Franchise Consulting- A Recession-Proof Business That Thrives in Any Economy

Nov. 18, 2008 - Despite the headlines declaring an economic crisis, Business Alliance Franchise Consultant, Mike Reis finds himself in the enviable position of operating a business that continues to thrive.

“Business Alliance is a franchise consulting business which helps people find the franchise that is the best match for them based on their background, skills, financial requirements and goals,” Reis explained. 

“There is a huge demand for franchise consulting, and it is growing every year…In the last five years alone the percent of people who have used franchise consultants has grown from 5% to 29%. That’s almost 600% growth in our industry! I don’t know of any industry that has experienced that level of growth, and the number of franchise consultants has not grown at anywhere near that pace…as a result,  Business Alliance is accepting new consultants to keep up with the tremendous growth in franchising and the increasing demand for franchise consulting services,” Reis said.

“One of the most important benefits of franchise consulting is that it is recession-proof. Franchise consulting is not negatively affected by a down economy...This is also one of the businesses that actually performs even better in a down economy, because among other factors, downsizing drives people to franchise ownership,” he said.

The Leader in a Flourishing Industry
Although the franchise consulting industry as a whole is experiencing significant growth, it’s Business Alliance’s commitment to excellence that’s made it the largest and most successful franchise consulting company in the industry. The company was started in 1991 and has since grown to over 240 consultants in the United States, Canada and Europe. 

“Business Alliance has had tremendous success in the franchise consulting industry because the company has relationships with the best franchise companies in the industry…and only works with the franchises that have the best success rates and the best training and support systems,” Reis explained. “We work with more of Entrepreneur magazine’s Top 500 franchises than anyone else.”

“Business Alliance consultants can focus prospective franchisees on the best opportunities available…because we’ve already done the research for them…saving them a great deal of time and effort...This puts Business Alliance consultants in a better position to provide the best help to the most people,” he said.

A Proven, Flexible Business Model
In addition to offering in-demand consulting services that attract a vast audience of prospective franchisees, Business Alliance consultants have the added benefit of owning a business that easily adapts to their lifestyle. “Consultants can operate this business from their home or a small office, requiring only a phone, fax and computer,” Reis said.

“Consultants have the flexibility to start this business on a full-time basis, or on a part-time basis while maintaining their current position. Since consultants do not need a retail location, they can control their business and have tremendous freedom and flexibility as to when and where they operate their business,” Reis said. Whether consultants choose to run their business from home, or from an office, they can take advantage of Business Alliance’s affordable, proven business system that requires no employees, no inventory and no travel.

“New consultants do not need any previous experience as the company has a very comprehensive training and support program that gives them all the knowledge and tools to be very successful in this business. All new Consultants undergo The Business Alliance training program, which is the best in the industry, and has been extremely effective and well-received by new consultants.” Reis said.

“The ideal consultant for Business Alliance is someone who has a strong business background, though not necessarily business ownership experience. He or she must be able to learn and follow a proven system, be well-organized, possess good analytical skills…and have excellent communication skills and a strong desire to help others,” Reis noted.

In addition to joining the leader in the lucrative franchise consulting industry, owning a successful business that helps others realize their dream of business ownership can be extremely gratifying and the biggest reward of all.
