Social Network for Franchise Community

Franchise Central functions just like your favorite sites, except Franchise Central is specifically for people interested in franchising. Visitors to the site can create a free profile, and then start communicating with other franchise-minded people through instant messaging, chat and Groups.

Home to Navigator, ConnectMe

Franchise Central is also the new home for Franchise Navigator® and ConnectMe®, the only real match in franchising. We are able to create this match by matching candidates to our clients’ three criteria:  their Franchise Navigator High Performer Profile®, geographic preference, and liquid capital requirements.  These are bona fide leads, not just names; ConnectMe is the only true, objective match in franchise recruitment.  Further, once candidates have gone through ConnectMe, they can also connect with other people with the same profile as theirs, as well as people who are looking at the same franchise and business opportunities.
