- Earn ongoing income from a share of royalty and franchise fees collected in your area.
- Support local franchises your territory with coaching, guidance, and localized growth strategies.
- Act as a bridge between the franchise brand and franchisees, helping them stay on track and succeed.
- Think of it as franchise ownership at scale, with revenue potential that grows as you grow your region.
