The economy is shifting. Are you positioned for the future of business?
Franchisees come from all walks of life, but we've found that it's an ideal option for people in these life stages. Is this you?
Transitioning out of Corporate America
You've put in years working your way up the corporate ladder, and now you're ready for something new and exciting. Leverage your 401(k), or home equity to upgrade your career.
Recent college graduate
Start investing in yourself right away. Franchisors provide training and support to help you create success, even in industries where you may not have a lot of experience.
Unexpectedly laid off or downsized
From corporate America to the federal government, lay-offs are picking up steam. Recession-proof yourself by taking control of your financial future through business ownership.
Entrepreneur / Investor
Franchise businesses provide lucrative diversification to an investment portfolio. Many concepts can be run semi-passively so that you can leverage time while growing your wealth.
But here's the thing: Each franchise opportunity is as unique as you are.
There are thousands of franchises in dozens of industries. So how do you know which one is right for you?
That's where we come in.
It's all about fit. If you pick a brand simply because you enjoy their products or services yourself, but it doesn't match your values, personality type, and lifestyle, you'll be miserable. But if you align yourself with the perfect-fit opportunity? It can mean decades of fulfillment, financial prosperity, and most importantly, the freedom to fully invest in your family as a faithful father.

Jamie Davis
A graduate of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL, Jamie is the husband of Sarah and father of five. He spent 25 years in the fast-paced Software-as-a-Service industry, climbing the corporate ladder and excelling in problem-solving, opening new markets, and forming game-changing strategic partnerships. Jamie researched, acquired, integrated, and sold multiple HR tech companies. Eventually, he took on a CEO role for a start-up, leading the evolution and growth of HCR Software for over a decade. In October 2023, Jamie, then CEO, sold HCR Software Inc. to a private equity-backed strategic buyer. Through his business ventures, Jamie has gained expertise that he now uses to help fathers identify the right franchise fit, enabling them to be fully present during their children's formative years.
Brett Ethridge
Brett started his first business while in graduate school with the goal of being financially independent by the time he started a family. He succeeded, growing that business to seven figures in annual sales and generating a passive income stream that freed him up to launch a cutting edge business in the EdTech space in 2010. Brett's passion is empowering men to be more fully present in the lives of their kids, which he believes can best be achieved through business ownership. Coming out of corporate America to achieve success in different types of businesses across varying industries, Brett understands the needs of a diverse clientele and uses his skills to help match them with the perfect franchise for leaving a lasting legacy. Brett has a MA (International Finance) from the University of Denver and a BA (Public Policy) from Duke University. He lives on a small farm in east Tennessee with his wife, four kids, dog, cat, horses, and chickens.

Why work with a franchise broker?
Streamline the Process
With over 3,000 franchisors in the United States, deciding where to begin your research can be overwhelming. Fortunately, you don't have to navigate this journey alone. By partnering with Franchises for Fathers, you gain a research ally who will help you narrow down the list to reputable franchises that align with your unique situation and goals. We will coach you every step of the way, from "Where do I begin?" to "Congratulations! You've been awarded a franchise!"
Leverage our Experience
None of us is as knowledgeable as all of us. Our team specializes in due diligence, franchise inventory, franchise disclosure documents, franchise legal agreements, and more. Additionally, we utilize a proven entrepreneurial assessment, validated by a Ph.D. psychologist, to ensure optimal matches between candidates and franchisors. Could you eventually master these areas on your own? Possibly. But time is money, as they say, so let us work in our areas of expertise so that you can work in yours.
It won't cost you anything
You read that right. Our consultation services, assistance with researching franchise opportunities and funding options, preparation for due diligence, and even an hour of legal counsel with our in-house attorney — it's all at no cost to you. What's the catch? No catch, simply this ask: Let us introduce you to the franchisors on your short list. Once you're awarded your best-fit franchise, the franchisor will pay us a referral fee for bringing them a high quality candidate. It's a win-win for everyone involved!
We relate to fathers
With nine children between them, Brett and Jamie truly understand the powerful instinct to provide and protect. We are committed to supporting you without pressure, prioritizing your long-term success over immediate gains. The success stories and referrals from fathers (you!) after a franchise is awarded are far more meaningful to us than the compensation from franchisors. If we believe a franchise isn't the right fit for you, we will be honest and upfront.
We're on your side
If you've ever bought a house, you know how valuable it is to have an agent advocating for you throughout the process. Similarly when trying to be awarded a franchise, with us on your side, we leverage our knowledge and experience to work for you. Our interests are aligned with yours, ensuring that your success is our priority. When you're living your best life as a successful franchise owner and friends ask, "How did you get into this amazing situation?" we want you to confidently respond, "Let me introduce you to a friend!"
