"We were first put in contact with Samantha with FranPath Consulting a few months ago. From our initial call, we could tell Sam had a tremendous passion for the franchising industry, in addition to her entrepreneurial skills, experience, and business savvy. We felt an immediate connection with her and she was always willing to answer each and every question very thoughtfully. We very much appreciated how available she was to us at every step along the way. When we were struggling to determine which direction to go between two very different franchise opportunities, we remember her taking a phone call from us over the weekend to listen to our concerns and help guide us in the direction that was best for us. She definitely provided us with the objective advice we needed. We value the business connection we have with FranPath Consulting and will absolutely provide referrals to them. We are very excited about our new business opportunity and all of the new connections we have in this business. Thank you for all you have done for us, Samantha!"

"Brittany and FranPath were such great resources in helping me define and find my next career endeavor. Their process was detailed and provided several great options that not only fit my desires but also provided thought-provoking businesses. I would highly recommend FranPath to anyone who is looking for that next business or chapter in life. Thank you again, Brittany, you were a pure delight to work with throughout the process."

"FranPath was invaluable in my franchise journey. After an earlier unsuccessful franchise search a couple of years ago with a different consultant, I was hesitant at first, but Sam was amazingly patient, respectful, factual, knowledgeable, and non-emotional… everything that I needed. I highly recommend the FranPath team to anyone considering a franchise."

"My experience with FranPath was excellent. Brittany really listened to what I was interested in and came back with strong options. I never felt any pressure to purchase and all my questions were taken seriously and answered professionally and completely. She also helped give me some perspective that was beyond my business experience as I have never been part of a franchise. Through my work with FranPath, I purchased a franchise that looks to be everything I was hoping for. I would highly recommend Brittany and FranPath to anyone contemplating a move into business ownership through franchising."
