GET TO KNOW SCOTT

You Should Know Who Is on Your Side of the Table.

Scott has spent 25 years in the franchise industry, holding leadership positions and consulting for some of the most respected brands in the country. He has been a franchisee, worked for the franchisor, and sat on the private equity side of deals.

That means when you sit down with Scott, you are talking to someone who has already lived the decision you are about to make. His job is not to sell you a brand. It is to help you decide with clarity.

SUCCESS STORIES

The Success Stories We Live For

From first-time buyers to seasoned founders, here is what it looks like to choose a franchise with a trusted advisor in your corner.

What was already going to be scary, no matter what, was less scary because of his support and his care. He cared a lot. If you’re afraid, this is somebody you should talk to. He’s an asset. He sees you, and he cares.

Malik Reed

NFL Linebacker and First Time Franchise Owner

I didn’t just go out and start research, I went to Scott. He’s been a franchisee. He’s worked for the franchisor. He’s been part of private equity deals. He understands the game- he’s still a trusted advisor whether it’s your first time or someone like me who’s done it for over 25 years.

Forrest Walden

Iron Tribe Fitness Franchisor & Project Lean Nation Franchisee

I had no idea that there’d be something within my investment range, within my interests, that would check all my boxes. I wouldn’t know that if I hadn’t talked to Scott and learned all about this world.

Kristin Flaherty

Former Corporate Professional, First Time Franchise Owner

The night before our visit, he said, ‘If this doesn’t feel right, we can go right back to the drawing board- no problem.’ Having that security before going in made me feel like, okay, if it doesn’t feel right, that’s okay

Cece Reed

Wife, Mother and First Time Franchise Owner

You’re not just given a small batch of opportunities- you really have an open book. Scott truly has a strong background in franchising. He knows the business. He knows experts in the field.

Bryon Sergeant

First Time Franchise Owner

This does not cost you anything. It is truly just a conversation. There is no requirement to move forward. You’re not wasting anyone’s time. You’re truly just seeing what’s out there- and I think once you realize what’s out there, you want to learn more.

Gina Caruso

First Time Franchise Owner at Sola Salons

Scott didn’t give up on us. If we didn’t like one franchise, he presented another. The decisions weren’t easy, but they were a lot easier working with him than if Carrie and I were just doing our own research on Google.

Frank

First Time Franchise Owner at Surface Experts

“Scott Thompson is widely regarded as one of the most esteemed professionals in the franchise industry. His extensive knowledge and numerous connections make him highly sought after. I have had the privilege of co-teaching a franchising class at a major university with Scott for several years. His genuine care for individuals and passion for seeing others succeed are truly remarkable. Scott is an invaluable asset and someone you definitely want in your corner.”

Craig Carter

Field Operations – Sr. Principal Program Lead

“I met Scott through franchising over 15 years ago. He has been a colleague, client, and friend for many years.

Scott really understands all aspects of franchising and has been successful in many ventures. His dedication to the industry and professionalism make him an ideal franchise coach.

Scott has furthered his education as is a teacher at UGA. It’s all part of giving back. He’s a valuable resource for me as a franchise consultant. We share ideas and solve challenges together when I need another point of view.

If I was looking for a franchise opportunity Scott would be my first phone call.”

Barry J. Falcon, CFE

Senior Advisor

“Scott was one of the reasons we signed on with his group of franchisors. Overtime we developed a relationship, and he has become a trusted resource in the franchise space. He is a consummate professional, honest and has keen insight into franchise sales and operations. I would highly recommend him in the franchise space as he would be an asset in building any system the correct way with sound fundamentals.”
