When others wanted learn to do what I was doing I knew franchising was the right thing to do but I had no idea where to start. I am so glad that I found The Franchise Maker. Dave took my hand and walked me through the entire process. He has all of the resources at his disposal to make the process so smooth. I was able to concentrate on what I do best and he took care of the rest. Worth every penny.Russell Rooms, CEO/President

Uncle Dave helped me franchised footy rooty, he is top of line in the field, I have been working with other companies as well, nothing to compare. You will not regret working with him.

Dave and his team at the Franchise Maker have been instrumental in getting our company ready to franchise. We cannot imagine taking the journey with anyone else. We wanted to get this done quickly and efficiently and Dave made that happen. His attention to detail and communication skills are unmatched. He was very flexible to our schedule and met every need we had. What we thought was going to be a very difficult process, Dave made much easier with his expertise and experience. We would highly recommend the Franchise maker to anyone looking to franchise their business.

Franchising my business was something that I had been thinking about for quite some time. In fact I first contacted The Franchise Maker back in 2015. Finally in 2020 despite COVID-19 I made the decision to move forward and this was going to be the year. We began the process with weekly calls which soon became twice weekly. Dave explained in detail every aspect of my FDD and Franchise Agreement. His process is flawless and perfect for the small businesses. Thank you Dave and The Franchise Maker for making my dreams of franchising come through. I would highly recommend The Franchise Maker to everyone. They can and will make your dreams come through as well.

Franchising always seemed like the scary way to expand our business, so instead we decided to expand via license agreements. After having some success, we found some limitations to licensing and decided to reopen the idea of franchising. We searched online and were loaded with different companies, attorneys, consultants, etc. We interviewed two different attorneys and werent impressed with the transparency they gave us. Then we found The Franchise Maker. We started franchising our business with Dave guiding the ship. We had a phone conference once a week which freed us up to continue operations of the business. The greatest part of franchising with Dave is his ability to change your perspective. Dave took the time to work through every single question we had. He probably saved us thousands of $$$ by challenging our thoughts and we really appreciated that. We got approval from Hawaii for the franchise with no comments from the examiner. AMAZING! Honestly, our only regret is not working with Dave ten years ago! Thank you Dave!Anthony and Erika CardinaleColors on Cabinets

“It is my pleasure to review Dave “The Franchise Maker” because the testimonials/reviews I read when researching The Franchise Maker were the deciding factor in choosing The Franchise Maker to franchise my business. The Franchise Maker website has pages of great heartfelt reviews from actual clients that one can contact.Now that I have completed the franchise process with The Franchise Maker and have approval for franchising in the states of Hawaii, California and all the others, there is no doubt that all the testimonials must have experienced the same great communication and professionalism that I encountered. In my opinion all the reviews including my own, understate Dave’s personal approach, caring and great follow through on every phase of the process.Working with Dave has been an unexpected pleasurable professional experience as Dave explains in depth the procedures and guides you through a weighty regulatory process with calmness and ease in language you are able to understand. Dave works at your pace and schedule, since many of us are busy operating successful businesses.I consider The Franchise Maker’s fee to be one of the best dollar to value professional expenses that I have spent. The Franchise Maker fees are broken into payments to make it easy to get the process started. Dave is a true professional who doesn’t waste your time and is concerned about my business as much as I am. Dave also provides information on franchise registration processes in other states, without charging additional consulting fees.I’m looking forward to working with Dave, The Franchise Maker on another franchise model that is currently in the proof of concept stage.”Rob Toscano, Managing DirectorIsland Beauty Supply

I spoke with a handful of consultants and attorneys before finding Dave at The Franchise Maker. He was direct and transparent about all the steps and costs expected in the complicated process of franchising. All the others gave vague ranges and potentials without a firm understanding of the exact process. I enjoyed the process from start to finish. The expenses and process Dave explained upfront were exactly how we ended up. We now have a first franchise that looks to be on pace to outgrow our main office! We continue to work with Dave whenever we get the chance and would highly recommend him and his team to any business looking to franchise.

