Q: What exactly do you do at Traynor Franchising?

We help business owners turn their companies into franchisable systems and guide investors toward trusted, vetted franchise opportunities. From strategy and legal documents to marketing and sales, we cover it all.

Q: I’ve never franchised before. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most of our clients are first-time franchisors. We walk you through every step—strategy, legal documents, operations manuals, marketing materials, and even sales coaching. You don’t need to be an expert. That’s our job.

Q: What kind of businesses can be franchised?

Almost any business can be franchised if it has a proven model, strong margins, and systems that can be duplicated. Restaurants, fitness studios, retail shops, service businesses—you name it. The real question is: should it be franchised? We’ll help you figure that out.

Q: Do you guarantee I’ll sell franchises?

No one can guarantee that—and you should run from anyone who does. What we do offer is a solid foundation, a strategic marketing plan, and expert coaching to give you the best chance to succeed.

Q: I’m not sure my business is ready to franchise. Can we still talk?

Absolutely. Many of our clients start with a discovery call to understand what’s needed before they’re ready. Sometimes we say, “Let’s wait six months.” Sometimes we say, “Let’s go.” The first step is just starting the conversation.

Q: Do you help me sell franchises once I’m ready?

Yes. We’ll train you how to do it—or sell for you using our network and systems. Either way, you’ll never feel like you’re doing it alone.

Q: I’m looking to buy a franchise, not start one. Can you help with that too?

Definitely. We maintain a private inventory of vetted franchise opportunities that aren’t blasted across the internet. We’ll help you find the right match based on your goals, experience, and budget.

Q: Is franchising my business a good idea?

It depends. We’ll help you determine if your business is scalable, profitable, and duplicatable enough to franchise. If it’s not the right time, we’ll be honest—and help you get there.

Q: I’m not a big corporation. Can I still franchise?

Absolutely. Many successful franchises started as single-location operations. If you’ve built a strong, local business, we can help you scale it nationwide—or even internationally.

Q: What’s included in your franchise development package?

Everything you need:

  • Franchise strategy & planning

  • Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)

  • Franchise agreement & state registration

  • Operations manual

  • Franchise marketing materials

  • Website & sales funnel

  • Sales coaching or execution

  • Ongoing support

Q: Do you only work with certain industries?

Nope. We’ve helped restaurants, real estate companies, gyms, dog groomers, mobile services, and more. If the business model is sound and the systems can be taught, we can work with it.

Q: What are some benefits of franchising my business?
  • Faster expansion without taking on debt

  • Passive royalty income from franchisees

  • Increased brand recognition

  • Higher business valuation

  • Helping others succeed using your proven model

Q: How long does it take to franchise a business?

Our full development program typically takes 3 to 4 months. After that, you’ll be legally ready to offer franchises and begin the sales process.

Q: What if I already have one franchisee—can you help me go bigger?

Yes. If you’ve started but stalled, we can refine your systems, create a better franchise offering, and help you scale with the right tools and strategy.

Q: Do I have to sell the franchises myself?

Not if you don’t want to. We can train you to sell—or do it for you. Many of our clients prefer we handle the franchise recruitment and onboarding.

Q: I’m an investor. How do I know I can trust the franchises you recommend?

We only show you franchises we believe in. We screen for ROI, support, transparency, and long-term success. No shady deals or sketchy paperwork—just real brands we’d invest in ourselves.

Q: How much money do I need to buy a franchise?

It depends on the brand. Some start under $100K, others go beyond $500K. That’s why we start with a conversation—to match you with something that fits your budget and goals. Additionally, their are payment options for some brands.

Q: Why should I work with you instead of a big franchise firm?

Your content goes here. Edit or remove this text inline or in the module Content settings. You can also style every aspect of this content in the module Design settings and even apply custom CSS to this text in the module Advanced settings.

Q: Do you work internationally?

Yes. We help brands franchise into other countries and support international investors looking for U.S.-based opportunities. Let us know what you’re looking for—we’ll guide the way.

Q: Is my information confidential?
