We Meet You Where You Are!

We work with corporate professionals across the country who are ready to make a smart, informed decision about franchise ownership.What Corporate Professionals Ask Before They Start
-
Do I have to be in a specific state to work with you?
No. We work with candidates across all 50 states. Our process is done remotely ...phone and video ... and fits around your schedule.
-
Are the franchise opportunities different by state?
Yes and no. Most franchise systems operate nationally, but availability, territory size, and sometimes investment requirements can vary by market. We factor your local market into every recommendation.
-
Is there a cost to work with us?
No. Our advisory process is completely free to candidates. We're compensated by franchisors only if and when a client chooses to invest ... and only if it's the right fit.
-
How long does the process take?
Most candidates move through the Informed Decision Process in 3–6 months. We don't rush it. The goal is a confident decision ... not a fast one.
-
What if I'm not ready to make a decision yet?
That's exactly who we work with. Most clients start our process in exploration mode. The process itself creates the clarity you need to know if ... and when ... you're ready.
-
Do you push specific franchise brands?
Never. We guide candidates through a structured evaluation process. The brands you explore are based on your goals, skills, capital, and lifestyle ... not our preferences.

Every case study here reflects what the Informed Decision Process actually looks like in practice ... the clarity, the pivots, the moments of doubt, and the decisions that changed everything. Some moved forward. Some walked away. All of them got it right.

The most important thing anyone can do who is going through this process of discovery, of resetting their life, of trying to start their own business, is to work with Terry Coker. I absolutely recommend Terry Coker.
Mark Mazur
Ray is the ultimate professional. He’s personable with a wealth of experience and knowledge in the franchise industry. He identifies franchises that fit the lifestyle and needs of his clients. As a new franchisee, he “held my hand throughout the entire process.’ He demonstrated his sincerity, attentiveness and always provided an array of solutions to any problem. If you are in search of a franchise, consider Ray Fanning.
Anita Ortega
When I realized it was time for an encore career, I called Terry. Best call I could have made. Terry took the time to interview me and ask me incredibly thoughtful questions about what I was looking for. When he presented a business idea to me, it just felt right from the start.
Joel Ungar
After owning businesses in the past, and then returning to corporate America during an economic slowdown, I knew when the market was stable I would want to own a business again. My wife and I looked at several options and when we came to franchising and connected with Ray we knew we not only made the right choice, but we made a life-long friend as well.
Cory Smith
I’ve referred people/clients to Terry who are thinking of starting a franchise business. Terry has demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and displays an incredible sense of follow up.
Lisa Mininni
Thanks to Ray, Derrick and I found a direct mail franchise to invest in, UMS for Central Chicago. Ray was dedicated to helping us choose a business that fit our lifestyle, budget, and our skill sets. I would recommend Ray, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with interested entrepreneurs.