I wanted to franchise my company but had no idea how. I called The Franchise Maker in April and started the process. We finished the project and the franchise attorney had nearly no corrections on the finished project! A few months later, I had my franchise license in my hand. Dave was quick and explained every last detail to me. I am very pleased with The Franchise Maker service!

“We had talked about franchising our family owned business for years prior to pulling the trigger. After a year of frustration and wasted time and money dealing with an incompetent franchise assistance company, I made a great decision and called The Franchise Maker. From day one Dave made me feel comfortable that this process was going to be much different than what I had recently been through. I even called a few references and all gave stellar reviews. Together, we banged out the entire franchise structure and franchise documents in record time. Once the franchise disclosure document was completed, we awarded our first franchise one month later.Throughout the process, Dave and The Franchise Maker team were professional and always available to me. The best was when Uncle Dave came to meet me and my team. We worked for two days, finishing the details. Let me say that Dave is someone you want on your team.I would highly recommend The Franchise Maker to anyone thinking of franchising their business model.”Bryan Vaigneur, Vice President of OperationsCopper Penny

If you are a franchising novice, like I was, this is the place to go. David Waldman has infinite patience and will walk you through a complex process step by step, at a pace you can handle. No detail is too small to be explained or managed correctly. You will be in excellent hands here and at a very reasonable price, I might add. Thank you, Uncle Dave!

Dave and his team assisted us in franchising our property management business. Starting with the first phone call Dave was EXTREMELY diligent, patient, and professional. Franchising a business is a cumbersome task, and in addition, not all businesses are worthy or able to be franchised. Dave will be honest with you from the forefront about whether you have a scaleable model or not. Thats what you need; transparency, honesty, and integrity. We continue to stay in touch with Dave as additional questions come up and he is there right away for us. If you are considering taking your business career to the next level you MUST have Dave by your side!! Thank you!!

Montana Nights Axe Throwing was a hit from day one and in a few months we believed we had something special. We decided to grow it to something larger than our original dream and it’s no small task to believe in your vision enough to take the next step but to also find that appropriate kind of help to do so. So I searched the net and tried to sort through the various companies offering franchise development services and found The Franchiser Maker.Now I am not a detail kind of person. Im more of a dreamer and take action kind of person and Dave was the perfect person to help guide me through this project. He was painstakingly thorough and more than that patient with me. Our timeline for going live ended up being extended a few months only because of my availability to work through the various pieces of becoming a Franchisor. He held my hand so to speak every step of the way. Dave never wavered in his professional dedication to me and my company and no matter how many delays I caused he cheerfully saw it through to the end. I cannot say enough about his knowledge of what it takes to create franchise system and how thorough he was on every detail.In closing I d say this about my experience. It was worth every penny and I know that somehow I managed to choose the EXACT right company from the internet universe to help me realize my dream. Thank you Dave and The Franchise Maker for everything you did and will do for my company and my family. I will always remember time of my life.

We have been working with Dave to franchise and grow Floyd Mayweather’s fitness franchise, Mayweather Boxing + Fitness and he has been fantastic from the very first day. Dave knows franchising exceptionally well and goes the extra mile at every stage to help our business. After we were approved to franchise and started franchising, we viewed Dave’s counsel as so valuable that we retained him on an ongoing basis to continue to guide us as we rapidly grow our franchise business. We consider Dave an integral and invaluable part of our team. He is always on point to answer questions and provide counsel, and he thinks in a very commercially aware and business-savvy manner, providing practical recommendations in addition to the technical aspects of navigating the franchise landscape. If you are going into franchising, this will be the best resource you can find. Could not recommend highly enough.

