For many people, the idea of owning their own business is an appealing one. However, the road to becoming a successful entrepreneur can be long and winding, filled with uncertainties and challenges. Enter Excelsior Franchise Center, a new franchise brokerage firm that has set out to help individuals achieve their dream of business ownership.
Founded by Keith Liscio, a 20-year veteran of the executive recruiting industry, Excelsior Franchise Center takes a unique approach to guiding prospective business owners through the process of becoming a franchisee. Rather than simply matching clients with available franchise opportunities, the company’s Business Ownership Accelerator offers a comprehensive suite of services that includes assessments, research, coaching, and consultation to ensure the success of a new franchisee.
The process begins with an extensive interview to assess the client’s goals, interests, and capabilities. From there, Excelsior conducts an in-depth entrepreneurial assessment tailored to the franchise industry, which helps the team to learn more about a person’s values, core competencies, and work style. Using its proprietary matching system, Excelsior then aligns individuals with possible franchise opportunities before conducting extensive market-level research to assess the availability of businesses in the target geography. The result is a presentation of viable business opportunities that match the client’s skills, interests, and investment level.
One of the benefits of working with Excelsior is the company’s network of resources. In addition to identifying franchise matches for its clients, Excelsior is well-connected with other business resources such as franchise attorneys, accountants, and financing strategists. This makes Excelsior a one-stop shop for potential business owners who need guidance and support in navigating the complex world of franchise ownership.
Excelsior caters to a wide variety of backgrounds, as everyone from corporate executives and middle managers to tradespeople and blue-collar workers can find success as business owners. The company’s approach is rooted in the belief that every individual is different, and so is every business. The key is matching the right business to each individual, and Excelsior’s comprehensive process ensures that the right fit is found.
The Business Ownership Accelerator is not just a quick-fix solution for prospective business owners. It is a systematic, comprehensive approach that is guaranteed to save clients time and money in the long run. Franchisors offer systems that can capitalize on someone’s existing skills while filling in experience gaps to move the needle toward success. Excelsior’s approach to franchising ensures that clients are equipped with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed as business owners. On top of that, Liscio’s services are offered without charge to prospective business owners. Franchisors pay Excelsior a fee from their marketing budget if a franchise is awarded.
In a world where uncertainty and instability are the norm, the idea of owning a business can provide a sense of security and control. Excelsior Franchise Center offers a way for individuals to achieve work/life balance and financial freedom through franchising. With its unique approach to matching individuals with the right franchise opportunities and its comprehensive suite of services, Excelsior is well-positioned to help prospective business owners achieve their dreams.
