Free to you
IFPG consultants are compensated by the franchisor only when a match is made. Your consultation, research, and guidance cost you nothing.
The practice
Independent guidance for people ready to own something real.
Certified IFPG Franchise Consultant helping aspiring entrepreneurs find, fund, and launch their perfect franchise business.
Certified. Independent. On your side of the table.
Own A Franchise Business is a franchise education and matching practice. We sit with aspiring owners who want a proven system — not a guess — and we introduce them only to brands that survive due diligence.
As an IFPG-certified consultant, guidance is free to you. Compensation comes from the franchisor if and when a match is awarded. That model only works if we protect your downside: we would rather send you home than push a weak system.
Call +1 (925) 207-0266 or write wairimu@pivotfranchiseconsultants.com. No territory pitch on the first call. Just questions that clarify whether ownership is the right next chapter.
Pre-screened brands
We filter for franchisee satisfaction, Item 19 transparency, territory availability, and unit-level economics — not whoever advertises the loudest.
Funding strategy first
Most buyers do not write a check for the full investment. We map SBA 7(a), ROBS, HELOC, and franchisor programs before you spend a dime.
Red-flag protection
High turnover, missing Item 19 data, weak resale markets — we help you walk away from the deals that look good on a brochure.
