After conducting a simple internet search on franchise opportunities, it’s easy to see why so many people never take the leap and miss out on achieving their personal and professional goals. Sifting through over 3000 brands can be an extremely daunting task and the best decision that any future franchise owner can make is to begin utilizing the knowledge and expertise of a franchise consultant.

Justin decided at an early age that he wanted to be a business owner and since graduating from St. Johns University and entering the world of franchising, he has experienced all aspects of the industry including multi-unit ownership, master franchising, and executive-level management. It’s this diverse background that qualifies him to assist prospective franchise owners and future entrepreneurs in making one of the most important and exciting decisions of their lives.
Justin’s career in franchising started when he purchased three struggling fitness franchises while living in NY where he grew up. Through improved sales and marketing tactics, making key organizational changes and implementing operational efficiencies, all three locations reached top 5 status in the network before being successfully sold.
Justin’s next stop was at a nationwide property restoration franchise (300+ locations) where he got to learn the franchisor end of the business by working his way up to Vice President of Franchise Development. It was his time in this role where he obtained a deep understanding of the franchise discovery process, with responsibilities ranging from being the architect of Franchise Disclosure Documents to assisting prospective owners in obtaining proper financing. In 2015, Justin took his franchise development experience with him and purchased a Maid Right master franchise which he still owns in South Florida.
“We all have what it takes to become successful entrepreneurs. Sometimes all we need is a little guidance to help us navigate our way down the path to success. This is what franchising is all about! I have had a very exciting journey over the past 10 years in franchising and I have been fortunate to have met amazing mentors who were willing to share their knowledge to help me grow in both life and business. This is my time to give back and to share what I have learned with the next generation of aspiring entrepreneurs. I’m looking forward to helping you get started on your journey to success in franchising!”
