BUSINESS & INVESTING EXPERIENCE
COST TO CANDIDATES

I’ve spent 20 years as a business investor and entrepreneur, founding an IT firm in Poland, a real estate company in Texas, and a Vanguard Cleaning franchise territory in Houston that I grew to 30+ franchisees and 300+ customers before exiting.
My focus is helping you evaluate franchise opportunities based on your goals, budget, and preferred lifestyle. I’ll help you identify options that genuinely fit what you’re looking for.
My process starts with understanding your goals and budget. Then, I narrow down the best-fit franchises, review key FDD details, and connect you with existing franchisees before you decide.
Franchise ownership done right gives you control of your schedule, your income, and your future, without the guesswork of building a business model from scratch. Here’s what that support looks like in practice.
Get a vetted shortlist of franchises that fit your investment range, experience, and preferred level of involvement.
I'll tell you when a brand isn't the right fit, even if that means recommending you wait or keep looking.
I help you understand key FDD sections, evaluate the business model, and identify questions to ask before moving forward.
The relationship doesn't end at closing. I stay available as you open and grow your new business.
Every candidate follows the same arc; here’s how the journey typically unfolds.
Most people I work with don’t know where to start when investing in a franchise. Many also want to know which franchise opportunities are gaining the most interest and whether they’re a good fit.
I use my experience as a franchise consultant to help you evaluate your options and find opportunities that fit your goals. I guide you through each step so you can make a more informed decision.
My services are free of charge to my candidates. If I introduce you to a franchise that you decide to invest in, I get compensated by the franchisor. You will not pay anything for my franchise coaching services.

EXCELLENT Based on 43 reviews Posted on Google Stephanie LeviTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would tell people to work with Adam because he is genuine. As a first time investigator of franchising, Adam took the time up front to ask me really thoughtful questions about my goals and aspirations for owning a business and took my information to provide really thoughtful recommendations. He provided me with resources of all avenues from navigating conversations with franchises, financial advisors, and much more. I felt that Adam genuinely cared about my success and has been extremely patient with me throughout the process. He describes it as "my own journey" so if there is something in the process that feels off, Adam is open to helping me work through it, or move onto the next step. From day one working with Adam, it's always been about what's in my best interest.Posted on Google John TraylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adam Goldman is professional and full of knowledge about all things related to franchising ownership. He has significant clients and understands the legal implications, the financial commitments, and the other complexities of starting a franchise. Highly recommended for his expertise and understanding of this area.Posted on Google Erik ETrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are interested in learning more about franchise opportunities and would like assistance in narrowing down opportunities and how to navigate the decision process I would recommend you reach out to Adam. He does not charge a fee and did not pressure me to commit even after meeting with me multiple times, summarizing my interests, and reaching out to franchisers to set up interviews. Highly recommend him if you are looking for somebody professional, personable, responsive and knowledgeable to navigate you through the process of learning about owning your business and how to select the best one for you.Posted on Google Rashmi NemadeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We met Adam on LinkedIn, and what a connection! From initial conversation to three stores strong now in our brand! Adam brought us a home run! Thanks, Adam!Posted on Google Michael KnoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adam reached out to me via LinkedIn at the perfect time when I was looking for a career change. I had toyed with the idea of a franchise for a couple of years, but really didn't know how to even get started. Adam got to know me and my wife over the course of a couple of phone calls, and gave us three fantastic options of franchises that were good fits for us and for our location. Four months later, we are signing a franchise agreement and can't wait to get started with our new lives as business owners. I just don't see how I could have found such a great fit without Adam's help.Posted on Google Jim ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adam is a great partner. He took the time to get to know my wife and I and what we are looking for, and presented opportunities that fit our personal objectives.Posted on Google Nick CaputoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A franchise resale may let you step into an established business instead of building from the ground up. See available opportunities and find one that fits your goals.
Straight answers to the questions every
serious candidate asks before their first call.
A franchise consultant listens to your goals, budget, and lifestyle needs, then matches you against a curated portfolio of vetted franchise brands, walks you through the FDD and financials, and coordinates franchisee validation calls before you ever sign anything.
Yes. Franchisors pay a placement fee only after a successful match, so the matching, coaching, and due diligence support you receive costs you nothing.
Most candidates move from an initial consultation to a signed franchise agreement in 30 to 90 days, depending on how quickly you complete due diligence, financing, and Discovery Day.
That’s the most common starting point. The discovery process starts with your skills, interests, and financial goals, then narrows a list of 500+ brands down to a short list that actually fits, no industry decision required up front.
A business broker typically sells an existing business for a seller-paid commission. A franchise consultant like Adam Goldman works with prospective franchise buyers to identify and evaluate new franchise opportunities at no cost, with no obligation to buy.
Franchise investments typically range from $50,000 to $500,000+ in total capital required, and that can come from savings, an SBA loan, a retirement rollover (ROBS), or a financing partner. There’s no universal credit score cutoff. Each franchisor sets its own net worth and liquidity requirements, and I’ll help you find brands that actually match what you have to invest.
Yes. Many franchise models are built for semi-absentee or executive ownership, where you hire a manager to run day-to-day operations while you oversee the business part-time. I’ll flag which brands on your shortlist support that structure and which ones require full-time, hands-on involvement.
No. I stay involved through Discovery Day, opening, and your first year of operations, answering questions, making introductions, and helping you work through challenges as they come up. The relationship doesn’t end at closing.