I spent over a year deciding whether I was going to take the plunge and franchise my company. Throughout the process, I spoke with many franchising companies (both consultants and attorneys) and was pitched packages well over 100K. The Franchise Maker (Dave Waldman) showed me how I could franchise my company and receive expert-level services at a much lower cost. Needless to say, I was skeptical. Would the services be high-quality? Would the project stay on budget, and on schedule? Dave gave me a long list of references, and I called most or all of them. Through the process of checking references, I spoke with franchisors from different industries and with companies both small and large; and they all confirmed that The Franchise Maker over-delivered and came in on (or below) budget, and on time! Now that I have completed my franchising process, I am thrilled to join the long list of happy clients. The Franchise Maker provides an incredible service, and Dave has spent countless hours consulting with me and my company over the last 4 months. Dave has been with me and my team every step of the way. His energy and enthusiasm makes what could be a grueling paperwork process enjoyable. The amount of work The Franchise Maker did for my company is staggering. Best of all, Daves knowledge of franchising is amazing--he is an encyclopedia of helpful information and possesses the insights and experience that are only acquired after decades working in the field. I would hire The Franchise Maker again in a second. UPDATE: Its now been 6 years since completing my franchise documentation with The Franchise Maker. Im still very pleased with the service and quality!

In seeking out franchise developers The Franchise maker was the third on my list of five possibilities.  Not even knowing at that point all of what I needed to cover, Dave took the time to put fourth many topics kind of answering questions he knew would later come up.  Ill never forget, Dave was as excited as I was and an absolute joy to speak with.  Months later, when ready to pull the trigger, yes The Franchise Maker was my choice this was because of the positive energy, the knowledge he has in the industry, his process and the interest he took immediately in my business and the true need to help us through this process.  My time spent with Dave, Kristin and the Franchise Maker staff was nothing short of amazing.  The process was completed in such a way that I felt I was in a class and highly educated as to the franchise process.  If ever I needed to speak to or communicate with them I was almost immediately replied to, never left hanging, never left without every single question or concern answered.  The Franchisee Maker is on their game and do everything they say they are going to do with ease and excitement!  After speaking to several on more than one occasion,  I dont think any other company would have gave us the time, seriousness and true joy of helping us become franchisors.Respectfully,Dee Cannavo RobertsOwnerTear It Up!

We decided it was time for No Grease! Barbershop to expand into a franchise business. We were approaching our twenty year anniversary and for our big anniversary we wanted franchising our business to be our gift to ourselves. We didnt know where, how or who to start with on this journey and we had a few months to complete. We went online to research and the name The Franchise Maker just rang a bell for us. Out of all the others The Franchise Maker seemed to really know what it took to make a franchise. When we took a look at the video where Dave Waldman clearly explains the process of making a franchise we were sold. Dave was a straight shooter from the beginning. He told us what we could expect from him and that this would be a joint effort to complete the franchise process. Every concern we had Uncle Dave had the answer or he could get it. We knew very quickly we had found a team player to helping us accomplish part of our dream. We gave our Dave our desired date to complete the process and we all went to work. A few months later we received notice from Uncle Dave that we are official Franchisor! A couple of days later, we celebrated our twenty year anniversary! One of the best investments we ever made was The Franchise Maker team and the leader of the pack Uncle Dave!We highly recommend The Franchise MakerDamian & Jermaine Johnson, FoundersNo Grease!

