WHAT I DO: Help successful individuals take control of their time, gain security, and do work that matters through franchise business ownership. HOW: Begin with my no cost Entrepreneur Profile. I guide clients through an efficient matching and research process - also at no cost - to enable them to make knowledge-based decisions that match their goals and budget. I also help find financing and introduce a team of professionals to help with legal guidance, accounting, health benefits, and even exit planning.WHY IT WORKS:My clients gain a deep understanding of the business model, the numbers, and the role of successful owners through direct conversations. I provide tools to secure the facts and data.WHY ME? I taught franchising at Tulane University and have owned 3 franchises and 3 independent businesses. My approach is research oriented so you get the facts and data to make smart decisions. I focus on TRENDS - not fads. I help you avoid costly mistakes. I'm not a cheerleader and will challenge your thinking.My students and clients began calling me "The Franchise Prof" and the nickname stuck. Talk to me and we'll decide quickly if we want to work together.WHAT CLIENTS SAY (from Google business reviews):I've really enjoyed working with Ted!

Would work with him again in a heartbeat! - K. ShieldsI say the following with the greatest of respect -- Ted's a horrible salesperson. Why would I say that? Ted is not there to sell anybody anything. Ted is there to be a guide, a sounding board and a tremendous resource. - Dick LewisI can't say enough good things about Ted. He's knowledgeable, professional, well connected, and responsive....and best of all, he's not pushy. - Steve BergfeldHOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?Clients spend 3-4 hours weekly for 2-4 months to complete a thorough research/due diligence process to make data based decisions that are right for them and their families.
