• Familiarity with franchise systems, licensing, or expansion strategies
• Background in business brokerage, consulting, or deal-based environments
• Existing network of business owners, brands, or operators
  

Why This Role is Different

• You are building relationships with brands, not individual customers
• You play a direct role in expanding franchise systems and market presence
• You operate within a platform designed to support both brand growth and deal flow
• Your work contributes to long-term revenue through strategic partnerships
  

Compensation

This is a performance-based role with strong earning potential:

• Opportunity for additional revenue share on franchise placements
