Buying or growing a franchise isn’t just about choosing the right brand — it’s about building a financially sound plan that lenders, investors, and franchisors can believe in. That’s where I come in.
For more than a decade, I’ve helped franchise buyers and operators secure funding, evaluate opportunities, and scale locations through custom franchise business plans built specifically for SBA lenders, banks, and franchise development teams. I don’t use templates. I build plans that reflect the real economics of your franchise and the real goals behind your expansion.
When I write a franchise business plan, I focus on one core question:
Does this franchise make sense as a business — not just as a brand?
How I Approach Franchise Business Plans
Franchise plans are different from startup plans.
You’re buying into a proven system — but that doesn’t mean success is automatic.
When I build your franchise plan, I focus on:
- Unit-level economics
- Ramp-up timelines
- Franchise fees and royalty structures
- Marketing fund contributions
- Labor models
- Real estate and site economics
- Exit potential for multi-unit operators
I translate the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) into a clear financial and operational story lenders and partners can understand.
Types of Franchise Business Plans I Create
I support franchise buyers and operators at every stage, including:
Franchise Startup & Ownership
- Single-Unit Franchise Startup Plans
- Franchise SBA Loan Business Plans

Franchise Growth & Expansion

Franchise Transactions

- Franchise Refinance & Restructuring Plans
What Makes My Franchise Plans Different
Most franchise plans repeat what the franchisor already says.
I go further.
When I write your plan, I focus on:
- Real-world cash flow, not brochure projections
- Conservative break-even analysis
- Staffing plans that reflect reality
- Marketing strategies that work locally
- Expansion models that don’t overextend you
I don’t just help you buy a franchise.
I help you build a profitable operation.
What You Get When I Build Your Franchise Business Plan
Every franchise project I take on includes a custom financial and operational roadmap, typically including:
- Lender-focused executive summary
- Franchise brand and system overview
- Market and territory analysis
- Startup and ramp-up budget
- 3–5 year unit-level financial projections
- Debt service and cash flow analysis
- Growth and exit planning
Most franchise business plans range from $750 to $2,000, depending on whether the plan is for a single unit, multi-unit expansion, or an acquisition.
Who I Work With
I work with:
- First-time franchise buyers
- Experienced operators scaling portfolios
- Investors acquiring franchise locations
- Entrepreneurs transitioning from corporate life
- Family offices and small investment groups
Whether you’re buying your first location or building a regional footprint, I help you approach franchising like a business owner — not just a buyer.
Why Franchise Business Plans Matter
Franchising lowers risk — it doesn’t eliminate it.
Your business plan is what turns a recognizable brand into a bankable investment. It’s also what keeps you from overextending, undercapitalizing, or misunderstanding the economics of your deal.
My job is to make sure you walk in with clarity, not assumptions.
