Ray Fanning

Ray didn't just study franchising. He ran franchise companies. President of a retail franchise. VP of Operations for a service franchise. COO of an international restaurant group. He's seen how these systems actually work ... from the inside ... and what separates the ones that support their owners from the ones that don't. He's been consulting with FranChoice since 2001. He's guided candidates through 24 years of market shifts, brand evolutions, and hard conversations that most advisors won't have. Ray's approach is direct. He'll tell you what he sees. He'll challenge you when something doesn't line up. And he won't let you sign something he doesn't believe in.
