Here is to much success going forward”. Fred – Maine
