The Service Franchise Summit in Utah was everything we hoped it would be and more.
Three days of strategic discussions, mountain adventures, and genuine connections with fellow franchise leaders. Evan came back energized and full of new insights from conversations that happened both in conference rooms and on hiking trails.
Huge thanks to ClientTether and FranchiseFilming for creating such a memorable experience. The blend of business strategy and outdoor activities made for authentic relationship building that you just can't get anywhere else.

After opening their first club, inquiries started pouring in from people who wanted to bring The Flying Pickle to their communities. Within weeks of finalizing their franchise documents, they'd signed four new franchisees and secured two corporate locations.
We helped Paul and his team turn that unexpected demand into a structured franchise opportunity in the emerging pickleball space.

Franchising transforms local success stories into national movements. It's proof that the best business ideas don’t stay small for long—but it’s the people behind them who make franchising truly special.
At its core, franchising is about sharing success. It's about founders bold enough to believe their concept could thrive beyond their hometown—and franchisees brave enough to take that vision and build something of their own. It’s a system where entrepreneurs lift each other up, pass on lessons learned, and create opportunities for others to grow.
Franchising is about more than scaling business models—it's about empowering people to take risks, become owners, and change their lives. That’s what turns a single idea into a thriving community.
Here’s to the dreamers, the doers, and everyone in between.
To the people who teach, lead, and take chances.
To building legacies—together. Happy World Franchise Day!

The SBA Franchise Directory has been back since June 1st, 2025, bringing with it the streamlined lending process that made franchise financing so much easier before 2023.
For brands previously on the directory: you'll need to submit a one-time certification by July 31, 2025 to maintain your listing. New brands can apply anytime at no cost.
This return to the directory system means lenders can quickly verify franchise eligibility again, eliminating the complicated workarounds of the past two years.
We're helping clients navigate the certification requirements and ensure their brands are properly listed. If you have questions about your eligibility or the submission process, we're here to help.
