Navigating Wealth Building in Franchising: Lessons From an Expert

FBA’s Advanced Broker mentoring, an evolution of what was previously known as SMF, brings a fresh twist to the toolbox.

Every Monday, you can expect a variety of invigorating topics ranging from "Speedround Shark Tank" and "How This Deal Was Won" to practical advice on "Call Reviews – Do’s and Don’ts per Stage" and focused discussions on "Content That Helps You Make Money." These sessions are designed to inform and empower you with the latest tools, resources, and insights from industry leaders – encouraging you to gain mastery of them.

In our most recent Advanced Mentoring session, Rick McCullough, a seasoned business expert, presented a comprehensive view on "Franchising as an Investment: A Wealth Building Strategy for All Generations."

His 40-year career in accounting, investment banking, and now Franchise Brokering provided a wealth of insights into the multifaceted nature of franchising as a long-term investment strategy.