“When we first opened The Rustic Brush we never dreamed we would eventually be on the path of considering franchising our business. Soon after opening we began researching numerous franchise sources from attorneys to franchise consultants. Franchising is a huge decision and a risk as well so we wanted to make sure we used the right company. We researched a few more sources and decided to go with The Franchise Maker. So we reached out to Kristin and requested a meeting with Dave Waldman. The day we spoke with Dave (as we call him now “Uncle Dave”) we knew why we were led to The Franchise Maker. Dave has over 30 years of experience in the franchising industry which includes working many years for corporate in several very large nationally well-known franchise systems. After our first conversation with Dave, we scheduled an in-person meeting and flew from Houston to San Diego. I’ve got to say that Dave and Kristin’s hospitality was far above our expectations! Dave took us out to dinner and even went shopping and took us to see some of the sights! Who does that!?! Uncle Dave does! One of our concerns with franchising was the need to convert our three current license agreement locations to franchisees. His experience in that area was key to us in rolling out our franchise and being protected legally all around as a business. The whole experience of working through getting our Franchise Disclosure Document completed was smooth and easy. He guides you every step of the way so there is no sense of being overwhelmed and believe me that document can be overwhelming if you’re not with the right person! We really wanted to franchise as soon as possible and with Uncle Dave’s knowledge and expertise we completed our Franchise Disclosure Document in record time - ahead of the scheduled date when we had expected. Uncle Dave is family to us now and we would highly recommend him if you are planning to franchise, believe me you won’t regret it!”Sandi Flores, President/CEOThe Rustic Brush

Dave was referred to us by a customer of our dog daycare business, Camp Run-A-Mutt. Our first meeting, it was clear, franchising with the help of The Franchise Maker, was a must. Dave took the mountain of information needed to become a franchisor and broke it down to easy steps. We just opened our 14th franchise location with five in the works and hes still there for us by email or a phone call. We always have and always will recommend Uncle Dave, The Franchise Maker.

We’d like to take this moment to tell you a bit about Dave and all the professional ways in which he has helped us achieve this goal – from taking our passion for offering these franchisor opportunities to everyone we know to the next level, to providing us the kind of individual attention we needed. This highly-competent franchising expert took us through a step-by-step process that made everything so much easier on us, and this, coupled with his extraordinary sense of humor, turned an otherwise daunting procedure into one that was actually quite pleasant.“Holding Our Hand” Through the Entire EndeavorWith Oksana® and the entire OMG team going into this foray with little working knowledge about franchising, Dave and his staff at The Franchise Maker helped guide us through the trademark process and even worked out legal details so we could secure our approval. We simply can’t say enough about the way Dave and The Franchise Maker pros “held our hands” through the whole procedure; we specifically wanted someone to walk us through everything step-by-step, but in an efficient and timely manner…and they delivered.What’s more, Dave’s program laid out and explained where every single one of our dollars would go, so there were no hidden surprises whatsoever, ultimately building the structure for the Oksana® Enrichment Programs franchise into something we never could have done. To say that these professionals were reading our proverbial minds is something of an understatement – while other franchise-building agencies we met with before deciding to go with Dave wanted us to fill out page after page of questionnaires, we didn’t have to go through that with The Franchise Maker.Some Additional SentimentsWe couldn’t have asked for a more thorough and knowledgeable staff to be on our side, as The Franchise Maker’s service went beyond all our expectations. From returning all our calls and emails immediately to being treated with an overtly hospitable approach and respect, this was a pleasurable experience from beginning to end. Indeed, our venture into franchising the Oksana® Enrichment Programs business was 100-percent dependent on developing a comprehensive franchise structure and a complete FDD that would pass the critical eyes of the examiners in arguably one of the toughest states to franchise in – California. Dave’s expertise and extensive knowledge of the FDD (and the laws that govern them) enabled us to meet our strict deadlines, yielding a franchise blueprint and set of documents that required minimal tweaks.As we move towards making additional announcements concerning Oksana® Enrichment Programs franchise opportunities, we wanted to first ensure we gave the man behind this exciting juncture his due applause – Mr. Dave Waldman of The Franchise Maker!

LeanFeast couldnt be happier with the outcome from Dave and his Team at The Franchise Maker. His no-nonsense approach to franchising and his completely transparent demeanor made us go from skeptical to trustworthy after our very first phonecall with Dave. His entire process is thorough and his final product (FDD) is easy to read and comprehend. If given the opportunity to work with Dave again, we would jump with absolutely zero hesitation. It is without reservation that LeanFeast endorses The Franchise Maker for all things pertaining to franchising your business concept. Thanks for everything Uncle Dave Waldman!!
