Liz and Dean are a young couple, with no kids- and motivated to work really hard to build something epic.

Dean co-owned a few Jersey Mike locations and was still working in the day to day, and Liz wanted to leave that job and start her own franchise 

Since they already had a lot of knowledge about franchises, having co-owned one, they knew what they liked and what they didn’t like about JM. Liz is also an introvert and doesn’t like doing sales. 

They had worked with 3 different Franchise Brokers (aka Franchise Consultants) over the last 12-18 months, and were feeling frustrated, skeptical, guarded, and were running out of patience.

They took a leap of faith and joined our Zero to Profitable Franchise™  acquisition system. 

Within a few weeks, our team found them a quality resale doing $2M in annual sales. We coached them through due diligence, and the overall transaction. They were able to put some money down and finance the rest through an SBA loan.

Dean sold his shares in Jersey Mike and is Full Time in the Certa Pro business.

Congratulations Dean and Liz!

We did a podcast episode with them where they dove deeper into their journey and acquisition process. You can watch that episode here.
