FBA Broker Finds Right Fit for Family Balance

Like many future franchise owners, making family-time a priority was a goal for Joe Collins. 

Previously a Senior Account Executive for Charter Communications, Joe was accustomed to commuting to his office daily, and was seeking an opportunity where he could be closer to his kids and spend more time with them. He wanted a better work-life balance, and began the journey of becoming a franchise owner. 

Joe began working with Lori Sturm from eAdvantage4u, LLC, an FBA broker that was able to identify Signworld Business Partners as a good fit for Joe’s background as a business executive. Joe soon purchased a unit in Port Jefferson, NY, and has opened Port Jeff Signs and Graphics. Now a business owner, Joe is finally close to his children and is able to maintain the balance he was looking for.
