The real difference

A broker works their roster. We work only for you.

FranNet is one of the oldest and largest franchise broker networks, with 35+ years and dozens of local consultants who guide aspiring owners toward a franchise. For a candidate, that free guidance is genuinely useful, and for franchisors, the broker channel is a real source of referred candidates.

But understand the incentive. A broker is paid a placement fee, and they guide each candidate toward a brand from their roster that fits, which means you are competing with every other brand in their book for that person's attention. The candidate is shared, and the match is shaped by what the broker represents.

Franchise Fast Track works only for you. We recruit funded investors outbound from a proprietary database of 14M+ high-income professionals, screen their capital and intent, and deliver them exclusively to your brand, with no placement commission steering where they land.
