Q: Hi Mr. Hinton, Thanks for bringing your expertise to Ask the Expert. My friends, family and I always make time to check out this particular section of the Sun Herald's website! This is an interesting concept that you are presenting. What types of tests and/or analysis do you put your clients through to help determine what is best suited for them? Do you have a list of franchises that you work from or if a client has an idea for a company you've never dealt with before, would you take that into consideration as well? Thanks again for the time you are spending on this forum! Best of luck.

A: Thanks for the question. • Each client fills out a variety of questionnaires, surveys and assessments that elicit behavioral traits, interests, attitudes, values and work styles. During this step, several interactive discussions are conducted with the client to determine his/her goals, needs and expectations of business or franchise ownership. • No, we do not have a list of franchises that we can present without first knowing more about the goals and aspirations of the client. We work with a couple hundred franchises (most of which have been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine's annual ranking of franchises) at a wide range of investment levels, who have territories available across the United States. • We certainly take into consideration any ideas for a company that a client brings to the table. We can help them either directly or indirectly through coaching and our educational compartment which will enable the client to explore all of their options in a well-informed manner.
